IDVD project too bin for iDVD 6!

I have a project that I successfully burned to DVD (multiple times, too!) using iDVD 5. I just installed iDVD 6, and it successfully opens the project, but projects a size 100MB larger than it thinks will fit onto a DVD!
What happened? What made the iDVD 6 project larger (I made no changes, just opened iDVD!)?

Bummer, a typo!

15 minute, 400 meg project too big for one DVD?

I have a 15 minute video in widescreen format that is about 400 megabytes in size according to the project info.
When attempting to burn, I am told that the project size is too big for a DVD and suggests I use a dual layer DVD.
I have over 390 gig available on my 1 TB hard drive.
I have no chapter markers
I have reduced the intro clip(s) to less than 30 seconds.
All to no avail. I am now burning the dvd using Toast, which is perfectly happy using 400 megabytes of my DVD to burn the disk.
What assets could iDVD possibly be adding to use up the remaining 4 gig of disk space, and how might I view them and delete them?
I know this is an old topic...I've read lots of posts including one similar to mine. In most cases people are attempting to burn over 1 hour of video. In the one case similar to mine, the person had full length video in each chapter marker (or some such issue). I have none.
In my case it is a 15 minute video (granted its in HD/widescreen format). Why, with a project size well under the disc size, does it refuse to burn due to size limits? Clearly the project info does not reflect iDVD's actual size requirements for the project.
Why not?
Finally, changing to 4x3 is not an option and yes, I have tried changing the compression algorithm from best performance to higher quality, though this is supposedly for video longer than 60 minutes.

Hi
Free space only referes to Start-up (boot) hard disk. iDVD can't use any other for scratch files.
25Gb is my minimum setting.
15 minutes video - to much indicates that it might have been droped it into iDVD window
but here landed it into a "button area" - not movie area.
Recommendation in case of this is to move it out (or start a new iDVD project)
and in iDVD use the Import function instead. Now it lands where it should.
And dep on Your encoding choise the movie can be up to 60 or 120 minutes long
(menu included => simple menu = more movie)
Other alternative is feeding iDVD strange video formats that can give many
interesting problems eg .wmv, .avi, .mpeg4 etc.

Project too new for final cut 6.0.2 error message

My colleague at work has edited a rough cut on her Quad Core Intel computer. I'm using a Power Mac G5, and was able to download the project onto my desktop, but I get this message every time I try to open it: "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut." We're both using FCP 6.0.2, I've done all the software updates I can, but I still receive the message. Does anyone know what I can do?

Did the person use the same workstation you are using? If you have the other person's volume mounted on your desktop, and you are definitely running the same OS, and you have the same version of FCP, then try opening the original file, not a copy. If it opens, do a *"save as"* instead of using a duplicated copy of the project.
Also, if they are using a different workstation, they may have another 3rd party component installed that they used, (maybe a filter or codec), that would interfere with it opening. The best way to make sure FibreJet works seemlessly in a multi-station work environment is to make absolutely sure that every station is a clone of the others. If you do an update on one, you have to do it on all. If you add an application, make sure you add it to all stations.
If you are using a different workstation, try to open it with the other station, then mount your desktop to that station through the LAN, and do a *"save as"* to your desktop, then try opening it from there.
Of course, do all this after trying to zip it before copying it. It only takes a second and would eliminate one aspect of the possible problem.

Widescreen project too wide for my widescreen TV?!

Hi everyone!
So I'm going nutz and have read a bunch of other threads on this but most of it is way over my head. Can someone help out a layman?
I just made a movie on iMovie and then moved it to iDVD. I am using iLife 08. The projects (the movie and dvd) were both widescreen. Everything was great! Looked great on the computer etc... But then I played the dvd on my widescreen TV and the top and bottom of the picture (including titles I had put on the bottom of the screen using the imovie templates) had been cut off. Not letter boxed but rather they seemed to not fit on the screen. I tried changing my tv settings but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know what might be up? I also tried to burn the dvd as a standard 4:3 project and the resulting DVD still had the top and bottom cut off. Is this an issue with my DVD/TV?
thanks guys!!

On your DVD player, go to settings and find the Video area. Find aspect ratio and change that to 16:9.

DVD Studio Project too big for DVD

Well, I've exported my video and audio out of FCP through compressor and got into DVD Studio.
The movie I'm making is a compiliation of the years 1991-2007 (family film), thou there were no film from some years. So I made a main meny with the buttons "Play Movie" and "Chapters", the "chapters"-button opens an other meny with buttons for all the years. The year-buttons is linked to the different chapters. ie. 1991 is chapter 1 and 1992 is chapter 2 etc.
So there are two menues, the main and the chapter. There is also a "return-to-main-meny"-button in the chapters meny. There are about 15 buttons total and I used the apple simple button for all of them. Then there are some backgound images and of course there is the video and the audio track.
The size of the video is 4,4Gb and the audio is 190Mb, so without the menues they fit on a DVD (4,7Gb) but the menues seems to take up too much space.
How can I make all of it fit to the DVD?

