How do I know if it will fit on one DVD?

So I am working on a DVD project (My first one) and I have about 12 movies that are about 20-25 minutes each in .avi format. The total size for all of these movies is about 3.07 GB.
How do I know if iDVD will be able to fit all of these movies on one DVD? Does it go by the 60min rule regardless of file size, or will all twelve movies be able to fit on one DVD? a DVD golds 4.7Gb of information right? So it should fit theoretically, but it is almost 3.5 hours of video.
Is there a fill bar or something within iDVD that can estimate how much space I have left for a DVD based upon the images, menus and movies I add to a project? I dont seem to find one in the iDVD project window and the Help file did not turn anything up.

The size (MB or GB) of the input files doesn't matter to iDVD. What matters is the length (in time).
iDVD renders/compresses/multiplexes your video into MPEG2 format which is the format of a playable DVD. With a single-layer DVD you can fit up to 2 hours of content (video, titles, etc.); with a dual-layer DVD you can fit up to 4 hours of material. iDVD will make choices of how to render your video depending on your quality choices in iDVD Preferences.

Size of all clips in iMovie that will fit on one dvd burned by iDVD

I have a lot of iMovie clips that I'm putting into one iMovie project. I know that at some point, the clips will not fit on one dvd, and that I'll have to split it up into different iDVD burns. Is there a way to know the maximum number of iMovie clips (size in MB, I presume) that, after being sent to iDVD, will (just) fit on one dvd? Trial and error is removing a clip, saving the iMovie project, sharing to iDVD, trying to burn, being told there is not enough space, then starting over with removing another clip - that is taking too long.

Hi
on SL-single layer DVDs - about four hours on DL if Your Mac can burn them
To get even more - Roxio Toast™ - can squees in may be up to ten hours
BUT - TO a quality near not usably. Quality invers to amount of material.
also encoding method is limiting
iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above

Say, is there a way to guesstimate how many pix will fit on one DVD?

I'm putting together slide shows for a retirement party and thought there might be a magic number for a standard DVD. Anyone know? Or know where to send me for the info?

With iDVD you will need to create a QT movie file in iPhoto by exporting the slideshow using the Export button at the bottom. Select size = Medium or Large. Next create an iDVD project and drag the QT file into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
If the playing time of the QT movie and menus is more than 1 hour but less than 120 minutes set iDVD's Porjects preferences to Encoding: Professional Quality.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?

1 ) I have query in which i have 3-4 tables but there multiple index on one column .
so how can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?
2) I have a query which ia taking too much time . how can i know which table is taking too much time ?
3) Please Provide me some document of EXplain plan ?

Hi Jimmy,
Consider the below example
/* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
CREATE TABLE FIRST AS
SELECT * FROM all_objects;
UPDATE FIRST
SET object_name = 'TEST'
WHERE owner != 'SCOTT';
CREATE INDEX idx_first ON FIRST(object_name);
SELECT *
FROM FIRST
WHERE object_name = 'TEST';
It has not used index
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 2265626682
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| FIRST | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
/* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
SELECT *
FROM FIRST
WHERE object_name = 'emp';
This has used the index
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 1184810458
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| FIRST | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_FIRST | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
From this we can come to the conclusion that, whether to use one index or not by oracle
would also depend on the data which is present in the table. This has to be this way as
we see in the bind peeking, if oracle sticks to only one plan, say only use the full table
scan, it would be a performance hit when it searches for the second query ie where object_name
='emp';
2.
If we have a query like below.
select * from emp
where upper(ename) = upper(:p_ename);
Evenif we have the index on ename column, oracle wouldn't be able to use the index, as there is a function in the predicate column. If you need oracle to use the index, we need to create a function based index as below.
Create index idx_ename on emp(upper(ename));
Regards,
Cool

I have some OLD software on my Mac Pro. How do I know if it will work with Snow Leopard? Currently I'm using 10.5.8.

I have some OLD software on my Mac Pro. How do I know if it will work with Snow Leopard? Currently I'm using 10.5.8.

Michael Wasley's link (wikidot) is as accurate as any I can find.
It's still wise to check with the vendors' websites for compliance.
Biggest source of problems seems to be printer and scanner drivers.
Appleworks 6.2.9 works fine in SL under Rosetta (note; Rosetta is installed by default in Leopard - in SL you may have to select it from the optional installations).
Check particularly with Adobe products; some you'd think should work ok suddenly don't.

I have 2 HP AC adaptors, How do I know which AC adaptor fits my printer?

