Limit On Disc Image Size?

Running Mac OS 10.4.11 on PPC PowerMac G5...
Say that I have roughly 40 GB of data spread over 9 DVDs. I would like to create one password-protected disc image to hold all this data on my external 250 GB hard disk. I made a read-write disc image and copied 3.43 GB from the first DVD onto it. When I came back several days later and attempted to copy the second DVD contents, got the error message that one of its folders could not be copied for lack of space. The image had been set to 3.43 GB size by the initial content.
Is there a way to create a read-write disc image set to a large value and then copy into that image piece-meal? And for that matter, is there a size limit on disc images (i.e. ".dmg" files)? I don't want to make 9 disc images, and I would rather not password-protect the entire 250 GB hard disk.
Thanks for reading!

Klaus1,
The disk is formatted as a HFS+ (journaled) disk. File sizes are not a problem; it's disc image size that is the issue.
I would like to make a read-write disc image that is large enough to hold around 40 GB without putting all that data in when the .dmg file is created, i.e. would like to add stuff into the image over days or weeks, closing it in between adding data. Is there a way to do that?

  • Image size limit

    Hi all,
    is there an image size limit in JSP ?
    or any setting I have to change in TOMCAT 3.2 ?
    I have a problem to load a image at size 550 x 60. When i change it into smaller size, there is no problem.

    Hi
    I tried reproducing the error but I was able to load much larger images also. Could you check to see if the file name is correct including the extension. Sometimes even the file extension can be case sensitive.
    What OS are you using. I tested Tomcat 3.2.3 on both Solaris 8 and Windows 2000.
    Let me know
    Good Luck!

  • Way to limit image size on uploaded images?

    Hello! Is there a way as administrator that you can limit image size for uploaded images? (Like in Contribute) Thanks so much

    Hello mikkiblaes,
    There isn't a way to limit the size of an image that is uploaded in InContext Editing, but there is a built-in file size limitation of 2MB. As the InContext Editing Browser help states:
    Once you've inserted the media element, you can resize the asset by dragging the resize handles around it, or by changing the width and height values in the Media toolbar. (Make sure the asset is selected when you do this.) To maintain width and height proportions when you resize, make sure the lock option is selected. (It's selected by default).
    This type of feature has been requested a couple of times:

  • Still image size limit?

    Is there a pixel count limit for still images one wishes to use in iMovie '09? I want to do a long Ken Burns from top to bottom over a piece of art around 10,000 pixels tall.

    I couldn't get the tall image (10800 pixels tall--a credit roll) to even enter the timeline. So I shrank it to 7200 pixels tall and it did enter the timeline and I could do a looooong KB move. It animated okay, but the image of the letters was fuzzy junk. There must be some unpublished internal limit and it would be nice to know what that is for more normal KB moves...

  • Disc image and mounting question .

    Disc utility - file - new > blank disc image . Save as ( so so ) . Volume name (so so ) . Volume size (4.5 gb dvd-r/dvd-ram. ) . Volume format ( mac os extended journal ) . Encryption ( none ) . Partition (cd dvd ) Image format ( spars bundle disc image )
    I do this and I get two icons on desk top . One looks like the hard drive symbol and will say so so .sparsebundle . Then under it is an icon that looks like an external cd player or the like . And will say the image name under it .
    When I open the image icon and put my files into it I close it and burn it to dvd . After it is finished I try to open it and it says it cant be mounted . So I tried the hard drive looking one just above it and nothing . So I could eject the icons but not the dvd . She says I should try closing application and try again . Cant find anything to close so I restart and can eject the dvd then . I put it back in and same thing so I restart and get it back out . Now I start all over a new and just before I burn I leave the folder open and click edit select all the file the burn selected items to disc and vwula every thing
    s ok .
    Now after you have read all this , my question is (1) What is the top icon for ?
    (2) Is this normal ?
    (3) Can I keep asking questions like this to learn my mac . I do search the forums and they are quite helpful Thank you for your time .

    Plymouth Horizon,
    I will do my best, First Why are you making a sparse image and then burning? To Me this seems like extra work. What you can do is make a Burn Folder, add the things you want burned and then burn it. It will add Icons for the stuff in it with an alias Icon but it will burn the file not just an alias. I personally only use the images when I want to secure something with a password, or store files I've downloaded.
    I would say that its normal, in the case that your making the image on your desktop. The reason you have the two 'Icons' is one is the image and the other is the mount of the image. Think you downloaded a .dmg file you have the file in your downloads folder and the icon on your desktop, you trash them both to get rid of.
    And you are more then welcome to keep asking questions here, that is what these forums are for.
    Hope that helps,

  • Copying a disc image

    I created a disc image from iDVD to burn a movie. All that worked fine. I put the disc image on my desktop. I am now through and would like to copy the image to an external drive for archive. I keep getting "error code 0." I have tried several different methods to accomplish this with the same results.. Please help. thanks.

