IMovie exports large Memory Intensive Files

I have just started using iMovie08 and find in exporting to QuickTime the size for 15 minutes of Footage is 3.2 GB. Exporting the same file to Share> Media Browser gives a file size of 2.2 Gb in MP4 format. How will I get an hour of clips onto one DVD

Don't worry about file sizes when burning a DVD in iDVD. File size depends on the data rate associated with the codec used. Since iDVD will convert your project file to MPEG-2 video and PCM audio and then mux them together in a VOB file container, the only thing that matters is the number of minutes being converted and which compression option you use in iDVD. In you case, an hour of count should about fit on any of the three options for a single-layer burn.

  • Reading Large Memory.dmp files

    I'm got a 2003 servers and I got the error below. I've found how you can read the small memory.dmp files, but this file is 1.5GB. Can anyone tell me how I can read this? Or what this error is? The system unexpectedly shut down.
    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xb96de1d1, 0xb69e9240, 0xb69e8f3c). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP.

  • Import/Export Large Complex XMl files(700MB) to MySQL tables

    Am creating an application that will be mporting large and complex XML file in the range of 500-1000MB size. An xml ile wil have 5-6 levels of xml tags where the first tag will be the client account configuration e.g name, location, address, the second will be orders made, the third will be order items, fourth will be item defination...etc. The following is a sample structure of the file.
    <mycompany_sales> <customer name="me">   <location country="Kenya">     <town>nairobi</toen>     <order id="20000" date="2008-09-08">         <item id="4000">             <stock>2000</stock>           <buying>300.0</buying>       </item>       ........       <total>5000</total>   </order>   .............. </location> </customer> ........... </mycompany_sales>
    Because of the size, if i process this file using DOM it will result to out of memory error. I have tried parsing with SAX but it takes about 18 hours to process which is not ideal. If i import this data to Microsoft Access it takes about 10 minutes to import including it's relationship. i.e. creates the six tables and the foregin key relations.
    I tried using XML-DBMS package but since it relies on DOM, it cant process. Does anyone know of a package that would help me import this data to any JDBC databse and also recreate the same structure of xml from the jdbc db. It would also be ideal if it can create sample map file during import and export.
    Thanks in advance,

    I suggest that you just create SQL directly. Or perhaps a import file if MySQL has it.
    Less impact on the database, easier to test, easier to verify, and much faster to actually apply the data.

  • Best compression for exporting large files from iMovie for use in iDVD?

    I have a doco that I've made as separate projects too slow to make it all in one project - which I then exported as Quicktime .mov files. When I assembled the .mov files in iDVD I ended up with 4.7GB of material which iDVD flipped out on and crashed.
    What would be the best compression to apply to the large .mov files but reduce the overall file sizes by say 10%
    Its sometimes taking up to 6 hours to render each project average total screentime per project is about 70 minutes and each project file size ranges from 1 to 6GB...
    I feel like I'm a little out of my depth on this one!
    Any suggestions for this dilemma?
    Thanks
    Tony

    When I assembled the .mov files in iDVD I ended up with 4.7GB of material which iDVD flipped out on and crashed... Any suggestions for this dilemma?
    Not sure if your 4.7GB reference is for the source files or the resulting "muxed" MPEG2/PCM encoded content. In any case a single layer DVD is limited to 4.7 GBs of total content. To be safe, this usually means you are limited to 4.2 to 4.3 GB of encoded movie and/or slideshow content depending on how many and what type of menus you are creating created. Thus, if you are encoding for a single-layer DVD and your project encoded content exceeds the capacity of your DVD, then this would likely explain your problem.
    If your project size reference is for the source content being added to your iDVD project, then it is totally irrelevant and you need to concentrate on the total duration of your iDVD and the method of encoding instead of file size. Basically, for a single-layer DVD, only about 60 minutes content can be encoded using the "Best Performance" encode option, 90 minutes using the "High Quality" setting, or 2 hours in the "Professional Quality" encode mode. Thus, if your content duration exceeds the capacity of your encoding mode here, it would likely explain your problem.
    In either case, the solution would be to either burn to higher capacity optical media/higher capacity encoding mode or burn your content to multiple DVDs as individual projects at the current media capacity/encoding mode.

