How to break up long movie

I have a video that is about 6 hrs in length and 10 chapter markers. I will compress as Mpeg-2 and author in dvd studio pro.
I am assuming this will not fit on 1 disk and was wondering what would be the best way to break this up and get on multiple disks.
thanks for the help.

Is this an art exhibit?
Or torture by video.
Sometimes hard to tell the difference.

Still, Andy Warhol's 25 hour movie ★★★★ (aka Four Stars) still holds the record.

How to break down long lines of code

Is there a way to break a long line of code so that it will fit on an A4 sheet?

You can break on most dots between variable name and method name, between spaces in operators, after a comma that separates parameter names, etc. Just about the only thing you can't break is a long literal String--though you could type it on multiple lines by breaking it into pieces and putting a + in between the pieces.

How to break a long project in 3 smaller timelines and assembling them back

Hi,
I'm presently working on a big project (a 90 min long documentary). I took advantage of tips from other user to speed up FCPX but now I'm at a point where I fell in need of a radical switch to give breath to my mac (btw I just switched to a new iMac with 16gb of Ram)
I've been wondering about an advice which was gave me from Russ H on this forum: I'm presently at minute 60, he suggested me to create another timeline for the last 30 min.
I think I have to go further ahed, I need to break the exisiting timeline in two, so to have two 30min long TL. And then I have to create a third TL with the last 30 min.
Here we go with my questions: 1) to have new timelines I need to create/duplicate projects? Or I can just associate more timelines to the same one?
2) If not I think I have to duplicate my project three time and then cutting the 30'min segment which I don't need to be in that project...and then of course I have to start building my third edit in the third 30min TL
3) Here is the point which make me worried the most...At the end of my work how can I put everything back togheter? Is there any "merge TL" function? I should just export 3 masterfile and then assemble them? I should just put the 3 file on XDCAM disc as clip to be playied in a row?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Nico

As I recall, the suggestion to create separate projects was one of several to address increasingly sluggish performance as your project grew in length. The idea was that by opening and working on shorter timelines, you would place less of a processing burden on your machine.
Now that you have a newer, more powerful iMac, it may not be necessary to break up that project.
If you still think it is desirable to break up the project, I would stay within the existing library and create a new project for the last part of the doc. If you are still working on the first 60 minutes section and you want to work in smaller projects, create two more empty projects. Then select two sections of the original and paste them to the new projects' timelines. When you have finished all three sections, create a fourth project and paste copies of the three into it.
There is no merge timeline command, but copy paste is pretty bullet proof. Click in the timeline window to make it active. Hit Command-A to select all; Command -C to copy, Open the empty project and hit Command-V to copy. Just make sure that your playhead is at the last frame of the sequence before you paste any more sections into the "omnibus" timeline and it should go quite smoothly.

How to process a long movie in iMovie?

I have a 28 min movie in Imovie, that I have had no problem processing once, but can't seem to do it again. I am turning it into an mp4 file when I process, because it doesn't want to go through straight to YouTube either. I have already edited the movie down into short segments of 2 minutes, and it still is freezing not even halfway through. I need HELP!! my computer is running slow, so I ran first aid on it, but ever since it has not been able to process a complete movie. WHAT DO I DO????

Hi
And the free space avail. on the Start-Up (Macintosh HD) also play an important role.
For interlaced SD-Video Quality (as on old fat TVs) - I never go less than 25Gb free space (per hour Video)
For HD - about 4 - 5 times more
If strange Video-Codecs - that might need lot's of conversions to be used - then multiply with 2 - 3 times more and Hope.
I make the conversion of raw material first outside iMovie to make things easier.
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
• No File Vault on - Important
• NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
• Lot's of icons on DeskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
• Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
• And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

[SOLVED] How To Break Up Long Statement In Bash Script?

Hello Everyone,

That works too. I didn't know that grep could be used that way. Thanks.

How do I split long movies into 10 minute segments to upload to photo bucket?

