How many GB on 60minute Mini DV tape

just wondering how many GBs of info there is on a 60 minute mini dv tape.
I ask this because i imported about 40mins of (very boring) footage into imovie. The resulting project in the time line was about 7GB. As i wanted to put the footage on a single layer 4.7 GB DVD i foresaw probs. Unless Wheen u export to idvd the size of the original file decreases...?
Sorry that i've asked many questions in one post and that its a bit messy, but any answers would be very helpful.
Thanks
Tony

Hi Anthony - about 12 GB per hour of video. You can place max 120 minutes of iMovie footage onto a single layer DVD - actually a little less than that as IDVD themes etc takes space too. Yes, iDVD compresses the material into MPEG format.

    Thanks - that's what I am worried about.
    The 2010 MBPro is a different version when it comes to the Mini DisplayPort because the 2009 MBPro doesn't transmit audio ony video whilst the 2010 MBPro does both.

  • How many users on Mac Mini Server?

    Good morning,
    Apple's recent changes to the Mac Mini line have thrown a wrench in a project plan I've been working. One part of the project needs a quad-core computer (FileMaker Server) and so I'm having to either search for an older model or switch up to a Mac Pro.
    The other part of the project involves bringing a Mac-based server in for directory and user services, including mail.  I had planned to use the high-end Mac Mini Server but that option was removed. The office I'm supporting is about 15 people (usually a little less on the network) and most of their work will actually be done against the other computer running the FileMaker Server-based application. I was not expecting a big load against the Mac Mini Server. But these changes got me wondering, what are others' experiences with Mac Mini as a server for 12-15 people? I'm happy with qualitative and quantitative data, but I would like to know which is which. In general:
         For how many users have you provided directory and user services (built in to the OS) using a single Mac Mini?
         What were the specs of the Mac Mini (year or model, speed, CPU config, RAM)?
         Other thoughts?
    In essence, I need to understand if people have successfully used dual core processors as Mac Mini servers in environments of 12-15 people. I've done it using a 2012 Mac Mini Server with 5-6 and the loading seems to support further growth, but would like real-world experience.
    Thanks.

    Dutch Apple employee told me that Mac OS X 10.6 Server has also Windows Terminal Services equivalent.
    But this is not !
    Not yet (?) available in Snow Leopard Server.

  • How many user accounts on one computer?

    I did search but found nothing directly relevant. We have one laptop with one administrator account. How many user accounts besides mine am I allowed?
    Thanks in advance :o)

    Ah good, 10 or less will work for sure then.
    More than one account can be logged in at a time? How does that work?
    In System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on Login Options, at the bottom enable Fast User Switching.
    Sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen maybe?
    Maybe the opposite!
    If you have enough RAM & HD Free Space it allows others to use the Mac without you quitting all your work, and it keeps things separate. Great if you have young ones using it because you can make managed accounts & control which APPs they can use & other things... and without them destroying your data.

  • How many times can you upgrade your ipad mini?

    i have the ipad mini, and i would like to know, how many times you can upgrade? reason being the 3rd gerantion ipodtouch only upgrades once. for an ipad mini can i upgrade more than once, because it would be fair

    There is no limit to the number of times an iPad can get an iOS update. Eventually though the iOS will evolve beyond the capabilities of the specific iPad. Tis is already the case for the original iPad. That iPad can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1 and no further. So far all iPads after that continue to receive updates when Apple releases them.

    If you purchased AppleCare + within 30 days of getting your iPhone 5 you are allowed 2 instances of breakage replacement with a $49 deductible. If you do not have AppleCare + accidental breakage is not covered under you warranty, you can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $229.

  • How many firewire drives can I daisy chain on the mac mini

    How many firewire g-drives can I daisy chain on my mac mini

    From personal experience, if they are bus powered portable drives,
    the answer is none.  For what ever reason, they are draw a lot of
    power and are probably near the edge of the bus powering specs.
    Then again, these were the fastest of all the portable FW drives that
    I have (Iomega and Seagate being the others), which may have
    something to do with it.
    I had also noticed an issue with them even with USB.  Plugging one
    into the Mini or even a powered USB hub would be fine, but 2 would cause
    both to be inaccessible, unless I used a couple of USB "Y" cables
    that would distribute the power across other ports.
    If they are externally powered, you could string a bunch.

  • How to import mini dv tape as one clip?

    I am trying to backup some old mini dv tapes.  When I import from fcpx it splits the clips into individual files each time there's a scene change.  I don't want this to occur and would like just one long clip to be recorded.  How do I do this?  Is there a way to stop fcpx from splitting clips?
    Any help would be great appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Thanks Andy for giving the time and energy to try and solve this.  I really appreciate it.
    The sorting option is new to me so thanks for telling about that (I've just downloaded the 30-day trial version of FCPX last  night to hopefully address this one single issue that iMovie cannot do so I am totally new to FCPX but it's pretty intuitive especially being familiar with iMovie. This is my first and only version of FCP and will likely buy it if it can help me with this one huge hurdle). 
    There are several configurations that can be tried for both "Group Clips By" and "Arrange Clips By" but I was unable to find the right combination for both categories to give me the results I need.  Perhaps I've not done this correctly and all I need is the right coaching for what both settings should be at.
    I'm not sure exactly what you are asking about for the Inspector view information.  I will try to attach an image of my screen.  It appears that each clip has the label of what day it was shot and what time.  The Master video however has clips arranged completely out of chronological order and so there lies the problem.  Perhaps you were asking about something else though and I'm just not sure what it is.
    THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME YOUR THOUGHTS!  It's kind of impossible to find help on this or a complete definitive answer so your time is very much appreciated.  If you travel to McCall, Idaho for a ski trip I will buy you a lunch or copious amounts of microbrewed beer.

  • How do I transfer mini dv tapes from a Sony videocamera to my macbook?

    How do I transfer mini dv tapes from a Sony videocamera to my macbook?  Issues are: my macbook has no hdmi port, no firewire port, and Sony does not support streaming USB between its mini dv tapes and Macs.
    Only available ports on my macbook
    I've been told I need an "external firewire capture card" to basically give my mac some semblance of firewire ability.  But no one so far can tell me definitively 1) what product to purchse and 2) that it actually works.
    I have had some tapes converted by Costco to dvd but those do not work - they are in an uneditable dv format.  I want to import the tapes to digital format in order to edit and create new video from them.
    Thanks!

    If you have tried all the Google search suggestions including the YouTube tutorials, then it's time to contact Sony tech support.  Or post in the iMovie forum area.

  • SP500 tape library - how many server/SAN FC interfaces do I need?

    How many server or FC switch interfaces do I need to connect SL500 FC tape library? Let's say we have two FC tape drives installed. Does it mean I need to reserve 3 FC interfaces (one for robot and one for each drive)? Or there is some kind of internal hub/switch which permits to use one FC port to connect them all in a way which is implemented in SL48 library?

    Hello,
    if one VMWare host should run more then 2 VMs you need a Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition (unlimited versions from Windows VMs on the host) from Windows or 7 Windows Standard licenses (max. 14 VMs).
    Keep in mind that processors count into the license requirements.
    "...using VMware for high availability..."
    This means that you should have at least 2 VMWare hosts which have the RAM and processors to run in caseof hardware problem from the other host ALL VMs.
    So you are now need at least 2 Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter licenses or 14 Standard editions.
