Large transfer from iMovie...suggestions?

I have about 4:30hrs of home video I pieced together for another family memeber. I thought I was going to be able to put it onto one disc. Obviously (after I finally some research during the project) I can't do that. I have a pack of dual layer (240 minutes) DVDs that I haven't opened yet. Should I just go with about 3 discs...or could I use a flash drive or something else?
IF using DVDs...concerning the 'theme'...I guess I'd have to make the menus and stuff for each disc? I also have a slide show from iPhoto that's about 10 minutes long with music that I'd like to piggy back onto one of the discs and attatch with a 'button' in the main menu.
Thanks for your input....
iDVD---7.1.2
iPhoto--8.1.2
iMovie11--9.0.4

...I plan on splitting the project into 3 discs. There should be plenty of room on the dual layers.
Now...the new problem...
How can I shorten and split my existing project. Other than cut/paste, cut/paste, cut/paste every single clip.

How does one transfer from imovie to fce without loss of quality. Using a panasonic hdc-tm15 full hd 1920x1080

I am capturing my footage on a Panasonic hdc-tm15 full hd 1920x1080 avchd. The format recorded is not compatible with fce so i have to import to imovie first. what export settings do i need to use to ensure i dont lose quality when going from imovie to fce?

It is suggested to output MOV with AIC codec to keep the raw video quality at max.
Output like this: Share->Export Using QuickTime..
In pop-up windows, click Options->in Moive Settings pop-up window, click Settings button->In Compression Type box, choose Apple Intermediate Codec
Good luck.

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.

My itunes music won't transfer from iMovie to quicktime

I really need help. My iMovie works perfectly but I need help uploading my video to quicktime. I can do that but as it is compressing it says my iTunes music is not authorized. It asks to authorize it and i do about 4 times and it finishes. Then i access it on quicktime none of the music works. I've been trying to compress the video in different ways and it still says my iTunes music does not work. Please help me figure out my problem.

I am also having difficulty with this same thing. It says that my iTunes music is not authorized no matter if I use my own imported CDs in the project or songs I have purchased from the iTunes store. I have to keep getting the same songs "authorized" throughout the time I am working on my project. Sorry to say, I have not figured out an answer as of yet. GOOD LUCK! To the Genius Bar tomorrow!!!

How do I transfer all tunes(only some appear in the imovie 11 itunes library) in my itunes library into the new iMovie itunes library? How do I restore all the music (not all added from imovie 9) play in my videos transferred from imovie 9 into iMovie 11?

How do I recover the many imovie 9 projects that did not transfer from imovie 9 into imovie 11? How do I make all of my itunes library accessible to the itunes library in imovie 11. How do I recover those music audio tracks lost in the transfer from imovie 9 projects into imovie 11? How do I add music from my itunes library into imovie 11 projects. Some do and others cannot.

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

Takes too long to convert from iMovie to IDVD

Does anyone know how to cut down the amount of time that it takes to transfer from iMovie to IDVD? A 55 minute video on iMovie takes close to 4 hours to have a finished burned DVD ready to play at any player.

The conversion process is very CPU intenstive and HD intensive. DO you have any other programs running during the conversion time? Free HD is key too. Not for the finished product, but for the scratch space needed during the conversion.
CHeck out istat menu to get an idea of what is doing what when you are converting. Menumeters is another one.. both are free.

How can I transfer video from iMovie 2.0 on iOS7 to my PC without using the share tool?

I'm trying to get a large video (~7.5GB) from iMovie to transfer to my PC for editing. Being that I am using a 16GB iPhone 5s, this seems to be impossible with the share tool (the square with an up arrow coming out of it) because iMovie wants to duplicate the video to either the camera roll or some other medium which won't fit on my device. Is there any way (hack or otherwise) that I can get my video safely to the computer?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Kurt,
The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck.
I think it's best that take this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

How do I transfer an imovie from one mac to another and be able to edit it?

Try connecting the other Mac via FireWire Target Disk Mode (make it the target) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661.
Then open iMovie on your Mac (the Host). Go to File menu > Import Movies > navigate the the movie you want to import from the other Mac and click Import.

