Huge iDVD archived files

I encoded an iMovie project with iDVD 5. The iMovie DV files are about 7GB, and iDVD can perfectly fit them onto a 4GB DVD. I decided to save the project with the "Archive Project" option with the encoded files. Why does the estimated size to archive the project is over 24GB???

Alxalx,
An Archived project (withe encoded files) contains both the encoded and unencoded versions of all your movies and songs, etc.
So if you have a 7GB movie and the encoded version is 4 GB, you have at least 11GB plus some extra.
The iMovie DV files are about 7GB
Is this the combined size of the iMovie files? Or how many do your have?
If you just want to be able to make copies (but no more edits) you can "Save as Disk Image" This saves the final encoded product only, but cannot be edited/changed and will only be 4GB or smaller.

Re-ripping an iDVD creation back into an archive file

Hi,
I created a DVD using iDVD, and have since lost the archived project file. I know I can rip the DVD's contents back onto my computer in case I want to re-burn another copy, but was wondering if there's a way to rip the DVD so that it can become an iDVD archive file where I could easily modify the file (change audio, modify titles etc).
I'm guessing the answer is no, but maybe someone has figured out a way to do that. Thanks in advance.

Hi, DannyG,
You don't have to rip a DVD content to burn another copy. Just insert the burned DVD disk you have, and use Disk Utility (applications/utilities) to create a disk image file and then use that to burn more DVD disks. You will not lose any quality this way.
The disk image file is a self-contained file that cannot be edited, but it makes a great backup and you do not have to save all the original media used in your iDVD project. You should be making disk images of all your iDVD projects...you do it from within the iDVD project selecting 'Save as Disk image' while you still have the iDVD project available.
If you mean that you want to edit the media--photos, iMovies--used in a DVD that you have created, you can rip its contents, but you will lose some quality because the media has to be compressed when you burn it to DVD, has to be uncompressed to rip it to iMovie for editing, and then recompressed to burn to DVD again. But, if it is important to re-edit, you can extract the footage using Handbrake, Ripit or MPEG Streamclip. The first two you must purchase, Streamclip is free, but you may need to purchase Apple's Quicktime Component for $20.
If, however, you mean that you might want to change some of the titles and audio of the iDVD project itself, not the media used in it, you would have to recreate the iDVD project. That data would not be extractable from the files within the project. If you no longer have the original media used in the project, you would then have to extract the media files as above and put those into the new iDVD project, and then create an archive file of that project.

Moving iDVD archive to new MacBook show movie not authorized

I just bought I MacBook Pro and I have an older iMac. I'm trying to transfer an iDVD archive project from the iMac to the MacBook so I can burn the DVD (my older iMac don't have a DVD burner). I was able to create an iDVD archive and copy it to my MacBook. However, when I try to load the movie it says my computer is not authorized to play a movie purchased on iTunes.
1. I have authorized the MacBook with the same iTunes account and verified I share the same iTunes library.
2. The 'movie' was not purchased on iTunes. It is a slide show of family photos.
3. iDVD keeps prompting me to enter my iTune ID and password, which I enter each time, but when I try to burn the DVD it says the DVD map has errors. I checked the map and again it prompts me for my iTunes account for my personal movie file.
I tried deauthorizing the MacBook then reauthorizing but to no avail? What am I doing wrong?

Archived file too big for DVD

Hello
I have created an archive file that looks to be 7.4 GB - obviously too big to fit on one DVD. Is there a way to put this file onto TWO DVD's, or do I have to try and make two files that are smaller in order to put them on DVD?
It doesn't look like the archive file is much smaller than the originals put together - there was an M4V (iPod movie - 163 MB), a disk image of the same (iDVD - 1.77 GB) and the original file from iMovie (6.6GB). I'm afraid that even if I split them up into two files, I won't be able to get the iMovie file onto one disk just by itself!
I really want them on a disk rather than an external hard drive - at the rate my son is making these movies, I'll have no space left really soon! Please help! Thanks.

"SuperDrive" is just Apple's term for their internal DVD writers. In the last couple of years, SuperDrives have been updated with DL-burning capability.
A "regular" single-layer DVD has around 4.7GB of capacity, which roughly translates to 90 minutes of video.
Commercial movie DVDs have long used the DL format, meaning that they can fit twice the length of video onto the disk. You will specifically need "DVD +R DL" disks to record this amount of data. Apple sells them, but you should also find them at good office stockists.
DVD players/readers can read both formats.