    The size of the disc image is the source of your problem. A drive that is formatted as FAT32 cannot contain a single file that is more than 4GB in size. You need to split the image into smaller pieces or reformat the drive in order to copy the disc image to it.

  • Burning From  a Disc Image Problems??

    I recently purchased iDVD 5. The best feature in the new iDVD for me is the ability to save my projects to disc image which lets me keep just the disc image on my hard drives with a file size of roughly 3-4 GB. This saves me a TON of space as I was having to save all of the self contained movie files along with the DVD projects in order to burn more copies for my clients in the future.
    My concern is that burning these extra copies of my projects for my clients with disk utility is not as "solid" a way to create DVDs as it would be to simply burn all the copies I may need directly from iDVD.
    Is this true?
    Also, I have never been able to verify any disk that I burned from a disk image using disk utility. These disks play fine on my new Sony DVD player, but I have had some complaints from clients that the disks skip and don't play perfectly.
    What could be causing this problem?
    If I can play these disks on my home DVD player even though my computer can't verify the burn, should I be concerned?
    Is the inability to verify a problem with my burner?
    Pete

    Len,
    Others have had the verify "problem." I NEVER verify.
    Really? Then I don't need to verify? My burning process goes to this automatically, I think. How do I stop it?
    BTW, I did install Tiger, no problem, installed FCE and made a very short movie, only one transition, no added audio, but burned with iDVD just great! It takes some adjusting, but I am getting the hang of it, and it hasn't been too hard to learn yet
    I think I will use iMovie--> for my photos/videos to DVD projects for a while, but when I get to mostly videos and all digital photos, I think I will go back to FCE (or whenever I have lots of time to be REALLY creative)
    PS. I'm SURE you ARE younger than I am! I'm like Old Toad...we're older than dirt!

  • Error-29, Cannot burn a DVD or save a disc image from within FCPX using Mountain Lion

    Really stumped on this one.
    Running Mountain Lion, freshly downloaded version of FCPX, on a 2009 MacPro with 16 G RAM.
    Trying to share a 4 minute movie I edited.
    - No problem exporting as a quicktime move...worked fine
    - Big problem trying to either burn a DVD, save a disc image, or export to an Apple device.
    The progress bar gets about 90% complete, and then it stops and a message window comes up that says:
    There was an error burning your disc. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error-29)
    Thoughts?

    From Crash Analyzer:
    DSPPublishing error -29 (Final Cut Pro X)
    This error can occur when burning a disc if your menu has incompatible assets.
    Suggested Actions
    If your menu has a background image, make sure the image is not too large. Try reducing the size of the image and saving it as a JPEG or PNG.

  • I'm trying to get the image to print correct size.  i've tried center image, fit to media image,  and they all come out the same size...smaller than the size in "image size".  is this an Epson problem or Photoshop problem.  Thanks!

    I just got a new printer...Epson R3000...but have had this problem before.  It's probably a simple fix, but I can't figure it out.  I'm asking for printing on 8.5 x 11 and the image comes out 6.5 x 9.5 every time.  Help please!  And thanks!

    The Epson site stated that the R3000 printer can print borderless however the quality will suffer in the expanded print area. Borderless is not supported on some heavy paper.  To me the means your better off limiting you images size to the standard print area. There will be magins about 1/8" on the four  sides so the print area on 8.5"x11" paper is 8.26" x 10.76"....
    Take note of the print size set by the epson driver it may change depending on the paper type set. Note my first epson 4800 setup where I set 8.5" x 11" sheet paper from tray into the printer setting the driver set a smaller size for the paper which was reflected into the Photoshop Print preview. It shows paper is 8.499" x 10.999 with a small unprintable area across the top....
    Paper
    Use paper under normal conditions:

    Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any non-Epson brand or type of paper. Always test a sample of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.

