Is there a size limit on importing avi files in PE4?

My attempt to import a 4 Gb avi file from an external hard drive is blocked by a generic failure. One of the suggested reason do not apply, namely the file (.avi) IS supported. Yes, it may be damaged, but it plays perfectly outside PE4. Or 'one of the necessary components may not have been installed'--if so which one?
Does anyone have a similar experience, and/or a solution.

I found DigitalMedia Converter years ago. I liked it so much, that I bought a copy for each of my computers (rather than just have one running it and using the LAN to move files about). I have an upgrade discount certificate, but have not yet upgraded my copies.
The things that I like about it are that it's quick, has "batch conversion" and that it does NOT install any CODEC's, but it uses all that I have properly installed. It works 99% of the time, just perfectly.
The only issue that I have ever encountered are with Duration and PrPro. Sometimes, the DV-AVI Type II's will Import into PrPro, but their Duration will not be correct - maybe 01:40:00 out of a 30:00:00 real Duration. My workaround for this behavior is to just Import the problem file into PrE 4 (in my case), and immediately do an Export/Share to DV-AVI Type II. I know, that's the same exact format/CODEC, but now, PrPro sees the correct Duration perfectly. Why? I have no clue. I have tried everything that I could to find out the differences, to no avail. The files show exactly the same in G-Spot and also spec out as identical in DupeFile Finder. Still, there has to be some difference, and PrPro picks up on that, and does not recognize the correct Duration. PrE 4 always has. This is extremely odd, as I can batch convert 4 parts of a file with the same exact CODEC, say DivX, and 3 of the 4 will have the correct Duration in PrPro - 1 will not, until I use PrE to "correct" things. Some day, I will find out the "why," but until then, I have an iron-clad workaround - PrE!
Hope that this helps. Also, many sing the praises of some freeware converters, like Prism, but I have never tried them. I'd looked a dozen others, those many years ago, and then found DMC and never looked further.
Good luck,

  • Is there a size limit when importing videos?

    Is there a size limit when importing videos into iTunes (8)? I have a 4+ gig video file I'm trying to import, but when I drag/drop it into the movies, nothing happens. It works fine with smaller files.
    thanks

    ah I see something in other forums about a Windows size limit of 4 gigs, so I guess that answers it.

    In fact NeoOffice is now in the Mac App Store for $9.99.

  • Is there a size limit on importing Mpeg 4 clips?

    This is so strange as I have never had this problem before.I am trying to import a Mpeg 4 clip and all I get is " file error, unkown file". The clip is 45 minutes and other shorter clips are able to import.
    Is there a max on the length of clip I can import, not capture but rather import?

  • Practical maximum size limit of imported XSD files

    Can anybody tell me if there is a kind of upper limit on the size of XSD files that can be imported into XI and used without problems?
    I have seen a comment before that states XI will 'choke' on large XSD files, and that enumerations were recommended to be left out of the file if there are a lot of them and it is possible to do so.
    Also, if the same XSD file is used in many scenarios. is it loaded into memory once, or many times?
    BR,
    Tony.

    Use a JAVA memory profiler in your Netweaver J2EE instance. Run the scenario where it use the XSD structure and XML file. Look for the classes from SAP's XML processing related JAR files and see how profiler is reporting about these class object usage.
    I am also seeing two different ideas getting mixed here in this thread.
    An ideal class load into the heap and usage of a another properatory system to handle large processing are different ideas.
    XSLT mapping and XSLT engine is a framework which use JAVA heap. However  the Queues used in context with an XSLT mapping in XI is a properatory approach to efficiently handle multiple operations in a mapping process efficiently, so we have to differtiate both aspects of large size file we can handle in a Java engine.

  • Is there a size limit to a MoH file?

    I am in the process of loading a MoH file using CCA. The customer's files are close to 40Meg!

    Hello,
    This is from the CME CLI Admin Guide: Configuring Music on Hold
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmemoh.html
    MOH file buffer size must be larger than the MOH file (size) that needs to be cached.
    You can configure a max file buffer size (per file) anywhere between 64 KB (8 seconds) to 10000 KB (approximately 20 minutes), Default moh-file-buffer size is 64 KB (8 seconds).
    Note A large buffer size is desirable to cache the largest MOH file and a better system performance.
    From that you can take that the maximum file size should be no larger than 10000 KB.
    I've found some other posts that suggest there is no file size and another that states it is recommended to have the file less than 500Kb. You are also bound by the size of the compact flash on the UC, which is 256Mb. Space on the compact flash is also utilized for the IOS, phone loads, locale, and support files.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3088035#3088035
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/282667
    Some of my colleagues have also suggested that the file be no larger than 1Mb.
    Another way around any size limits, is to use the external MoH port.
    Also, it sounds like you need to configure your audio file in the right format, because it would be a really long audio file at that size in the correct format
    A music file must be in stored in the router's flash memory. This file should be in G.711 format. The file can be in .au or .wav file format, but the file format must contain 8-bit 8-kHz data; for example, ITU-T A-law or mu-law data format.
    Here is another thread that shows how to convert the audio file to the correct format: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2112263
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a size limit on the iPod for the song database file ?