  • Imported iMovie video 6 times larger than .mts files on camcorder

    I would like to be able to watch all my HD video footage on my iMac, but when imported using iMovie it takes up FAR too much hard drive space.
    I am importing video from a Canon Vixia AVCHD camcorder (HF21). The native .mts files on the camera are about 10GB per hour (~ 6 hrs of footage on the 64GB internal memory), but when I import the video using iMovie, they expand by around 6 times, to about 60GB per hour (that is, the .mov video files saved in iMovie Events folders are HUGE, 60GB per hour, or ~ 1GB per minute).
    This seems too large to be practical; the first 6 hours of import took up ~360GB of storage - and that was only the first time I'd used the camera and imported footage! So I only get less than 2 full uses and imports of the camera's memory before my 1TB iMac is completely full (not including what is already on there).
    I have started "Archive All" to save the video footage in it's raw format, but now the footage is not usable or watchable on the iMac unless I go and import it again with iMovie - where once again it expands to 6 times it's size.
    Is there a solution to this? How can I make all my HD footage watchable on the iMac, retaining the full quality raw HD of the video, but not take up more than 1/3 of my 1TB hard drive each time I import from my camcorder?
    If I import to iMovie, then export as a smaller file, surely I will lose quality?
    I have heard it can be done with Final Cut, is that correct?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thank you AppleMan1958 for that link to your earlier post. I have spent way to many hours tonight trying to work out why Nanna's Christmas video clips off her new JVC suddenly filled my HD. iMovie warned me that an hour of video at full would take 40GB. Gross underestimate lol.
    I have decided I will import as large just to off stuff to DVD or quicktime format for the family then dump the iMovie Event in the trash and do an archive of all the footage to keep it for future editing. I'm lucky to have an external raid as the backing up of externals just starts becoming expensive in redundant backup drives.
    I would be very cautious of using DVD's for backup as I have seen them fail too easily after a only a few years.
    wardyf18 - My understanding is that importing on the Large setting gives you 960x540 resolution which isn't as good as the 1280x720 supported by older Apple TV's but I havn't noticed much difference in recent testing.
    I believe the newest Apple TV will support 1080 on H.264 format but if you are playing MPEG4 it only supports 640x480 anyway. As a lot of my older stuff was converted to MPEG4 for iTunes so I now realise most of what I watch is only 640x480
    mvmum - after hours of reading tonight I have come to the realisation that a Mac actually handles the editing of HD video pretty well but ADVHC is just not a good editing codec. Converting a 'group of pictures' codec to a 'full frame' codec is going to give you a large file on any system. Unfortunately a 'full frame' codec appears to definately be the best way to edit and anything that edits a 'group of pictures' codec like ADVHC has other quality problems.
    Thanks all for your discussion and advice.

  • Need help exporting large file to bitmap format

    I have a large file that I need to export to a bitmap format and I am experiencing unknown "IMer" errors, memory and file size limitations.
    The file contains only one artboard of size around 8000 pixels by 6000 pixels. I can successfully export as a png at 72dpi giving me a 100% image of my AI file. However I need to export an image at 200% of the AI file. If I export as a png at 144dpi to achieve this I get the following error(s)
    "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error (IMer)" or "Could not complete this operation. The rasterised image exceeded the maximum bounds for savung to the png format"
    I have tried exporting as tiff, bmp and jpeg but all give "not enough memory"  or "dimensions out of range" errors.
    Does anyone know the limitations with AI for saving large files to bitmap format?
    Does anyone have a workaround I could try?

    You could try printing to Adobe Postscript files.
    This will actually save a .ps file and you can scale it to 200% when doing so. You'll need to "print" for every image change.
    Then open a Photoshop document at your final size (16000x12000 pixels) and place or drag the .ps files into the Photoshop document.
    I just tested this and it seems to work fine here. But, of course, I don't have your art, so complexity of objects might factor in and I'm not seeing that here.
    And you are aware that Photoshop won't allow you to save a png at those dimension either, right? The image is too large for PNG. Perhaps you could explain why you specifically need a png that large???

  • Problems exporting large PDF files

    I am trying to export a 52 page InDesign file to PDF. One or two random pages will not export properly, elements from other pages appear and other graphics which were there in InDesign have dissappeared in the exported PDF file. The most annoying thing is that when I export the offending pages separately, one at a time the export without any problems. Is it possible for Indesign to experience an "information overload" when exporting larger documents? how can I fix this?
    thanks,
    Geordie