I have 2 HP All-in-One Printers, One is a 7210xi All-in-One and the other is an HP Office Jet 5610 All-in-One, The 2 AC adapters are: 0950-4483-LA and 0957-2153. How do I know which AC adaptor fits the HP Office Jet 5610 All-in-One?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

0n the printer, near the power jack, should have a power details, something like "32v 1.5A", match that with the same on the adaptor. Also, they are color coded and some has a key, so the wrong one probably wouldn't fit anyway.

How do I make the form/pdf fit to one page?

I designed my first form today and it's two pages long. How do I get it all to fit on one page? It will be saved as a pdf.

While designing the form it will help to be in Page View. This gives a very close approximation to how your fields will appear in the resulting pdf. In the Design tab use menu View-> Page View. All page breaks will now appear as dotted lines. To aid in fitting more fields you can place forms side by side or reduce the font size. Eliminating the Header also helps.

TS2083 How do you know if you have more than one graphics card installed?

How do you know if you have more than one graphics card installed? My MacBook Pro does not provide a connectivity to TV via HDMI.

You can go to <http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro> find your Mac's technical specs.
Depending on what kind of video output port you have, you should be able to get an adapter to HDMI. For example a Mini Display Port to HDMI (I have one of these).

How did you know your idevice will be activation lock ?

I bought used iPad mini (only the body) at present it's work well I could use my Apple ID, buy some apps and update the FW via OTA. I heard from amny person If I restore and maybe it could not work unless I do not know the username and password of the previous owener (Activation Locked). My iPad mini will be a piece of junk only.
My question is how did I know my current iPad mini will be Activation Locked if I do the restore ? Do we have the method to check ?

And how should I know my device was enabled the Find my Phone already ?
The way to know would be to look in the iCloud settings to see if Find My iPhone is set. If you can't set into those settings, then it's highly probable that it's set and hence Activation Lock will be in effect.
Because If the previous was never enable it, it should be ok from Activation lock right ?
If you are certain that the previous owner never set up Find My iPad, then Activation Lock would not be a concern.

My iPod Touch won't turn on after it was plugged into my Xbox. The Xbox was off, I unplugged a wire to plug in my cable box, then there was a spark. I used my iPod and realized that it won't turn on. How do I know if it will still work?

Anyone know how to fix it if it will still work? Also, it won't connect to iTunes, so don't tell me to restore it because it won't. Plus, it won't go into DFU mode either.

How do I make a long table fit on one page?

I do a community newsletter, one page of which is a directory of residents. On this page, I have a table with 3 columns: name, address, and phone. There are 61 rows, which is too big to fit on an 8 ½ x 11 page. As people move in and out, I need to be able to change the name for the particular address and re-sort by name. Retaining this ability, how can I make this fit on one page? Ideally, I would be able to "break" the table into two parts of 30/31 rows each, with each part side by side on the 8 ½ x 11 page. I can't find a way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. I am working in Yosemite 10.10.1, and Pages 5.5.1. I have also created a Numbers 3.5 version of this table, but still cannot find a way to do what I want to do.

Hi Saundra,
Do you have to print it, or are you sending this out via E-mail/PDF?
The fix below, should work, either way:
If you are actually not printing it, and are E-mailing/posting online, Export as PDF, and E-mail address will still be active...
If it must fit on a smaller page, for printing or for whatever reason, drag the aforementioned PDF into a 8.5 x 11 document, open Inspecter to Metrics, click to not constrain proportions, resize to fit then Export again as a PDF. The E-mail addresses will remain active. Here's screenshot of one with 61 rows, I made in less that 2 minutes as a mock-up. Links/E-mail still works.
Luck!

I am using a doc formatted on excel --- how do i resize the doc to fit on one page?

I am using a document that was formatted in excel (on a PC) --- how do i resize the document to print on one page?

Hi phylw,
Here is one way. View > Show Print View. At the bottom of the window is a slider control called Content Scale. Slide to the left to shrink the document.
Under File > Print... you will see a print preview that tells you how many pages the document now occupies.

Encore CS5 will Only Burn One DVD At A Time

Hello All , I am having a problem that I didn't have with CS4 ,If I set CS5 to burn more than one DVD it shows a hardware error after the first one , If I set CS5 to burn one DVD it works every time I only burn at 8X .This is not a major problem because it doesn't take much longer to burn them one at a time
but it would be nice to know why .
Regards
Kevin

Thank's for your suggestion but I have always set CS4 to burn say 10 DVDs and just change the media when prompted (only 10 days ago) in CS5 this doesn't work only the first one will burn , I am sure there is nothing wrong with my hardware is works flawlessly with all other software.