  • This is about the still image size changing from what I see on the computer monitor and what the burned DVD shows on the TV

    I have Prem.El 12 and have used PE4 for years.  I have a new PC that runs Win7Pro.  The still images on the computer monitor are within the "safe margins".  The still images after the movie has been burned to a disk are MUCH smaller on the TV screen.  Is this an issue of 16:9 vs 4:3 ratios?  My TV is 4:3.  Can I tell PE12 to make the movie a 4:3?

    retchemteach
    Although I have seen your post of today in my Inbox Email Notifications, that post has not yet appears in this thread. It will probably will sooner or later. But, to keep things moving along....this is a copy of what I am seeing as your message of today in my Indox Email Notifications
    Thank you for your patience in the time it is taking me to get back to you.
    I am still trying to buy some DVD-RW discs and will hopefully do that in a
    bit.  Meanwhile, I have more info for you and some simple (I hope)
    questions.  If you want to insert your answers, that would be fine.
    My camera (for stills and video) is set to the 4:3 ratio.  It is capable of
    being set to a 16:9 ratio if I wanted to do that.  I looked in its TOOLS
    menu and saw this info.
    My TV is definitely a 4:3 TV.  (I measured it with my tape measure and
    divided W/L to get 1.33)  The TV can show a 16:9 movie and just adds the
    black bars on the top and bottom.  Question: What will my old 4:3 movies
    look like on a 16:9 TV whenever we buy one of those?
    It seems to me that I want to set PE12 to the NTSC DV Standard you
    mentioned.
    I do NOT know how to “size your photos so that each has a 4:3 aspect”,
    unless you mean doing that in Photoshop Elements, which I know how to do
    (*see below)
    I had NOT considered that I would need to watch the preset for the
    ‘Publish+Share’ step; so that’s good to know (I copied and pasted your info
    for later use).
    BTW, years ago when I had difficulties with my XP computer working on PE4
    (had only 2 GB RAM), an Adobe tech told me to resize my photos * to have a
    720 pixel width (the height would be automatically adjusted) to lower the
    file size to something my computer could handle without crashing.  (That
    was back in the good ol’ days when Adobe support would actually talk with
    their customers and try to help them in the first month)
    My new computer has 16GB RAM.  Do you think I still need to reduce file
    size?  One does lose some sharpness in the resizing process…..however,
    these videos I’m making are travelogues and are for a fun way to view pics
    and videos of a trip…nothing Earth shattering….and just a hobby to keep me
    off the streets.
    I truly appreciate the time you take to help me (and others).  I was even
    tempted to try to install my old PE4 on my new computer just to be able to
    enjoy my hobby again.
    My reply to the above....
    1. If you camera is giving you 4:3 photos and your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then leave
    the photos as is unless you have a lot of photos and each has pixel dimensions sizes way over 1920 x 1080 pixels that are giving your computer resource issues. If you have to down size them because of computer resources, then copy the photos to a computer desktop folder and also create an empty folder on the computer desktop.
    a. Photoshop Elements Editor, File Menu/Process Multiple Files.
    Process Files form Folder
    Source - browse to and select the computer desktop folder with photos to be resized
    Destination - browse to and select the empty computer desktop folder
    Image Size
                 Check Mark Next To Resize Images
                (no check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
                Type in Width = 1000  (set units for pixels)
                Type in Height = 750 (set unites for pixels)
    File Size
               Check Mark Next to Convert Files To
               Set for JPEG High Quality
    The above should work fine for a NTSC DV Standard project with a burn to DVD disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD (4:3 video).
    2. With regard to the TV Set and 16:9 video....when you have the DVD-player attached to the TV, do you have the opportunity to bring up a display of menus with
    controls for Picture and Aspect Ratio? From what you have written so far, it looks like the answer is no. I am not sure how your TV DVD
    player will handle 16:9.
    Best do a mini test run
    1. Project preset set manually to NTSC DV Widescreen (please refer to post 1 link)
    A few photos sized for 1600 x 1200
    In the Premiere Elements project, use the Safety Margins inner rectangle for text placement
    Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
    See what that looks like on your TV DVD player.
    If you discovered that your current TV DVD player can be set for a 16:9 display, then I have a preferred workflow for
    NTSC DV Widescreen which typically gives best possible results. Hints of things to come.
    Please review and consider. Thanks for the follow ups.

  • How do I change the image size in Save for Web?

    I just upgraded to Illustrator CS6 on a PC.  I try to save my graphic in Save for Web and want to alter the image size, but it won't change,  it just goes back to the original size.  If I change the percentage box, the values change.  I have tried linking and unlinking the proportions and nothing.  What am I missing??  I don't have time to guess the percentage to get to the exact width I need. 

    Make changes in the Image Size section of the Save for Web. Input new values in Width and press Tab key to move to Height field. Click on the Link icon to unconstrain proportions. As you press the Tab key again to go out of focus of the Width and height boxes, you will see the changes reflect inside the Save for Web window. If this doesn't work then make sure you have updated Ai to 16.0.1 or 16.1.0 depending on the type of installation (from Disc or from Creative cloud) respectively.

