IMovie 1 hour 47min. idvd says time exceeds 4.7gb disc? 911

i have been editing an imovie and the length of the film is 1 hour and 47 minutes long. I then SHARE with idvd and set it to BEST QUALITY and i use the REVELATIONS theme with pics and music for the scene selections but as i am dropping the pics and audio I go and check the Project Info and it balloons up to 19 gb size project as i am doing this, the menus box says like 1926mb size, what? shouldn't the Apple codec auto fit the themes to fit on a 4.7 disc if the actual movie is less than 2 hours.
1. what am i doing wrong?
2. I thought i can fit 2 hours worth of video on a 4.7 DVD even with iDVD themes?
3. How come it does not fit?
4. please help this project is taking 8 months to finish?

Yes i am using video in the drop zones. At this point i have always used video in the drop zones.
I just can not believe that when i check Project info and it says at BEST QUALITY, 3.30 GB, then when i start adding the themes--yes video in the drop zones it goes from 3.30GB all the way up to 19 GB on a 1 hour and 47 minute movie
I just dont understand how the drop zones take up sooo much GB space?
i will try the still option, i get i can hit APPLE I and get info on the drop zone and change it to stills?
For example, the first DVD of 2 the length was about 2GB then when i added the same THEME to that project is jumped to like 2.33GB using the same THEME, so that jump in GB i understand, but it just seems i am doing something else wrong when i SHARE this DVD with iDVD it first is at 3.30 GB then jumps to 19 GB just because of the THEME?

    Using iMovie 10.0 my project say it's 10 hours when it's 25 minutes for real, how do I fix this?

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

    I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.

  • I have restored my iphone and its saying time remaining is about 24 hours can you please help. can i switch the phone back on ? please help ??? :(

    after there being an error in trying to update the software it said i have to restore my phone which i have done but says time remaining is about 24 hours . can you please help ? i just want to switch my phone on again .

    Hello lyndsey1430,
    From what I can gather, it sounds like you're having issues restoring your device. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning recovery mode:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Use recovery mode
    You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
    iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
    You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
    Get more help
    Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • I am trying to burn a dvd. I created it on Imovie shared it to Idvd and am trying to burn it on a memorex dvd-r from my mac os x laptop. Each time it attempts to bunr and then ejects it early. Usually near the end. Please help.

    I am trying to burn a dvd. I created it on Imovie shared it to Idvd and am trying to burn it on a memorex dvd-r from my mac os x laptop. Each time it attempts to bunr and then ejects it early. Usually near the end. Please help.

    You will get better results if you use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and then drag the movie from the Movies pane of the Media Browser in iDVD onto the menu window.
    Also I suggest you use this workflow which I learned from Bengt:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • I/o scan time exceeded its period

    Hello
       I have been getting the error message "Labview: The I/O time exceeded its period" and wondered what might be causing it.
        The configuration is;
               Labview 2009 SP1
               9024 cRIO controller with a 9144 expansion chassis
               Scan mode time is 10ms with a publishing interval of 200ms
        The error occurs at seemingly random times when i download a vi to the controller to have it run there at startup.  This error generally occurs within 10 minutes, but can take hours.
        I can force the error by having the downloaded vi use a 9512 to control some motion, but it will eventually occur even if the vi does not use the 9512.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Steve B

    Steve B,
    I'm assuming you're talking about the real-time application running at startup on the controller, right? So, if you don't run it at startup (just normal run operation), do you still see the same error? What if you change your scan and publishing time to different values, say slow them down to 100 and 1000ms, respectively.
    And what's your VI doing? Can you produce some code that illustrates the problem and post it here so that I may try to duplicate the problem?

  • IMovie fails to create iDVD project

    After completing my iMovie project, clicking Create iDVD Project, Dialog box says launching iDVD, wait; but nothing happens after waiting hours!

    Dennis,
    After you clic the IDVD button, that should open the chapter marker pane on the right of the main movie screen. At the bottom of the chapter marker pane is the 'Create DVD Button'. You clic that and then you will be moved to the DVD window. Use your Mac's iDVD Help to find your way through the process of creating theme pages and moving your movie into the DVD. Help has solved most of my iMovie/iDVD teething problems. Hope this helps too!