    Well, I didn't want to go into the weeds and be too much of a distraction, but since you asked, I guess it's puzzling because:
    I work with long complex documents, and it doesn't happen to me.
    We don't see many reports of this problem on the forum [I can't remember any, honestly, but I have not dug hard].
    There are some similar problems, mostly relating to master page items, that have been fixed in some recent updates.
    I don't see how touching many or all page items or pages has much to do with "address space"; sure, it will make InDesign use more virtual memory, but that's a core function of the operating system, and if it's flaking out, there should be many more serious problems. Therefore I am probably misunderstanding your use of "working address space."
    If in fact there is some allocation limit that is being hit or leak or whatnot, it ought to be caught be refcounting of the resource, and the various checks in the InDesign debug build, the InDesign server 30-day uptime tests, etc., etc.
    The implication is that you have reproducible testcases for this problem and have been unable to get InDesign Engineering to resolve the problem, which is kind of an unfortunate situation to be in, so I slap the label of "puzzling" on it.
    An alternative interpretation is that you think the problem isn't easily solvable and haven't really tried to do so, which I also find puzzling.
    If the 64 bit InDesign fixes this, it's just papering over the problem. But since we have a 64-bit InDesign Server for Windows (right? I don't use ID Server for much), it should be easily testable today.
    So, that's basically some rough insight into the things floating around in my head that lead me to be "puzzled."
    I don't mean to discount your problems, or your workaround; I thought it useful to offer the original poster the standard workarounds and suggestions we tend to offer for the broader category of problem, in case yours did not work (hence "Beyond that").

  • IMovies - Export Using Quicktime - can't find the finished file - help please!

    Please help.  I exported several imovies projects to a designated file on my mac, using Share - Export using Quicktime and then I uploaded them to Youtube. 
    I did this successfully several times, now when I export a project, it takes about 45 minutes to export it, then I can't find them anymore.
    I have read several threads, which suggest looking in the iMovie projects folder and locate your project Right-click to get to "show package contents" and they are not there.
    It looks as if it goes through successfully, no errors but this is so annoying as I am wasting hours sharing and then can't find it.  Please help anyone.
    Thanks

    Hi Gee
    I originally spent about 10 hours uploading 3 clips directly from imovies to Youtube to a private channel and they couldn't find any signs of my 3 uploads.  So I read threads that said export to Quicktime from imovies and then load them to Youtube that way.  I did that for 3 short, 10 minute videos and it worked fine.  It changed the thread to .mov and it worked.
    Then perhaps I changed something (not sure what) but now when I use Export to Quicktime, it spends 1 hour or so doing the motions and completes but when I go to the allocated folder to retrieve it.  It can't be found.  I read threads and this seems to be a regular occurrence but I haven't read any replies that has solved this issue.
    Hope that's clearer.

  • Export large files and maintaining high dpi

    My export default is set to 300 dpi, but it continually exports at 250 dpi -- how can I fix this?  I have very large files, but sometimes when I upload to Photoshop they show at 72 dpi.  Something is off.

    Where do you set the export default? There is no Export default, afaik. You can define export presets, to pick from. Which export prset will be applied, depends on how you export.
    If you export using the Media Browser - drag from the Aperture window, the Preview will be exported.
    If you export an Image Version (File -> Export -> Version), the selected Export preset (in the File chooser) will be used.
    If you export a Master (File -> Export -> Master),no export peresets apply, the original master image file will be exported.
    If you export to an external Editor, the settings in the Preferences -> Export apply.
    So how do you export and "upload to Photoshop to get so surprising results?

    Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
    *There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

  • IMovie exported file location?

    Where does iMovie store the file it creates when exporting to iDVD? I want to find it and delete it, but I don't know where it is. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

    1) Where does iMovie '08 keep raw footage files on my hard drive (default)?
    The normal default location is in the "namedstart-updrive > nameduseraccount > iMovie Events > named_event" folder.
    2) Once I find it can I simply cut and past it to my external drive into a folder of my choice?
    It can be done, but not "simply." Its is far easier to perform the move from within iMovie '08 itself. Here is the URL for a "Quickie" tutorial: TUTORIAL 021: Moving an iMovie '08 Event
    3) In the future do I simply copy my footage to the external drive and open iMovie to find/access it?
    In the future, you should select the hard drive and name the event in the import window which opens as soon as you press the "Import" button.

  • Exporting Issue: One large frame sized project, needs to be split and exported in 3 separate files

    Hello Awesome people, help me out here Please!

    how to split one project into 3 so that I can get 2 x 1920 (W) and 1 x 640 (W), and height for all three would be 1260 (H)??

    Dear Evans,
    You might need to check the print preferences settings on the system. This is available from Administration -> System Initialization -> Print Preferences.
    Check this out for the documents that get printed as images and get stored in the Bitmaps folder. Check under the 'general' tab whether the check box for printing documents as images is ticked. If yes, untick this. Then check the settings under the 'Per Document' tab - you will need to change the settings per each document.
    I hope this helps.