Files/Clips from old iDVD image files

I am an underwater photographer and I have a number of older projects that I created in FCP/iDVD. I have the iDVD image files, but not the original MOV files, as they were huge and were deleted to save space.
I would like to create a compilation DVD that has all of the old disks combined into one.
Any way to extract the clips from the image files and drop them into a new project. They are already rendered to the the DVD format.
Thanks in advance, David

Frank's reply is correct but a little lacking in detail!
You will need to re-edit the files in iMovie in order to make it one single project.
You first need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

How to Manage Archive Files in Oracle 10g

Dear all
I have 10g Database server running in Archive Mode, there are huge number of archive files have been increased ,
(1) how can i find old and obsoleted Archive files that will not be needed for recovery in future.so that i can delete them inorder to free space.
(2) How to manage Archive Files .
Kindly help
Thanks
Regards
Farnaw

Hello,
(1) how can i find old and obsoleted Archive files that will not be needed for recovery in future.so that i can delete them inorder to free space.It depends on your Backup policy.
If you use RMAN you can follow the advices previously posted, if you use "user managed" Backup then, you don't need the
log files archived before the begining of the last full backup of your database.
To know when the archived log was generated and the first change included in it, you can query the v$archived_log as follow:
alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
select recid, name, first_change, first_time, completion_time
from v$archived_log;
(2) How to manage Archive Files . You must backup the archived logs so as to be able to apply them. After making a safe backup of them on a tape, they can be
deleted from disk.
Of course you can also keep the last archived logs on your disk (beside of backup them on tape) so that you don't have to
restore them and save time if you need them.
It depends on your needs and the free space you have.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Burning iDVD project files

I'm trying to free up hard disk space by bruning iDVD project files (.dvdproj) to a DVD-R.
When I tried doing this the files would not open. There was an error message that said - not writable.
I tried to first archive the files as Archived.dvdproj and I checked read/write permissions, but I still get the same error message.
Is there a way to burn these files to DVD-R and have them available to open in the iDVD edit window the same as they were on my hard drive.
Photoscene

I'll try to be more specific. This was an iPhoto slideshow that was exported to iDVD.
I was able to delete the 10 megapixel .jpeg files from the Finder, the images from iPhoto, the QuickTime file, the iDVD.img file, and the Audio.Sd2f file (Roxio).
The Roxio audio file was needed to combine three music tracks into one file so that iPhoto could export them to iDVD.
Deleting the project saved 3GB of hard disk space.
The only files left were the four .aiff files in iTunes.
After this the Archived.dvdpoj file still opened in the iDVD edit window and played all the way through. From there it was burned to a CD-R, saving 400 MB of space.
I double checked the CD-R by copying the Archived.dvdproj file on to the desktop a second time and it works as it should.

Unable to get Field Names from Archived File

Hi All,
We have a ECC 6 Ehp4 system. When i retrieve Idocs archived using SARA, the data only contains application data. There is no field names available - eg: posting date, tax code etc. Please find below the background on this issue.
I configured archiving of process idocs (status 52,12,03) from EDIDC tables. I set up the settings for Archive Object IDOC and archived the data for 15 days.
Both archiving and deletion of data from the table was successful.
I tried reading the Idoc data from Archive File using the Information System option -> Info structure (available as default for Idoc).
But the data retrieved only shows the Application data for all the segments of the IDoc. The fields for the segments like Tax Code, Posting Date etc are not available in the data. Functional teams will not be able to make sense with just the application data.
Am I missing some setting? Is there any way to retrieve the related field values also ?
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Raghavan

Hi All,
There is tcode WE10. You could choose if the data source is archive and also the archive session. You will get the list of segments provided. click on the segment number and you will get the data.