    I am having the same problem.  I even changed my password and updated all of my security information.  Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work.  Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00.  So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid.  Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

  • From iMovie I select share iDVD, and then mouse spins forever in iDVD

    from iMovie I select share iDVD, and then mouse spins forever......
    Note: this only occurs for one of my movies, because the other iMovie projects open iDVD ok. I have also tried an archived copy of this movie and the same problem occurs. I notice in the backgound that iMovie is access iDVD for a long time (2-3 minutes), and then I can access iMovie again. However iDVD spins the mouse forever until I Option-Apple-Escape and end iDVD.
    I am running:
    iMovie Ver.# 6.03(267.2) and
    iDVD Ver.# 6.04(797)
    1) Is the problem iMovie or iDVD or the specific iMovie file which could be corrupted? Should I try and export this corrupted iMovie file into another file name?
    2) Can I reset the preferences for iMovie and iDVD? And how do I do that?
    3) Can I re-install iMovie and/or iDVD, and do I use my original DVD?

    Hi
    a. I don't ever use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie.
    I do.
    • close iMovie
    • open iDVD
    • Import or just drop the movie into iDVD
    b. Clearing iDVD
    • Delete iDVD pref file
    • Start iDVD
    • Start a new project
    Else read.
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.

  • IDVD says 'supported disk no available,' does not burn too DVD!?

    I have an Apple Imac G4 10.4.11, with iDVD 5. I have a 1 hour 20 minute 'AVI file on my computer that I want to burn to a DVD. I clicked 'Open New Project' on iDVD, then clicked 'File' and 'Import Video' and added my 'AVI file. I put in the disk ands started the burn. It took hours and hours then it ended and DVD Player popped up and a message came up on iDVD saying 'Supported Disc Needed,' but it accepted this disc, it is a DVD RW disk. How do I fix this?

    Hi
    There are several things to this.
    A .avi is a container that can carry several different codecs - most often not working with iDVD - but need's to be converted to something iDVD likes as streamingDV, .H264 or AIC (last two I think)
    • MPEG Streamclip
    • QuickTime with Pro activated
    • Flip4Mac - There is a free demo - to test and see if it works - usually does
    B. Mac and iDVD are picky regarding DVDs used. Memorex and Cheap brands usually gives problems.
    DVD-RW so to a Problem maker
    I use only DVD-R from Verbatim.
    C. A DVD can be burned into two types. Data-DVD and Video-DVD. To get an Video-DVD one has to wait to insert the DVD until iDVD asks for it (or burn it via Apple Disk Util tool from a DiskImage). If inserted too soon - Mac OS will ask You to Format or Eject it. If formatted You've got a Data-DVD.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Does anyone know what "video rendering error: -50" means?   I am trying to back up a movie i made on iMovie and get that message every time, about 30 times...

    Does anyone know what "video rendering error: -50" means?   I am trying to back up a movie i made on iMovie and get that message every time, about 30 times...   OSX10.9.2, iMovie 10.0.3, Toshiba externals 2TB etc

    Hi Babowa and Apple:
    Thanks for helping me.   Here is my workflow:
    I store any file that I save onto my external drives so that I don't fill up my main hard drive.....( I label each external hard drive by year + alpha, such as 14a, 14b etc.)  Is that a problem?   Any suggestions?
    I know iMovie works from the main iMac HD and therefore needs to find the file that I want in the external drive, such as when I "import" a file from an external such as 14a into iMovie that has been previously downloaded onto the external 14a (I download all SD cards & tapes to externals)......and it sounds like you're saying that is causing iMovie problems because the file is not so easily accessible for iMovie?
    I assume that iMovie processes the file that I have "imported" into an "iMovie Event" on my iMac HD.  I label that version as say "NLGE 3000E" for my 3000th movie, Event version, "events" that is always rough.
    After I have imported media as an event and have labeled an event, "NLGE 3000E,"  then I go to "new movie" that I assume is a "project".....and I label that version "NLGE 3000P1"...."P" for "project" and "1" for the first edition....also to help me keep track of where my movies go.   I focus on "Projects" then when editing ...and watch which edition I am editing and which edition appears where.
    I learned that I need to "share" all movies from "Projects" to save......and store my final versions on my external drive, 14a (eg) so that I am sure that I have a retrievable copy.   I try to share to YouTube from iMovie and succeeded 1/10 tries.
    Evidently a movie is not saved unless it is in "theater"?
    Please see next "reply" for other comments about retrieval.
    Thanks.

  • 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 .