    I have been running into the same issue for the last 2 weeks: Once I exceed 110 GB on my iPod Classic 160 GB, iTunes is no longer able to update the database file on the iPod.
    When clicking (on the iPod) on Settings/About, the iPod displays the wrong number of songs. Also, the iPod is no longer able to play any songs.
    Is there a size limit for the database file on the iPod ?
    I am making excessive use of the 'comments' field in every song that I load to the iPod. This increases the size of the database file.
    Is there a way, that I can manually update the database file on the iPod ?
    Thanks for your help !

    did you experience some crashing of the ipod as well? do you know how many separate items you had?

  • Is there a size limit on internal HD? iBook G4 1Ghz

    Recently bought a used 12" iBook G4. Of course no installation discs came with it.
    When received it had a 30 Gb hard drive, 528 mb RAM, and 10.3.9.
    I wanted to max out RAM, increase HD size, and move to 10.4.x.
    (Additional background - I have various other Macs and can use Fire Wire Target Mode from any of them to the "new" iBook.)
    RAM upgrade successful. I borrowed install discs from a friend with a similar though not identical machine; his is a 1.33 Ghz. When I removed the old HD and replaced with a new 160 Gb drive, the Install discs did not see the HD. So I took the iBook apart again, put the new drive in an OWC external enclosure connected to my Powerbook G4. Saw that the drive needed formatting, duh, I did so. Put it back in the iBook. Started up from the install disc, it still did not see the HD. Started the iBook in Fire Wire Target mode; could not see the newly installed HD from the other machine either; all I could see on the iBook end of the Firewire was the CD/DVD. I have looked through various threads here related both to iBook HD replacement and to system upgrade concerns - nothing I find matches my issue.
    I have since reinstalled the original 30 Gb HD, have used the borrowed installation discs to do a clean install of 10.3.x (so the similar but not identical was close enough) and a retail 10.4 Install to upgrade the system. So, 2 out of 3; I have my expanded memory, a clean upgraded system. But I hate to give up on a bigger internal HD!!!
    1. Is there a size limit on the internal HD on the iBook? Is 160 Gb too large, and should I try again with a less aggressive increase? I do have a 60 Gb I could pull out of a PB G4 I will probably sell...
    2. If size is not the problem, it seems that maybe it would help if I somehow pre-install the system onto the 160Gb before I physically put it into the iBook. But I do not understand the whole process of making bootable backups etc. Is there a way I can copy my current installation, or do a reinstallation of 10.3.x or 10.4.x on the 160 Gb while is is external, connected via Firewire, and then swap the 160 Gb into the iBook and have it just boot up? I see hard drives for sale in eBay "with OS X 10.x.x already installed..."? I tried, both from my Powerbook and from the iBook to do an Install onto the 160 Gb while it was attached via Firewire. The PB didn't want to have anything to do with those iBook Install discs. The iBook wouldn't allow me the option of doing an Installation onto the External drive. And I assume that a simple Select-All-and-Copy isn't going to do it for me. So how do I install onto the drive while it is external, and will it work once I move it into the iBook?
    3. Probably not important, but out of curiosity... if I could use my Powerbook G4 Installation discs to burn a new system onto my 160 Gb drive (when it was connected as an external to the PB), and then put that drive into the iBook, would that work? Or would iBook vs. Powerbook differences throw off the installation?
    Thanks!

    Shiftless:
    Is there a size limit on the internal HD on the iBook?
    The only limitation of HDD size is due to availability. The largest capacity ATA/IDE HDD available is 250 GB. Theoretically there is no limit to the capacity your computer will support, if larger capacity HDDs were available.
    If size is not the problem, it seems that maybe it would help if I somehow pre-install the system onto the 160Gb before I physically put it into the iBook.
    This is not necessary, although you could do it this way. I note in your later responses that you have already attempted this process and have some difficulties. Here is the procedure I would recommend, after the HDD is installed.
    • Clone the old internal HDD to an external firewire HDD. I gather you have done this.
    • Format and erase the newly installed HDD (directions follow).
    • Install new OS from disk or clone back from external HDD. (Post back for directions if you choose to install from this and then restore from backup).
    Formatting, Partitioning Erasing a Hard Disk Drive
    Warning! This procedure will destroy all data on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure you have an up-to-date, tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
    • With computer shut down insert install disk in optical drive.
    • Hit Power button and immediately after chime hold down the "C" key.
    • Select language
    • Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
    • Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
    • Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
    • Click on Options button
    • Select Apple Partition Map (PPC Macs) or GUID Partition Table (Intel Macs)
    • Click OK
    • Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
    (Note 1: One partition is normally preferable for an internal HDD.)
    • Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
    • Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    • Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
    • Select Erase tab
    • Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
    • Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
    • Click Erase button
    • Quit Disk Utility.

  • Is there a size limit to how many emails in Mail?

    Is there a size limit to how many emails in Mail?
    I have recently converted from MS Outlook 2007, where the maximum storage is 20 GB.
    Is there any such limit in Mail?
    In other words, I currently have 30,000 inbox emails and 20,000 sent emails. Together, my Outlook PST file is 2 GB. Would Mail prevent me in any way, or could I keep as many emails as my hard drive will permit?
    I thank you all in advance for any thoughts and/or suggestions.
