How much video on a dvd

I have a 2 hour project shot on HDV 60i. I would like to be able to get the whole thing on one DVD. Is there anyway I can do this and what work flow would I need to take. So far I have exported my sequence from Avid Express Pro as a Ref file and imported straight into iDVD to do the encode. I tried a 5 minute piece doing this and it looked great. Unfortunately trying to import 2 hours exceeds the disc space. Is there any other settings I maybe able to use. Any help would be appreciated.

A few users on this forum have reported success in going a tad over the 2 hr. limit on SL but only by a few minutes max and also by limiting motion menus, slideshows, etc. Frankly I'd prefer using Toast's Fit to Disc if I were limited to a SL DVD-R as opposed to DL media.

How Much Video Can Fit on a DVD Burned in Encore???

Hi there,
I'm hoping the always helpful adobe community can help me with a question I've had for a while. I am using Adobe Production Suite CS4 and frequently making DVDs in Encore. I am filming with a Canon XH-A1 camera, capturing with HDV Split, and importing the footage into premiere where it is recognized as being .M2T files and 1440x1080.
I am wondering how much video I can dynamic link into Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality? Is there someway to tell within Encore, or is there a rule of thumb on which to go by? How about for Blu-Rays?
Also, given the answer to the question above, is there a way to make longer DVDs while maintaining the same high quality - such as with Dual-Layers? I don't know much about Dual Layers or much on this topic in general, so any info would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

>Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality?
There is no such thing as 100% quality when you go from HD to the SD that is on a DVD
Read the Tutorial HD to SD w/CS4 http://bellunevideo.com/tutorials/CS4_HD2SD/CS4_HD2SD.html for ideas
As to how much you may fit at "high" quality... that all depends on the subject matter
A soccer game with a lot of fast action will require a higher bitrate setting and take more space than a speaker standing still at a podium
There is no one answer
Yes, you may fit more on a dual layer DVD... I think that is discussed in the user guide
The individual CS5 pages also have links to the CS4 user guide pages

How much video on a finished DVD total?

I'm authoring my first DVD and I don't know how much video each DVD can hold. I'm putting together a seminar that is 18 hours of total video.
How much compressed video can each DVD hold?
On one of the DVD's I plan a slideshow of some 40 pics. The rest of the DVD's will contain video only.
thanks!

Depends on how you compress the footage.
http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_7.php discusses how to calculate the rates
The rates also depends on the type of footage, talking head type video can still look good with lower rates, while race cars will usually be better with higher rates.
Kind of broad stroke - in general 2 to 2 1/2 hours or so can usually look good on a single sided DVD-R but it varies. 2 Should usually be easy to do
There were some threads awhile back discussing all possible ways to squeeze the most onto a disc
One was here and Hal has some good info

How much video footage can be in movie for Best Quality

I made an IMovie with about 1 hour of video and exported it to IDVD. I added a slideshow with about 150 photos and music - about 15 minutes long. When I went to burn it to a DVD - it would not allow best quality. Why?
Is there a limit to how much video can be procesed as Best Quality?

iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

How can I tell what video card and how much video memory does my iMac have?

How or where can I find out: which video card does my iMac have and how much video memory does it have? I've tried looking in System profiler, but I did not see it there. Thank you.

Once you open System Profiler there should be a line called "memory" which is the RAM (vs. hard drive size which is not what is called memory), e.g., Memory: 1.5 GB
For video click on the line Graphics/Displays and look at the chipset line, e.g., Chipset Model: GeForce2 TwinView
Kappy's instructions are handy for checking the original configuration of your computer, but that may have been changed at some time, especially if you bought it secondhand.

Size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file?

I'm making an AIR app to play a video locally. It is on a PC with no internet connection, so the video (fv4) is included with the air install file. Is there a size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file? I seem to get the "...file is damaged..." error when I include a video over 200mb. I use Flash CS4 to create and AIR is v 1.53.

I'm authoring in CS4 on a MAC with the latest OS and 4GB ram. It plays fine on the Mac. On a WIN7 PC with all updates and 4GB ram I get the errors if the air file that contains a video file over 200mb. I heard that AIR 2 should solve the issue and that it is just a PC issue.. Maybe... I have not tried using ADT to package the file.

How much video record time do I have on iphone6

how much video record time do I have on iPhone 6

Your basic limitation is how much free storage space is left on the phone (found in Settings / General / Usage). How much time does each GB equate to depends on how you are shooting. The i6 shoots at 30 fps by default but can be set to do so at 60 fps. Plus you can shoot at regular speed or slow motion. Unfortunately, Apple does not publish exact specs on the device manual, so you'll have to do some test shots and see how much they take and extrapolate from that.
BTW, the iPhone 6/6+ manual is found here (or you can download it for free in the iBooks app)

How much video time will a 32gb ipad air record? (in 1080p)

How much video (time) should fit on standard DVD?

