I have A large avi file but cant burn it in idvd

So i have an avi movie file, 802mb. I want to be able to burn this to a dvd and have it play in any dvd player. I really dont care about titles and such. Every time i open idvd i drag the movie under the menu then it says, "+Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window+." I go to the project info menu and reduce quality and it still wont work. It says I exceed the file limit. The movie length is 2:32:03 long. I have 108gb left on my mac HD. Is there another program, for free, out there that I can just drag and burn to play in any dvd player.

Hey,
I am having the same exact problem, my files sizes are supposedly ok but it give the same error message. Any luck? Please feel free to email me back or let me know what you had to do to get it working. I would really apprecaite it

I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Problem import large avi-files into iMovie '11

I have a large AVI-file, DV, from an old video camera that I want to import to iMove '11. The file is 10,37 GB but when I import it to iMovie only a few scenes is visible. Also, iMovie says the file is 4,71 GB.
How do I import the whole file?
Thanks

If you can convert the AVI movie back on the PC to Quicktime, this would be your best option. AVI files are limited to 4GB in size. To get around this limit, the AVI file might be referencing other smaller files on the PC. The AVI file format has been pretty much abandoned by Microsoft which now uses the WMV format.

HT3775 I am using OS X Mountain Lion and I have this .avi file but not able to read. What is missing in my setup and what other file do I need to download to enable me to read? I can read mp4 files though.

I agree that VLC is also a good choice but MPlayerX is more user friendly.

First, back up all data and then uninstall "DivX" according to the developer's instructions.
Then try this:

How to divide a large avi file

Hope that this is the appropriate forum for this. I have a large .avi movie file which will not fit onto a single DVD-R disc (4.7GB) when I try to use Toast for burning. Is there any simple way of dividing the file into two parts so that each part will fit onto it's own DVD disc?

You are absolutely correct. S & C does split the file into parts (I chose 2 of 350MB each for the avi file of 837.8MB) but adds an extra extension of the type .00a, .00b after the .avi extension. Then, with this weird extension, it is not recognized as a movie file. I did remove the extra extensions so that each part ended only with .avi (and had to make a change in the main name for each part so that they had different names) but curiously only the first part played perfectly as a movie but the second part did not - an error message appeared "not a movie file". Here I thought that dividing/splitting a file would be a simple thing to do but once again I'm foiled. I may just go out and purchase the newly released Western Digital HD Media Player which connects to a TV and takes its input from the computer via a USB storage drive. This way I transfer the avi file to a jump/flash/thumb drive from my computer and plug the drive into the WD Media Player which then displays the movie on TV. No discs/burning/file splitting, etc. to contend with. The reviews for the device are quite positive and it works for both PC and Mac. It is relatively inexpensive as well ($100-150).

I have an A0 ai drawing - but cant export as jpeg... any ideas?

I have an A0 ai drawing - but cant export as jpeg... any ideas?

I think you're probaly exceeding the size limit for that kind of export - I can't recall exactly what it is but that's a pretty big jpeg.
Can I just ask why you need to make such a large image file?

Can't Import large .avi file from digital camera into iPhoto 08

I have a digital camera with a 4GB SD card. I was shooting video and have several small .avi files on the card and one large .avi file (2.67 GB) on the same card. I did not have a problem importing the small files. iPhoto hung while trying to import the large file. I read in this forum that I should use Image Capture, which I tried. When I used Image Capture on the smaller files (just to see how it worked), my camera would flash while it was transferring. When I tried Image Capture on the large file, the camera did not flash and after about 20 minutes, there didn't seem to be anything going on with the transfer. I also tried an old card reader through Image Capture, and that didn't work either. Should Image Capture be able to handle this size file? Do you know of any way to break up the large file into smaller files on the SD card? What am I missing? Thanks!

Canon's cameras do not mount on the Desktop. It's a 'feature' of the brand.
There are several possibilities for Image Capture - including minor directory damage on the card etc. The only solution is get the card to mount, and that means a recent Card Reader.

Convert large AVI files to MPEG4 with PE11 to reduce size

I have a lot of large AVI files from captured VHS tapes. Computer hard disk is full. Should I convert large AVI files to MPEG4 using PE11 to reduce file size? In the future, can I import MPEG4 into PE11 for video projects? I don't want to delete the AVI file until I know I can work with MPEG4.

uberjaeger,
My next objective will be to learn PE11 so I can edit the video.

Large avi files

I keep getting error code 0 when I try moving my large avi files 9GB to my external drive. whats wrong? this seems like a remedial task that should be a none issue

the 4gb thing doesn't make any sense i have plenty of dvds 4.7 gb on the disk
If they're compressed or segmented, they may be less than 4GB per file.
so how do I reformat a drive hooked to a mac
Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to erase it.

Unable to import large AVI files

I make flash animations and then turn them into AVI files. When the avi file is bigger than 2gb, I am unable to import it to the timeline. If I then go back in flash and cut it in two and make two avi files, I can import them. I seem to be missing a codec or 2GB is the largest file I can import.
Any help on the codec question. I downloaded some codec detectors and it mentioned PCM as a codec. Any help would be appreciated.

You do not seem to be understanding what Neil said and asked
The TYPE of AVI you are creating out of Flash uses the TYPE of codec that only works to 2Gig... so, of course, your files over that size are corrupt
Using the DV AVI codec is a different TYPE of codec... which does allow files over 2Gig
Just because a file ends with .AVI does NOT mean it is the same as any other file which ends in .AVI - one example of this is that divX creates .AVI files, but they are actually a (hacked) version of the MPEG-4 codec and do not work well with Encore
You need to find out if you are able to create AVI files using a different codec

I had a message that shows my mail box is full, i have deleted all my file but unfortunatly it shows no change on the storage at all

Ditto on Clinton's suggestion using OmniDiskSweeper. It is an excellent tool.
It may seem elementary, but do empty Trash. Only then do you gain storage space.
You may also find a few hints here:
