Is there a file size limit or other limit

Hi,
I imported a movie into imovie as a new event. It's an MOV file. It's pretty long, 3 hours and 55 minutes. However, the idvd option in the Share menu is grayed out. I even tried doing it without any chapter markers or anything. I then just took a 40 minute clip from the movie. Even that small amount was grayed out.
Is there some size limit to the event import?
Without shutting down imovie or anything. I started another project. I imported another MOV video I know worked fine before. It was just under two hours. The iDVD menu was active.
I don't get any messages or anything. What causes the iDVD to gray out for one movie file but not another. They are of the exact same quality. Size is the only thing I can think of, but there is no reference.

The limitation is iDVD. For single-layer iDVD projects, the limit is 120 minutes. That includes all content: movies, slideshows, and menu/submenu content.
If your project exceeds that limit, you cannot share it to iDVD. For dual-layer DVD disks, the limitation in iDVD is double, so the maximum content limit is 240 minutes. Your iMovie is only 5 minutes less than the limit. Even if you do a dual-layer project, you may find that your menu content makes the project exceed even the 240 minute limit. If you could delete another 3-5 minutes of the iMovie, you would ensure that it would be under the time limit.
To get iDVD menu option activated, try opening a new iDVD project, changing its preferences to dual-layer and then saving and closing the project. That might change iDVD's default so that when you try again to share the long iMovie, the iDVD menu will be active.
If that does not work, close the movie, open the new iDVD project, go to iDVD preferences and be certain the dual-layer option is selected. Then, in the iDVD project, go to the Media tab, then Movies, locate your iMovie and drag it into the iDVD project's main menu window.
You need to be sure that your drive can burn to dual layer disks. Most newer computers can do so, but some of the older Macs cannot.

  • Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

    Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

    If you right click on the file (navigate to it using finder, or if it is in iCloud you should open keynote, File -> Open and you should see a list of your iCloud keynotes) then press command+i, you'll pull up the info tag which will tell you the file size.
    Keynote also has an option to Reduce File Size  (File -> Reduce Files Size) but I do not recommend it at all because it will severely degrade the quality of your pictures. 
    It's also possible to reduce an individual image's memory size in your keynote by right clicking it and selecting Reduce Image File Size).  This is more time-consuming but allows you to see if the degraded photo quality is still good enough, and you can always undo it.

  • Is there a file size limit for App Store downloads over wifi?

    I just gifted my friend a navigation app that is 1.4 Gb in size. Unbeknown to me, her iPhone is not tethered to a computer and therefore she only downloads apps directly to the phone via wifi. Is it possible to download a file of this size directly to the phone? So far the app has said "Loading..." for 3 hrs with no movement in the status bar. If there is a limit I would have expected the phone to disallow the process from even beginning.
    Any thoughts on how to get this app downloaded would be greatly appreciated.

  • Is there a file size limit of each pic /or total of all pictures for iBook

    I am putting together an iPhoto book using pages of several pictures each I have composed in Photoshop. I then import these pages as a jpeg or psd to iPhoto. I am finding the jpegs often do not import (with message explaining, etc) but that the psd documents do import. These are rather large documents because of the several pictures used on each page. I am planning to do 30 double sided full bleed pages and I am concerned the finished book will be refused because the completed book file is to large. Should I be? Another way to put this could be: is there a size limit of each page or the total size of the book that iPhoto will accept for an individual book?

    Your best bet would be to make duplicate of your iPhoto Library folder and then open the duplicate and delete all the photos that do not belong to the book. Keep the book in the Source pane however. If you think some photos might be added later then keep them also.
    Now the iPhoto Library folder will be small enough to burn to disk (just drag the folder onto a mounted, blank disk and burn via the Finder). That folder can then be copied from the CD to the desktop of the other computer and opened with iPhoto to continue with the fine tuning. I'd rename the library folder to something like "Book Library" before burning to disk. This method is also a great way of preserving the book after you've ordered it in case you want to order a second copy at a later date. I create a special library for all my books for that exact reason. Once ordered and burned, I can reorder the same book later on even if I have a catastrophic drive crash in the meantime.

  • Is there a file size limit when exporting PDF to Word using AcrobatXI?

    We have a 500 page document, mostly text, to scan and convert.

    I doubt there is a hard limit, but you may hit problems with particularly big files.
    But I am concerned about the word "scan" here. Are these files not even PDF files yet? If so, no solution for going paper -> Word is likely to be improved by sticking "PDF" in the middle to get paper -> PDF -> Word. Involving PDF in the middle of any conversion process is more likely to be a mistake than not.

  • Is there a file size limit on mp4s that can be imported to iTunes 11.1.3?

    I've recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.3, and finding that if I import video files, not all of them will actually import.  They're all using a H.264, AAC, MPEG-4 ODSM, MPEG-4 SDSM codec, but the sizes are varying from 20mb on the low end to 200mb on the high end.  And it appears the larger file sizes aren't being imported.  This has worked fine on 11.0 and earlier, so I don't understand why these files won't import.

    I have put on things up to 2GB so far. No issues.
    Could be your USB port. Are you sure you are using a 2.0 port (and not one connected via a Hub)?

  • Is there a file size limit when using Read From Spreadsheet File?

    I'm trying to read in a large file, about 52mb, 525600 lines with 27 fileds in each line using "Read From SpreadsheetFile.vi". I then search the 2D array for -999, which represents bad/no data in that field and total the number of fields with -999 in it. This all works on 3 months worth of data. The program is giving me an out of memory error and stopping in the case where the read takes place on the large one year file. So my question is does the Read from Spreadsheet file have size limitations? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Solved!

    Camerond--
           Thanks for the help. I recreated the VI you posted and unfortunately it doesnt work. It looks like the index array vi is only looking at the zero index and not the other 26 fields in each row. This would probably require a FOR LOOP to go through each field index. This is what I have and it works on a smaller version of the file. For some reason LV is using up bucket loads of memory to run this smaller file and crashes running the 60MB file. I've attached one of my vi's to solve this problem and the smaller data set. You'll see in the beginning that I trim some columns and rows to leave just the data I want to scan. Thanks again for the help.
        I just tried send 3 months worth of one minute data and it failed. So here is a really small version, 20 minutes worth of data. Does anyone see anything that would cause memory usage issues here?

  • Is There a File Size Limit for Videos from DVDs?

    I copied King Arthur using HandBrake Lite so I could put it on my iPod, but HandBrake Lite, no matter what I try, refuses to copy past 1:20:59 (or 1 hour, 20 minutes and 59 seconds). The version of King Arthur that I'm trying to copy is, however (according to IMDb), 2:01 (2 hours and 1 minute), or as HandBrake Lite contends is 2:05 (2 hours and 5 minutes). These runtimes make a difference, but I'm going to go with what HandBrake Lite says the runtime is.
    As a comparison, I'm also running the copy through HandBrake (which, incidentally, is at least consistent with HandBrake Lite's runtime, which makes my comparison easier). My main reason for running the copy through HandBrake and HandBrake Lite was to see whether the copy would copy past what HandBrake Lite obviously doesn't want to do.
    Before I receive the data from HandBrake, answer me the question that is in the subject. If the answer is no, then why does HandBrake stubbornly refuse to copy past 1:20:59?

    try a differant converter, search iPod converters on download.com
    hope this helps

  • Is there a practical size limit on JPEG format image files?

    I have noticed when working with Photoshop v7.0 on Windows XP that, when creating a JPEG format image file from a very large scanned image (more than 800 Mb, maybe), the .jpg file will usually be saved on disk at any of the possible compression ratios available, without any reported error, yet when the saved file is re-opened, an error is reported - something along the lines of "missing or corrupted end of file marker" - and the image cannot be loaded.
    If before saving the original image is substantially reduced in size, e.g. by reducing the resolution of the image, a viable JPEG format file can be created, which will subsequently load successfully, though technically with data loss.
    This appears to happen only with JPEG format files - PDF format files can be saved from the original image at similar JPEG compression ratios, without error on reloading.
    I do not know if this also occurs with any other Photoshop versions.  I am working with Adobe Photoshop v7.0 on Windows XP, although we are preparing to upgrade to CS (which version I don't know) in the near future, for different reasons to those which are detailed above.
    Does anyone know if there is a technical explanation for this behaviour?  Is there a file size limit for writing viable JPEG files (which Photoshop does not report as an error when exceeded)?
    Thanks

    Where did you get the idea that we weren't doing something about it?
    that's what I gathered from "JPEG cannot [...] in Photoshop (code difficult to replace)".
    But if you say this is in the works right now, that's good news indeed.

  • TFS Preview source control file size limit

    Is there a file size limit for adding large files to a TFS Preview project's source control..?   I would like to add some files to source control that are in the 20-30Mb range and the requests keep aborting.

    Hi Erich,
    Thank you for your post.
    I test the issue by adding .zip file to TFS Azure version comtrol, the size include 10MB, 20MB, 100MB, 2GB, i can add they to version control properly without any problem.
    In order narrow down the issue, here are some situations i want to clarify from you:
    1. What's the error message when TFS azure block the check-in process? Could you share a screen shot?
    2. Which client tool are you using? VS10 or VS11? Or other tools?
    3. Try to reproduce this in different network environment and see what will happen.
    4. Capture a fiddler trace which can help to check the issue.
    Thanks,

  • TS3276 file size limit

    Is there a file size limit on attachments for mail?

    See, for example,
    Base64
    MIME
    Briefly, any file can be considered a stream of bytes. A byte is 8 bits, so there are 256 possible values for a byte. Email is one of the oldest internet protocols and it was designed for messages in ASCII text only. ASCII characters use 7 bits, so there are 128 possible values. An arbitrary non-text file contains byes that cannot be represented by an ASCII character. Instead the file is divided into 3-byte strings. Each possible combination of 3 bytes is represented by a unique 4-ASCII character string.
    Since every 3 bytes is converted into a 4-byte string, that is a 33% increase. For email, the ASCII-encoded data is formatted into lines of text. The formatting adds additional overhead. I’ve always said the net factor is 35%, but the Wikipedia article cited above says the factor is 37%.
    You can see the encoded form of a file in Mail. Open a message with an attachment and select View > Message > Raw Source. Scroll down and find a line that says
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    This is followed by many lines of gibberish ASCII text. That is the encoded file, and that is what is actually sent in the message. The receiving program has to decode that and convert it back into a file.

    Robert,
    There is no limit on the size of the file created using the
    utl_file package. It could be the limitation of the shell
    above which you are working on. You may verify the filesize
    limit of the shell and try it again.

  • Is there a Maximum file size limit when combining pdf files

    I am trying to combine files 8 PDF files created with i Explore using Acrobat XI Standard, the process is completed but when opening the file not all 8 individual files have been combined only the first two have been combined, the process shows all eight being read and combined.
    I can open and view each of the original 8 individual files and read the content without any issue, the largest of the eight files is 15,559kb and the smallest is 9,435kb
    if anyone can assist that would be most appreciated

    Hi Tayls450,
    This should not have happened as there is no maximum file size limit when combining PDFs.
    Please let me know if there are some password protected PDFs also?
    Also, I would suggest you to choose 'Repair Acrobat Installation' option from the Help menu.