Importing from VHS to iMovieDVD then "sharing" to iDVD to Burn to Disc.
What should my expectations be regarding amount of video on one DVD? It looks like 1 hour of video will fit on the DVD (4.2gb).
The specs on the DVD says I can record 2hrs at SP but didn't seem to have an option to select prior to iDVD burning to disc.
Would like to get at least 2 hours on one disc since I'm only archiving video and highest quality is not a requirement.
Thanks

Welcome to discussions:)
Question 9: How much material can a single DVD disc hold?
Answer: A DVD-R disc can hold about 4.7 GB. This allows up to 120 minutes of high-quality video to fit on a DVD.

How much time to burn DVD?

How long should it take to burn a DVD from a disk image? I have a project that is 30 minutes long, which played back just fine when viewed from disk image. The log shows:
Preparing data for burn
Opening session
Opening track
Writing track
Closing track
Closing session
It all looks good, except that "Closing Session" has been going on for almost two hours. I have not gotten any error messages; the only thing that the progress bar shows is the moving striped pattern.
I am using TDK disks (I know that is not one of the recommended brands) and am burning at 2X. I have used this successfully before and do not remember it taking anywhere so long. Should I quit the process and try another disk?

This is what "More info" shows under "disk burning". There was no listing of "s-drive".
SONY DVD RW DW-U10A:

1. Try playing a commercial dvd. Does it play exactly as expected under apple's dvd player app? If so ....
Titanic and _The King of Queens_ get rejected multiple times. They don't show up at all on the screen, and there is no error message. TurboTax loads quickly without a hitch.
2. Run apple's software updater if you haven't already and post which updates are recommended without installing them just yet. Let us take a look at the recommended updates prior to installation.
Here is the list. I have not downloaded any of the recommended updates because I was in the middle of working on the project that was being burned when this situation arose.
GarageBand Update 4.1.1
Keynote Update 4.0.2
Pages Update 3.0.2
Numbers Update 1.0.2
iWeb Update 2.0.3
Quicktime 7.5
iLife Support 8.3
Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 2.1
Safari 3.1.2
Security Update 2008-005 1.0
If your S-Drive or Burner is able to write to Dvd-R media but unable to read it then I suggest trying a quality dvd lens cleaner kit prior to calling apple's tech support.
Do you have a brand that you would recommend? Thank you for all your help.

How much video can be recorded on the new iPad?

What is the new iPad's video recording capacity?
Kal

A better question is to ask what the average data recording rate is. Based upon that you can calculate whatever limits you desire.
I've recorded a few short clips, in the neighborhood of 10-30 seconds, and from that and the resulting file size I calculate that 1080p recording requires roughly 2.8 MB/sec, or 168 MB/min, or 10 GB/hr.
You should be able to figure out whatever you need from that. Of course, these numbers are based upon the videos I've taken with my new iPad. YMMV.

I am going to Challenge my 3rd Endurance World Record "Unstoppable BMW Challenge" utilizing both the New Ipad and Iphone 4s and I want to ask how much Video recording space is used per minute on both the iphone4s and Ipad2 ?

Unstoppable BMW Challenge 2012
I dont yet own the Iphone 4s or the New Ipad hence the question. I would also like to ask what Iphone Apps would the community recommend as essential apps for a Herculeun Guinness World Record Challenge with a view to showcasing a video diary and picture diary whilst the challenge is underway.

Seems like you're just advertising and showing off rather than asking a question, but a 16 or 32 3GB iDevice would do for video recording.

How do I get good DVD output from FX7 footage?

I just videotaped a dance concert and when I transferred the video to my computer and output it to a DL DVD, the quality is nowhere near as good as a straight HDMI connection to a TV. It doesn't even look that good on the computer in Premiere elements before I output to DVD. I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 7. I don't know if it's the project settings for the transfer, I chose HDV 1080i 30. Is Premiere Elements maybe not going to give me what I want? My Camera is a Sony HDR-FX7
thanks,
Eric

I assume you are working with high definition video in a high definition project preset and burning as a standard DVD. How much video do you have on the DVD... for maximum quality (8Mbps with PE7) you are limited to a little over an hour for a SL DVD and 2 hours for a DL DVD. Any more footage and the bitrate will be reduced lowering the quality. If the quality is still poor you could try downconverting in the cam and capturing as DV-AVI and working in a standard definition project in PE7. Certainly in early versions of Premiere Elements this gave better quality
Other thing to consider is that your standard definition footage played on a DVD (which is a compressed format as well) is never going to look as good as the high definition video played over HDMI from the camcorder.
