IMovie file size too large for one DVD

I've created my iMovie file and am ready to burn a DVD using iDVD to view on TV. Although my iMovie is only about 35 minutes, it is 7.73 GB. It is a simple movie. I only have a few titles, cross dissolves between clips and some audio.
How do I reduce my iMovie to fit on one DVD?
I don't have the option to "Export" under the "File" menu. And I've tried several of the "Share" formats which reduce the size, but none of them have given me TV viewing quality.
I am using iMovie HD 5 and the movie is widescreen.
Thanks!

iDVD encodes (compresses) the video before burning
the DVD, so there's no problem. Your iMovie project
will fit.
The iDVD capacity is best expressed in time instead
of size. iMovie 4/5 can include up to 2 hours of
video. A little less, counting iDVD features.

Hi Karl
I have an iMovie file that is 3hr and 10min long. I have a dual layer burner and dual layer DVD's to burn onto. Will this file fit onto the 8.5GB disc? or do I have to compress it somehow? If there is some software that will do this could you let me know?
The dual layer DVD's say they will fit 215 min of video on them, so why does it reject my file when starting iDVD?
Thanks for your help

  • Compressed Video File Size Too Large for DVD?

    I exported a one hour and 51 minute FCP Studio sequence to Compressor. I chose the 120 minute 4:3 best quality and Dolby for the audio. It took six hours and thirty five minutes to compress. When I bring the compressed "assets" into DVD Studio Pro, it indicates 5.9 gig. That won't fit on a standard DVD-R disk. Should I have used a different compression scheme when I made my choice in Compressor? Can I fit the movie on a standard DVD, or do I have to go back to FCP to shorten the sequence? What size must it be in FCP to fit on a standard DVD after Compressor and DVD Studio Pro?
    Thanks

  • Imovie file size too large

    Created 22 min. film clip (from dvd camcorder tape.) in imovies and sent to iDVD, States file too large and need to delete some of it. Looked at project & file size, states it's 14,000 minutes long or 42GB. Have I duplicated something or what. Have been unable to get handle on this to complete project.
    Have thought I might have to go back and delete bunch of clips to try resending...but want to understand whats going on. help appreciated.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   20" iMac 2.16Ghz intel core 2 duo, MacOS 10.4

    Hello,
    I'm pretty new to using a camcorder and importing the footage it into iMovie and iDVD. I was wondering this: does it seem normal that a four minute video in iMovie would = 836MB? I knew video took up a lot of memory but I didn't think it was quite that large. I took the video with my Sony HandyCam MiniDV (model HC-48). It was recorded in the 16:9 format, SP mode.
    Second question, I agreed to record a wedding for a friend and she would like me to take quite a lot of footage. I'm thiking I could end up having 6 hours of video on MiniDV tapes by the time I'm done (before editing). I have a limited amount of HD space left on my iMac G5 (aprox. 36GB), would you recommend importing the video in smaller sections, editing it, burning it to DVD (as a themed movie) and then repeating that method? Or would it be a much better idea to get a 250GB external hard drive and set it up to be able to give me the extra 'head room' I need for the editing and finishing process? Do you have any good recommendations for an external (FireWire) hard drive brand that works well with Macs, but is also affordable (I'm not really hoping to drop a lot more money into this project)?
    Sorry to throw so many questions at you in one post. This project has mushroomed WAY beyond what I first thought it was going to be so I'm trying to get ready for this in a hurry (wedding is two weeks away).
    Thank you for any insights you can offer.

  • What can I do for "File size too large"?

    Spent 9 hrs creating a slideshow that I saved.  Closed PSE 11 and reopened and can no longer find the slideshow.  When I select Find, Media type, Project, nothing appears, but there is a gray box in my grid that says "File size too large".  Is this my slideshow and if so how can I recover it?  I am sick as this was a large time investment for my daughter's wedding which is very soon!  Please help if you can.

    I don't know anything about slide shows but if a picture is too large this is just a warning message, if I click a pic with this message it does show up. Have you tried clicking the thumbnail?