You can build the project and use VTS view to see how much they are taking but if you are applying transitions they can take up room since the transition is being built for each button. So in other words lets say you have picture 1 as a background on menu 1 and picture 2 as background on menu 2 with 15 buttons on the menus, 15 seperate transitions are being made even if each transition is identical.
In other words if you are using 15 transitions on each menu back and forth (or even less) you can go over the 20 Megs rights there (and if they are longer transitions in terms of time that will add more size.)
You can get around this by using dvdafteredit or other editor but not in DVD SP itself
You are pretty close even without the menus, so it can be pushing you over. Anyway what was the AC3 rate? Could get you under there also (and maybe deleting transitions in menus can also help.)
Also keep in mind that filling a disc fully (or very close) can cause issues.
So (depending on how you want to go)
1.) Delete transitions if you do not need/want them
2.) See if there is any room to knock down the audio at all
3.) Encode the video at a lower rate. (If you go this route I would suggest not trying to thread the needle too closely - meaning if the average rate was 5, let's say, in the original code, do not drop it to 4.9 or something, bring it down so you know you have some room, perhaps 4.75 for example, so you do not have to go back through the process.)
What was the total running time of the video? Check this out for calculations http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm, then bring it down a tad to be safe.

Bypass "Project Too Large" for iMovie YouTube Publishing?

Hello,
When attempting to upload a YouTube video over 10 minutes using iMovie, it will not allow me saying that the Project is too large and must be under 10 minutes. The thing is, I am able to upload video over 10 minutes because I signed up to YouTube when they allowed over 10 minute videos. I can still upload the videos if I do it manually but I wish there was a way to bypass this in iMovie. Any tips or suggestions besides telling me to do it manually?
Thanks.

Hi y'all,
I am having a simlar issue with iMovie for iPad.
My files are way to big to export.
The fileis is 2.4GB and I can only export 500MB to Vimeo.
It's 63 mins and I can only export 15 mins to youtube!
I recorded a video diary and have clipped the file/project in the original project/timeline in to day recordings. I have been unable to find a way to export those individual clips (day recordings) in to separate folders. I was hoping I could export individual clips in to sepearate folders then export them.
I hope this makes sense?
If it does please let me know if this possible with imovie for iPad?
Thank you!

IDVD Won't burn - project too big

Okay I've looked at other posts but I don't think my project is too long. The imovie is only 37:00. After exporting to iDVD it creates a Quick time .mov file. When trying to burn the dvd, the error msg. reads "7.4 gig file is too big for 4.2 gig disc " Should I be compressing somewhere?

welcome macplebe to the  boards ...
save your project in the "Movies" folder
launch iDVD
under media, choose your movie...
no export, no compression, no .mov ... needed...-
indeed, iDVD accepts projects of <120min...

IMovie too long for iDVD

My iMovie is 1 hr. 17 min. long. After setting preferences to Best Quality, it says the movie is too long for iDVD. How do I cut the movie into 2 sections to put onto 2 DVD's?

STR,
This may not be a practical suggestion for you, but if you had access to a good quality S-VHS recorder (or HI8) , you could export your video to two discs, burning for maximum image quality straight from iMovie, and transferring that material onto a single S-VHS tape or HI8 tape ?
I find the maximum length of PAL video I can burn onto a 4.7GB disc for best quality is less that 58 minutes; above that duration, the quality deteriorates quite badly .

Turn idvd project into movie for youtube

How do you turn idvd project into movie for youtube

if what you are seeking is simply adding the dvd presentation as a QT movie (no buttons or menus from iDvd) then look into DVDXDV > iMovie or iDVD.

How to backup an iMovie project that is too large for the dvd?

This may be obvious, and it was probably answered elsewhere, but I'm trying to clean off my hard drive by saving my iMovie projects to two sets of dvds (one for home and one set for safekeeping at work). When saving one project as an archive, it just says this project is too large for a disc. Is it possible to stuff it as a .sitx file and then save that onto dvd? Is there a better solution than an external hard drive (which I've had a couple of fail on me).

DVD's can only hold about 4.7 GB's of DV Stream format (the format used by iMovie).
DV Stream is 13 GB's per hour of recording so it would take 3 DVD's to "store" your data for a one hour capture.
"Export" (back to tape) or use iDVD to "burn" an MPEG-2 version of your file.
Only the "tape" version would not require some type of conversion on import.

I finished adding my transtions to my timeline. I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

What Happened?
No way for us to know. But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem. The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted. This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
First, make sure your system is running correctly. Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file. Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it). Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE. It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions). You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

Can't open Project - The file format is too new for this version of the pro

Hi everyone
I have the following Problem with my Final Cut Express: When I try to open a project i get an error message: "The file format is too new for this version of the program". (my FCE is in german, this is the google translation!)
I have already erased all the rendering files, but no luck.
Please Help!

Have you recently reinstalled FCE and forgotten to update it?

I am trying to upload an imovie to youtube. it says project too large but i have permission for larger projects. Help and thanks.

I am trying to upload an imovie to youtube. It keeps saying "project too large" even though I have permission from youtube for over 15 minutes. Please help. Thanks.

share the video via a quicktime movie in whatever format you want to use, I usually create an mp4. Once you that video is set (I usually save to my desktop) go ahead and upload from YouTube rather than going direct from iMovie. I suspect you will not have the same size issue.