Problem in Archiving File From FTP Server to XI File Server Using FCC

Hi,
The scenario is file to IDOc. XI has to read the input file from client FTP server and archive it to XI local file server. Archiving on XI server is working fine without FCC (for xml files). But with FCC, the sender FTP adapter is archiving empty files (0 kb files).
I've checked SXMB_MONI, even there I can see the file data and the IDoc is getting posted with proper data. But, the archived file is empty. Not sure about the problem.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Hi,
File adapter has the functionality which support the empty file handling.
Handling of Empty Files
Specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled.
○ Do Not Create Message
No XI messages are created from empty files.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.
○ Process Empty Files
XI messages are created with an empty main payload.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
○ Skip Empty Files
No XI messages are created from empty files.
Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.

Had to uninstall Firefox, now I can't reinstall. Get error message "Can not find archive file." Please help!

I believe I had some kind of virus attack. I got everything cleaned up. (I HOPE) In the process of cleaning the virus, I unintalled Firefox because it wouldn't open. Kept getting the error message that Firefox was already open and I had to close out of the sessions or restart the computer. After restarting the computer several times and not being able to find any open sessions in task manager, I uninstalled. When trying to reinstall, I get the error message "can not find archive file." I've tried downloading Firefox from cnet as well as the Mozilla site to no avail. Please help. I'm getting tired of using Chrome already!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

PI 7.30: OS command on AIX to archive files on FTP does not work

Dear experts,
Our PI system runs on an AIX server.
I have a scenario PI --> FTP. I also need to archive files in a seperate folder on the FTP.
I have been following thread:
Read or Write File On FTP server based on another file existence.
After file processing in the Audit Log in RWB I among others I get the information:
Execute OS command "sh /usr/sap/SYS/flex/batches/archive.sh file.zip /ftpfolder/file.zip"
It seems it is working properly.
The file itself gets processed to the "ftpfolder". But in the archive folder I do not get a copy of that file.
My script looks like this:
#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n -v <<%%EOF%%
open ftpserver
user myuser mypassword
prompt
asci
cd archivefolder
mput $2
bye
%%EOF%%
In the file receiver I have "Run OS command after message processing":
"sh /usr/sap/SYS/flex/batches/archive.sh %f %F"
%F stands for the complete path, right? So if I say "mput $2" in my script it should use %F.
Could you please help me out here. I really don't know what the problem could be.
Thank you and best regards,
Peter

hi Peter,
>>>I have a scenario PI --> FTP
but FTP does not support OS command as far as I remember
correction:
"Note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine."
please check for details:

How do I restore addresses from archive file or time machine without iCloud overriding?

I recently had an issue with my address book contacts. About 90% of the contacts disappeared, then synched through iCloud to my iphone and ipad.....so nearly all my contacts were lost on all devices. I have both time machine and an address book archive file.
When I tried restoring from time machine, the iCloud synching saw it as an older version of the file and went to the deleted contacts version....i.e. I was right back where I started.
When I tried importing from the address book archive, the same thing happened.....iCloud saw the imported version as an older copy of the contacts file and deleted out everything I had just imported.
The only way I was able to get the contacts back was to go to time machine (with address book application open), select all the contacts, copy them, cancel out of time machine, and then paste the contacts into the current version of address book.....I guess the system sees that as a "new" version of the contact and doesn't overrite it. Problem is that it doesn't carry over all the different groups that way, and I have to move addresses into the groups all over again....kinda time consuming.
Any ideas on how to import from archive or restore from time machine (the normal way) without iCloud synching overriding the "older" and desired version of the file? Address book doesn't have any option to "override current contacts with imported ones".....
Thanks.

Try this:
Turn off your internet connection completely: check it's really off.
Import your backup into Address Book.
Select all your contacts.
From the File menu choose Export>vCard and save the file somewhere convenient.
Now turn the internet connection back on. Your contacts will disappear from Address Book again.
From the File menu choose 'Import' and select the file you exported to.
Hopefully this contacts list will stay in place: wait until it's synced to iCloud and check that it's on the website and syncs to your Phone.

Hi again
Official doc about export resource: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_srm.htm#CFHDJBAC
Official doc about Skin as Portal Resource: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_skin.htm#BAJFAHFG
You have to put your path + file name to export your ear file.
If you don't see your created file in the path that you configured then see Messages - Log of JDeveloper if you have permission problems to write.
Regards.
PD: Sorry i mistake talking about .mar file instead of EAR file

Huge iDVD archived files
