I am having trouble with a video.  I have tried to copy it to a flash drive because it is too big to fit on a DVD, it says it is too large for the volumes format.  Please advise.

I have done many DVD's for seniors for graduation so I am familier with Imovie.  I have just finished a projec that is a combination of video, music and stills.  I shared it through idvd.  Now I can't burn it to a dvd because it is too large.  It is too big even for a two sided disk.  I have researched it and i find that blue ray would be big enough.  Does apple offer  blue ray burner?  if so, what is the cost?  I tried another route and took my external hard drive to copy it to a PC.  there computer wouldn't recongize my drive.  I am assuming it is because it is formated for apple.  I tired copying it to a flash drive and and it says that it can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format.  Suggestions?   PLEASE!!!!!

Could the video be too big because of using too high a resolution?   480p is sufficient for a DVD.  the thread at:

Apple does not support Blue ray - you have to use a thrid party application like Toast.
To transfer the video to a PC you need a FAT-formatted hard drive (or of course a sufficiently big memory stick).
You could also go via a network, via the cloud (eg Dropbox) or with 'Wetransfer" or similar.

  • How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies on to my thumb drive and WD My Passport external hard drive. My Mac keeps saying "can't be copy because it is too large for the volumes format

    How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

    [file] is too large for the volumes format
    That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
    Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

  • The item "Mam's Australian Adventure.mov" can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format

    I am attempting to tranfer a movie from my local hard drive to my WD 2TB HD and the comment on my screen is: The item “Mam's Australian Adventure.mov” can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume's format. Can you help me?

    How is your WD drive formatted? If FAT32 you have probably hit its file size limitation. Unless you are also running Windows, your external drive should be formatted as HFS Extended (Journaled).

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

  • Trying to copy a 10gb file to a memory stick but theres an error msg file to large for the file format of the stick. is there a way around this

    trying to copy a 10gb file to a memory stick but there's an error msg, file to large for the file format of the stick. is there a way around this

    If you use 'Disc Utility' you can format the stick (this will erase its contents) to be exFat which will still work with Mac and Windows but allow a larger file sizes to be placed onto the stick.
    Disc Utility > Click the drive on the left > Erase (tab) > Change format to ExFat > Erase > Try putting the file on to the stick again.

  • I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

  • The item  can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format

    i have a macbook pro and a external hard drive 1tb. the thing is i can not copy any file that is more than 4gb. i know that fat partiotion has restriction. How i can format my external hard drive so i can copy and paste file on it from windows and mac os?

    That is because the drive if formatted FAT32 and with a FAT32 formatted drive you can't store any file that is larger then 4GB (actually you can't store/save any file that is 4GBs. It has to be Slightly smaller then 4GB).
    So you need to format that drive with Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID or format it exFAT.
    exFAT if you plan on using that external on both Mac and Windows computers. Mac Extended (Journaled) if it will only be used on Mac computers.
    If you format it exFAT do that on a Windows computer as Mac screws up the formatting and it then can't be read on Windows computers. Doing it on a Windows computer it can be read and written to on both Win and Mac.

  • The file "" can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format

    I've come across this error whilst trying to transfer a 7 gigabyte file onto various hard drives. It is apparent that file sizes smaller than this can be transferred however there seems to be a problem with this. I've tried to use the help of various forums but I simply have to no clue what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Specs; Macbook Pro 13-inch, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, OSX 10.9.4

    You need to either segment the file or reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended, exFAT, or NTFS.

  • Having Trouble With 25fps Video in CS4

    Whenever I try to play something recording in a PAL format (1080p25 to be precise). I've had sure the preset is set on 1080p25 and I have no trouble playing the video on programs that aren’t Adobe Premiere. When I try to play it in Premiere it might stick on one frame for a few seconds, then show about 1 frame every 3 seconds, then maybe stop for another 7 seconds.
    Anything that’s in a NTSC framerate plays fine, but the only HD camera I have only records in 25p or 50i, so using 29.97fps isn’t an option. What’s going on here and what am I doing wrong?

    The camera is a Canon Legria HFM31. Not sure about the PC specs, it's a laptop my school provided. What do you need to know?
    Okay, I tried the same footage with (the godawful) Windows Live Movie Maker, and it's struggles to play the video for the first 10 seconds but after that I get a smooth frame rate and can pause, play, skip ahead, etc without any issues.
    I tried with an interlaced video, and its fine in Adobe Premiere! What's going on here? Does Adobe just not like PAL prog scan videos?

  • I am having trouble with a video program not connecting to my web cam. My computer is a 64 bit

    I am using My Video Talk suite to make videos. I have used it before with this computer and it worked fine. My computer is a 64 bit. I recently downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now my video suite does not recognize my web cam and I cannot produce any videos. My Video Talk works in 32 bit I believe.
    Do you have any answers to my problem?
