How to burn movie files onto a disc for others to use not just watch?

Hi! I used my video camera to record my sister's wedding ceremony and other little clips throughout the day. I want to give her those files to use however she wants. I don't want to edit them or give them to her as a watchable DVD.
I want to be able to burn them onto a DVD-R and then she can upload them onto her computer and edit/manipulate them as she pleases.
Problem is, the ceremony video alone is 9.28 GB! How can I get her these files? Thanks!

Not if any single file is 4GB or larger; this is the size limit for FAT32 drives. The OP stated that one file was 9GB.
Good point - I've kept a small, portable drive formated with FAT32 to transfer an occasional small file to my PC friends.
Mac OS X 10.6.6 can read and write exFAT
Since not all my systems use Snow Leopard, exFAT isn't yet an option for me.

How do I move an entire app to a dual monitor? Not just a window?

How do I move an entire app to a dual monitor? Not just a window? I can drag single windows, but if I move a window to the second monitor and hit a button, like 'New', that opens a new window, then it opens the window in the first monitor. I want it to open in the second monitor instead.

Right. Mail remembers as well. I have the menubar set on my larger display, and the main Mail window on the MBP display. When I create a new message, it displays the composition window on whichever display I used the last time for composition. So after the first time I moved the composition window to the larger display, it always opens on that display. I can't remember if it remembers that behavior after taking the MBP on the road, where I use only its display, and then reconnect the second display back at home.

How do I move files onto a G4 with OSX 10.3.9?

Brethren,
I just gave my G4 Quicksilver to my fiancee and she is having trouble moving her laptop files onto it. She has a bunch of MP3's (songs you'd puke if you had to listen to) and jpegs (billions of them) but no streamlined way of moving the data...since the G4 Quicksilver doesn't have Migration Assistant. So, to summarize:
*origin computer: iBook G4 OSX 10.4.11*
*destination computer: G4 Quicksilver OSX 10.3.9*
I'm hesitant to shell out $116 for the Leopard upgrade but *is there any other way to move the data from laptop to desktop?*
Shank

Connect the computers with a FireWire cable, start up the iBook with the T key held down, and move the files over manually.

How do I get files onto scratch disc?

I seem to have FCP X set up so that it uses my scratch disc yet my main Mac drive keeps filling up as I work on projects. In the project hierarchy it shows the two drives that I have and my projects (events) are listed under my scratch disc. Anyone have any suggestions?

In FCP X, in the Event Library, the Action Menu at the bottom of it (looks like a gear), select "Group Events By Disk", and you can see what is on what hard drive.
In the Events Library, you can click and drag Events from one drive to the other. This is the safest way to do this, so that the internal database of the Event updates to reference the drive it's on.
Right click on a Project in the Project Library, and Copy it along with it's Events to the drive you want it on.
You can right click on Events and Projects to "Move to Trash", in order for the appropriate databases to update cross references.
Do everything inside of FCP X to be safe.

How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

Hello,
I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
I am using Windows 8 OS.
Thanks!

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

How to burn VOB files onto a DVD?

Hello everyone, I've seen this question asked in other forum postings, but I can't seem to find the specific answer I'm looking for. Basically, I have several VOB files that I want to burn onto a DVD that I can play in a regular DVD player. Can anyone please recommend any applications that would be good to do this? I appreciate any help and support I can get, thanks!

How to queue movie files to play after each other?

Hi,
I have home movies that I want to watch continually. I'm sick and tired of clicking on each file and playing it. I'd like to queue a selection of movies and just let them run one after another.
HOW do I do this? Help please!!
Thanks,
Chris.

A web search hasn't revealed any immediate obvious answers, suggesting queueing is not a feature QT (maybe different in the Windows version).
I am only familiar with the cumbersome method as outlined in [http://www.ehow.com/how4453086present-multiple-movies-same-quicktime.html] where you copy (if only temporarily) multiple movies into one long movie.
Use something like http://niceplayer.net/ , or as I said, iTunes should be able to do this in a playlist since it is the .mov format.