Is it possible to transfer Full-HD videos (from a Full-HD camcorder) from iMovie 11 to compressor 4 and create there a AVCHD DVD which can be played in HD quality at a PS/3?

Is it possible to transfer Full-HD videos (from a Full-HD camcorder) from iMovie 11 to compressor 4 and create there a AVCHD DVD which can be played in HD quality at a PS/3?

Yes.
In iMovie use SHARE/Export Movie.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a9e5615
Choose 1920x1080 (or size of your choice.
Give it a name and location.
You can drag this file into Compressor.
In Compressor, use "Create BluRay Disk"
That should work fine.
There is another alternative, where you could skip the DVD and Compressor.
Just SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
Choose Movie to MP4
In Options, choose h.264 as the Codec.
Choose a bit rate of 16000 or less.
Create the movie.
You can then put it on a USB thumb drive and play it on the PS3.

I have DVD's that I made from iMovie. I would like to know a way I can bring them back into a file that I can somehow transfer to my iPad, so I can show movies on it, the iPad.

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Here's one way to install. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do I transfer an imovie from an external hard drive to my macbook pro iMovie 9

How do I transfer an iMovie from an external hard drive to my macbook pro iMovie 11?

The easiest way would be to just attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. iMovie should see it next time you open iMovie.
If you are going for portability, you can attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. Then open iMovie.
Then click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You should see your external drive listed in the Project Library and the Event Library.
To make a COPY just drag the icon for your project to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library List.
To MOVE it, hold down the command key while you drag.
If you want to edit the project, you will also want any Events, Photos, or Music referenced in the Project. To get those, click on the Project to select it (it is now on the MacBook Pro) and click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

How do I export a file from iMovie that is larger than 15min?

I currently made a video on iMovie that I would like to export. However everything I have tried ends with a message coming from iMovie saying the file is too long. I've heard of exporting to quicktime but in the share option i don't see quicktime. I haven't tried just putting a usb in and seeing if i can come how paste it in but i don't think that will work.
Need this for Valentines Day any suggestions would be great!

So early i tried to convert it into a file first and at first it said it didn't work. Then the file popped up, but i couldn't open it and this message popped up "To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.". Which was not useful at all. But after a while i guess it completed exporting and i can now access it as a file. Thought I'd share my experience.

Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError during transfer of large data from SAP to PI

Hi experts,
We are trying to transfer large data from SAP to external system via PI but the transfer stucked in sm58 of SAP system with 'error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError'. We have tested before this and we can only get approximately 100K of records to go through successfully. We neeed approximately transfer 300k datas per time. Current setting of max heap size (in mb) of our PI system is 512 at message server and bootstap tab. At servers general tab the max heap size (in mb) is 2048 and its java parameters are having the values below:
-Xmx1024m
-Xms1024m
-Djco.jarm=1
-XX:PermSize=512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-XX:NewSize=320m
-XX:MaxNewSize=320m
What need to be increased to solve the error?
Thanks.

Thava

Hi Thava,
We can set a limit on the request body message length that can be accepted by the HTTP Provider Service on the Java dispatcher. The system controls this limit by inspecting the Content-Length header of the request or monitoring the chunked request body (in case chunked encoding is applied to the message). If the value of the Content-Length header exceeds the maximum request body length, then the HTTP Provider Service will reject the request with a 413 u201CRequest Entity Too Largeu201D error response. You can limit the length of the request body using the tting MaxRequestContentLength property of the HTTP Provider Service running on the Java dispatcher. By default, the maximum permitted value is 131072 KB (or 128MB).You can configure the MaxRequestContentLength property using the Visual Administrator tool. Proceed as follows:
       1.      Go to the Properties tab of the HTTP Provider Service running on the dispatcher.
       2.      Choose MaxRequestContentLength property and enter a value in the Value field. The length is specified in KB.
       3.      Choose Update to add it to the list of properties.
       4.      To apply these changes, choose (Save Properties).
The value of the parameter MaxRequestContentLength has to be set to a high value.
In short parameters to reset values for ABAP side are
icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB
icm/server_port_ TIMEOUT
rdisp/max_wprun_time
zttp/max_memreq_MB
Parameter to reset values for JAVA side is MaxRequestContentLength.
You can use following link to know more about ICM parameters