  • ERROR : OpenDoc CR to PDF - File is too large for attachment.

    We are getting the following error in 3.1 using an OpenDoc call when we call a large Crystal Report to PDF format...
    Error : 52cf6f8f4bbb6d3.pdf File is too large for attachment.
    It runs OK from BOE when given parameters that returned 44 pages. (PDF = 139 KB)
    We get the error on a parameter-set that returns 174 pages when run via CR Desktop or as a SCHEDULED Instance. (PDF = 446 KB).
    Client application can't use the SDKs to SCHEDULE Instances - only configured for OpenDoc calls.....
    The BOE server is running on SOLARIS - and it's is a 2 Server CMS-Cluster.
    The problem is SPORADIC, so I am thinking the issue is related to a specific setting on one of the servers.
    Any thoughts on where to start looking...?

    Problem is _not _with the number of Rows returned - it is an issue with the size of the PDF file that it is trying to move.
    Found a possible WINDOWS solution on BOB - need to find if there is an equivalent for SOLARIS...
    Check the dsws.properties on web server D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
    See if you can change any parameter to remove size limitation.

  • When I attempt to download the lastest OS iPhone update to iTunes, the file is too large for my internet carrier will allow.  My max is 400 MB and the file is what about 583 MB?  Options?  The same is true for the iTunes updates.

    When I attempt to download the lastest version of the iphone 4 OS update or the itunes one for the desktop, the file is too large for my internet carrier.  It will allow only a 400 MB download versus the download size of 583 MB.  Suggestions?

    You can download on your work computer, then place the file on your desktop of your home computer, if you want. Then:
    Launch iTunes
    Option+Click (Mac OS X) or Shift+Click (Windows) the Update button
    Select the IPSW update file you just placed on your desktop
    Let iTunes update your hardware to the latest version
    The .ipsw file is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Windows Vista & Windows 7: \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it.

  • ReportExportControl  -- File is too large for attachment

    Hi all,
    Back with a exception again.
    Few reports deployed on BOXIR2 SP4 comes with an error as following
    com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportExportControl
    15bf5ea9377e1c1.rtf File is too large for attachment.
    Few reports take date range as input and generates result based on that. When date range is small report is generated without any problem. If is large and has large set of records(approx above 10K records) then comes up with the above error.
    Another set of reports whatever be the case throws this error.
    But when the parameters are set in CMS console and run in console report is generated without any problem what ever be the date range.
    After searching a lot no solutions in hand!!
    Please suggest solutions/possible scenarios / checklist to solve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards

    It turns out the report was so large it was basically overloading everything (disk space, cache sizes, timeouts, etc.) ... Here's the solution from the case:
    1) For page server and cache server
    Make sure location of Temp Files/Cache files has enough free space (more than 500 MB)
    2) For page server and cache server
    Minutes Before an Idle Connection is Closed = 90
    3) For page server
    Minutes Before an Idle Report Job is Closed = 90
    4) For cache server
    Maximum Simultaneous Processing Threads = automatic
    5) In the command line of page server and cache server, add
    "-requestTimeout 5400000" [without " "]
    6) Maximum Cache Size Allowed (KBytes) = set it to an appropriate value (for e.g. for 500 Mb, value should be 500*1024 = 512000)
    (This setting limits the amount of hard disk space used to store cached pages. If we need to handle large reports, a large cache size is needed. Maximum allowed is 2048 GB)
    After all this, an "Error 500 - Java heap space" happened.  The amount of memory allocated to a JVM application can be set using the options -Xms (the initial size) and -Xmx (the maximum size).