I have a 33 minute movie in imovie that I want to upload in 10 minute segments to photobucket.com. Can someone tell me the easiest way to do this? Thanks.

The Scene Detect in the media area is gone by Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1. But, you can right click the video's thumbnail in Organize/Media, select Run AutoAnalyzer which claims to be "detecting scenes". The latter is worth a try to see what it will do with your 3.5 min clip and its scenes.
Regarding the quality of your videos in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 editing and export, we would need lots more information on that
a. properties of the source media (video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio).
b. what project preset you are setting for the project so that the project preset matches the properties of the source media
c. types of edits
d. choice of export and export settings, customized or default settings used
e. computer or TV DVD or Blu-ray player.
Please review, supply the requested information, and then we will plan troubleshooting strategy. Also, we would need some idea of your computer environment - Windows or Mac 32 or 64 bit version...
Lots ot put together.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

Dividing a long movie into a 2 part dvd

Learning DVD Studio Pro I am having trouble figuring out how to divide a long movie into a 2 disc dvd. The movie is 1 hour and 40 minutes. Is it as simple as dividing the movie into 2 separate DVD Studio Pro projects, each with its own separate menus and menu buttons for chapter markers?
I want to avoid the dual layer disc method, as it causes too many problems for burning.
Thanks.

On a standard DVD 5 disc (single layer), you actually only have about 4.3gb of space to work with even though they're sold as 4.7gb discs.
The size of the encoded .m2v file is dependent on two factors; the length of the program and the bit rate used during the encoding process. The lower the bit rate, the smaller the file. Of course, lower bit rates sacrifice quality. But if your program has little motion (a seminar or talking head type of program for example), you can use a relatively small bit rate without losing much quality since there is little change from frame to frame. Conversely, a program with a lot of movement will require a relatively high bit rate to maintain good quality since so much information changes from frame to frame.
Normally I use Compressor to handle the encoding so I have full control over the various parameters of both the video and audio encoding ... I don't really trust DVD-SP to get it right.

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

HT201611 how can i cancel a movie that i rented but is taking too long to download?

How can I cancel a movie we ordered but is taking way too long to download?

Netflix and similar services adapts to the connection. iTunes content is at a fixed rate and higher quality, a portion needs to load before playback begins. If it starts and then buffers throughout its because you don't have a stable network connection. ISP throttling can also be something to consider
You can see your network status by getting a report istumbler, netstumbler oor similar. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks. Make sure router is up to date. You can also test on another network.
Rentals are playing within 5 seconds, and without issue, on my system and for most

If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

How do I put short Iphone movie clips into one long movie?

What's the best method to take short little movie clips from my Iphone and splice them together into one long movie without using video quality?
I have Imovie so if I use it, will I lose video quality? I've been told that Imovie 08' only imports every other line of resolution when I capture Digital Video. Does it do the same for Iphone videos?
I tried to use Final Cut Express already but when I exported the video and then viewed it in Itunes it looked quite a bit worse than the originals.
Thanks for any help.
Ehren

I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

How do you break up a movie that you have already created in iMovie 08.

Hi. I created a lengthy movie using iMovie 08, and I realize that I want to break it up into pieces so that I can take advantage of chapters in iDVD. The movie is a collection of hundreds of short videos and photographs, matched to music. I cannot see any way to break up the movie. I also cannot see any way to cut and paste the portions of the movie, without doing it one video/photo at a time, nor can I figure out a way to select large selections of the movie to copy them over to a new project.
Insights or suggestions will be very welcome

In iMovie 08, the source footage is in the EVENT file. The PROJECT file is basically a text file which contains pointers to the event file including in and out points, pointers to the music, transitions, titles etc. Project files are not very large. However, once you share (or render) your project, a copy of the finished movie is also stored in the project file. This is typically much smaller than the event file, because it is in h.264 compression.

How do I make multiple movies look like one?

I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
small flash animation. The final published flash file is
approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
(to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
multiple movies look like one?
Thank you.

Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
next movie?