If I put the dics into my DVD Player, it plays just fine. If I insert it into a computer, it opens the disc like a memory stick or something: I can open the files, but it won't play via Macs DVD Player. Can I do something so Macs will recognize the disc as a Dvd?

Dragging files onto a disc

I have recently got a new lap top. This one is a MacBook Pro, my previous one was a Power Book.
With my power book, if I wanted to put a file onto a disc I would just drag it.
When I do this with this computer it only drags a thumbnail of the file, not the file itself and it's contents.
Please help!

Thanks very much for your reply.
Still confused though, I'm sorry.
I'm putting movies onto a DVD to burn.
With my powerbook, with each movie I dragged onto a disc the file would show up on there with the amount of MB / GB it had.
Once the disc capacity was full it would indicate that no other files could be added to the disc.
Now any file I drag on only has a thumb nail at 48KB, regardless of how big the actual file is.
Is the disc capacity filled as it is burned then?
Would I 'manually' look up the file size of each movie and add them up so I know how many can fit on the disc, or is there an 'automatic' way of knowing this as there was previously?
ETA. Oh, and just in case it makes a difference my Mac is a 10. 5.8, so not actually a 10 . 6

How do I upload files onto Pages on my iPad?

How do I upload files onto pages on my iPad?

You can email them to yourself and then open them in Pages by using the "open in" option in the mail app when you are viewing the attachment, you can use DropBox, or you can use iOS file sharing.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side of iTunes under "Devices" in order to select it. Click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right. Find the Pages App in the list of File Sharing apps under the main list of apps and click on it. Then drag the files from your desktop that you want to move into the document sharing window on the right - next to the the Pages app. You can also use the Add button and navigate to the documents that way to select them. Sync your iPad if you choose to do so and then eject it when the sync completes.
Launch the Pages app and then click on the + in the upper left corner to add a document. Select - Copy from iTunes and a window will pop up with a list of all of the documents that you dragged into the window on the computer when the iPad was connected to iTunes. Select the document from there.
This article explains if for you as well.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.

Burning wma files onto cd

I have some large wma files on my mac created by an Olympus digital voice recorder. I'm able to play them through Windows Media Player for Mac. I would like to:
1) burn the files onto a cd playable either on a Mac or a PC. I did burn a cd on the mac, but my pc at work doesn't even recognize the cd,
and/or
2) create an audio cd with these files playable on any cd player.
Olympus support wasn't helpful, so I'd appreciate any suggestions here. Many thanks!

Thanks for your replies. FYI, here's how the problem was resolved:
1) I was able to create a cd playable on both a Mac and a PC simply by burning directly in Finder and not in Disk Utility. I also used a "music cd-r" disk instead of a regular cd-r (I don't what the difference is, actually, or if it really mattered).
2) I downloaded EasyWMA for $10, converted a wma file into one playable through iTunes, and burned an audio cd from there. Unfortunately each of my voice recorder files (recordings of classes) runs for 2 hours and an audio disk with the converted files holds only 80 minutes of material, so it wasn't really worth going through that process. If anyone knows of a way of fitting more on an audio cd, I'd be interested.
Thanks.

Burning files onto a dvd for backup

I used to be able to backup selected files, libraries, etc. by creating a burn folder, dragging selected items into it (which would create aliases of the selected items in the burn folder), and then burning the folder onto a disc.
This method no longer works. Best I can do now seems to be to insert a disc, and then drag the selected items with the option key down in order to copy them onto the disc icon, and then burn the disc. This takes more time than the old method, because you have to wait for the selected items (some of which are big) to copy onto the icon before the burning process can begin. Am I missing something??
Thanks!

Why do you think it isn't working?
If in a Finder window you select File->New Burn Folder and add things to that folder what happens?
Once I created a burn folder I dragged to to the sidebar to make it easier to access then added flies to it. Alias to the files were created in the burn folder.