  • "File is too large for attachment." using the Viewer SDK

    Post Author: CBurger
    CA Forum: JAVA
    I'm using the Viewer SDK to retrieve a report from BOE XI 2 SR2.
    This is done via the a piece of Java code ...
    ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
    ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
    IReportSourceFactory psReportSourceFactory = (IReportSourceFactory) enterpriseSession.getService(ReportConstants.REPORT_PSREPORT_FACTORY);
    Object reportSource = psReportSourceFactory.openReportSource(report.getID(), Locale.ENGLISH);
    exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
    exportControl.setURI(reportPath.toString());
    exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
    exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
    exportOptions.setExportFormatType(exportFormat);
    exportControl.setParameterFields(reportParameters);
    exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServlet().getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
    exportControl.dispose();
    The report is generated as an Excel file.
    If I call for a small Excel - no problem: a dialog pops up asking me to "save as ..."
    If I call for a larger Excel (about 20MB) - PROBLEM "File is too large for attachment."
    Unfortunatly I don't find any information in the log files.
    Any ideas?

    Has this ever been resolved?  We are having a similar issue.
    Thanks!

  • File is too large for attachment - BO Integration Error

    I developed Crystal reports (using Universe)in CR XIR2 and deployed in BO XIR 2 Repository.
    Reports database is -DB2.
    I am able to preview the reports in CMC/Infoview.
    But when we are integrating our Application(Called GBS) to BO ,and when I am trying to open CR reprots from BO repository,it is throwing error " File is too large for attachment " .
    The report is not too big even ,it is having only 100 records.
    I am not sure why it is throwing this error?Did anyone faced the same error ever?
    Please let me know any resolution for this,as it is blockign for me.

  • MP3 file size too large ?

    Hi all,
    I purchased the C3 to replace my older 6300 a couple of days ago.
    It seems that my C3 problem discussed in another topic is almost similar.
    I placed a 1Gb memory card and works just fine. I can approach and play all MP3 files on it.
    But the option to use an MP3 as a ringtone is greyed out.
    Tried to get it to work through personalizing profiles gives me the error message : file size too large ! Everty time and no matter which MP3 I choose. The file size is 4.3 Mb.
    I tried editing the file, downsizing it to 770 Kb, but same error message occurs : too large.
    Any other suggestions before I decide to bring this phone back ?
    Solved!

  • 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.

  • .War file size too large on Sun One WebServer 6.1

    We are using Sun One Web Server 6.1. I am trying to deploy a .war file thru the admin interface, and it fails due to the .war file being too large (over 10 megs). I am new to this server and have been looking around to see if there is a config setting somewhere I can modify, but I can't find anything.
    Can anyone tell me if I can change the max size, and if so where?
    Thanks very much.

    Try this:
    Go to $SERVER_ROOT/bin/https/webapps/admin-app/WEB-INF/web.xml file and make a backup copy. Edit this file and in the servlet webappdeploy, insert an init param named maxUploadSize with a value in bytes specifying the maximum upload size. Example:
    <init-param>
    <param-name>maxUploadSize</param-name>
    <param-value>20000000</param-value>
    </init-param>
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Adobe Media Encoder P2 File Size Too Big for Fat32

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working on a project that has to be delivered on an actual P2 card.
    I'm on a Mac running 10.9.1 using Media Encoder 7.2.2.29.
    My final files are ProRes files and I dropped them into Media Encoder and selected the P2 AVC-Intra 100 1080 option. I set the destination to a local drive and everything seemed to encode properly. I have a CONTENTS folder and all the required subfolders and MXF files. The problem is, when I went to copy the folder to the actual P2 card, Finder told me that some of the files "can't be copied because [they are] too large for the volume's format." And, indeed, looking at several of the video files in the Finder, they seem to max out at 4.29GB (4,294,971,924 bytes), which is 4,629 bytes larger than the FAT-32 size limit.
    I just now tried to encode directly to the P2 card and I got an error that was, ostensibly, a "Disk Full" error, but happened at right around where I would expect that 4GB limit to be.
    Is this something others have encountered? Is there a setting I missed? According to the P2 workflow PDF here, the folder structure AME creates "can be exported directly to a connected P2 card, or it can be exported to a selected drive and the folders and files copied over to the card."
    One possibility might be to split up the files into shorter videos, but I'm not sure how AME would handle ordering on the card.
    Thanks
    David

    I wanted to mention, in case anybody else has this issue, installing and using Media Encoder CS6 produces P2 MXF files that are the proper size. I filed a bug report, hopefully Adobe can get the CC version fixed.