  • Image size limits in Apeture?

    Is there a limit to image size in Aperture? There's no mention of any in the Aperture manual that I can see.
    I've created a number of panaoramas (upto 27382 x 2000) in Photoshop CS3 but they get corrupted after importing into Aperture. I just get a blacked out preview or a red box containing the message "unsupported image format" despite being PSD files. They won't import into iPhoto either.
    Screenshot here:
    http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/Marsdy/Aperture.jpg
    The files appear perfectly in Adobe Bridge.
    TIA.

    No image size limit is known.
    By the look of things, you have a 54Mb file size. I have a significant number of 250+Mb scans in Aperture and it handles them ..... with an occasional "unsupported image" if I go back and forth selecting different images a number of times. It even allows me to compare 2 x images ..... over 500Mb of image data. I also have numerous 90-120Mb PSD's as well.
    However, when I get the "unsupported image" which I know is untrue as they are all TIFF's, I cannot get Aperture to re-render correctly without quitting and relaunching. It suggests Aperture when processing drops a thread and decides an image is unsupported and marks for the session as such.
    It could be that you are running in a slower environment or from a slower hdd, which seemed to make my symptoms more frequent.

  • IDVD can't create disc image

    I posted this in the iDVD forum and it was suggested that I also post it here, since its an FCP movie.
    (I use Final Cut Studio 5) Here is my iDVD post:
    (I have searched iDVD for solutions and have tried all i could find, as you'll read below, but still nothing worked for me, .....)
    I made 3 movies in Final Cut, exported them as stand alone movies. (This is the way I have done it in the past)... one is 43 minutes 16:9, one is 43 minutes letterboxed, other is 9 minutes 4:3. They had chapter markers in them.
    Created an iDVD project, widescreen format. Added the movies ( both by dragging and dropping and by 'add movie' command) and created a slideshow, with added audio.
    I 'Save as disc image' so i can burn several copies. This I have done a lot of times, in the past.
    Since Friday last, every attempt has given me an error: Multiplexor Error ...There was an error during muxing preparation (Project conversion) is the most common one. (I don't know how to access Terminal for more details)
    I have tried:
    • I first encoded at Professional setting .... error message
    • changed the encoding to High (to fit all three movies) ... read here that the Multiplexor error was due to the app not calculating the size right ... same error
    • removed the plist ... same
    • moved files off my hard drive for more space ... same result
    • removed the letterboxed movie to decrease size: same error
    • chapters: idvd did not recognize the FCP chapters (never had this problem before) so added ones in iDVD ... same error
    • removed idvd chapters... same result
    • went back to FCP and removed the chapters and re-exported the movies .. same result
    • change encoding to Best Performance (only 2 movies and slideshow now) ... same result
    • changed the theme ... same
    • removed the theme's audio... same result
    • reinstalled idvd ... same
    • brought the movies into iMovie, added chapters and exported (as QT movie to DV stream) ... same error, and the chapters disappeared again
    • saved the dvdproject in the Documents folder on my hard drive (thought this would do the trick as it had been on an external) ... same error
    I don't know what's left to try!!
    I'm doing all the things that I used to do but am having no positive results . The only thing that I have changed since the last dvd I made (a year ago) is upgrade to Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    Can anyone help me ... please? This is a commemorative project that is needed for an association's archive, so I can't not do it. I'm just at my wit's end and don't know what other measures to take. (other than use DVD Studio, and don't know how!)
    Thank you
    Elizabeth
    Added FCP info:
    movies were exported using QT conversion
    Format: QT Movie, default settings
    Options: size: NTSC 720x480 4:3 (for small movie)
    Settings: Best; Keyframes Automatic; H.264, 29.97 fps; no internet streaming.
    For 16:9 movie: same, but Size: Current (630x354)

    .... so when you all were telling me to use Compressor and DVD Pro, I went to the local McNally-Robinson and checked out the resources there.
    Found a Mac Genius book on FCP, which lightly touches on compressor, and an Apple Pro training book on DVD Pro 4, which also touches a bit on Compressor but gives specific instructions on settings to get me started (and which i have since experimented with).
    So I naturally bought them and have been reading in steps and then going to work. (That's why i haven't replied to you: wanted to be able to give you a report.)
    Since last week I have
    • compressed 2 movies, and recompressed the main one several times to fine tune the quality
    • made a dvd pro project (and 'saved as' in various versions and configurations) that has:
    • a 16:9 video with chapters, added in dvd pro
    • a 4:3 video with chapters( Dvd pro) converted to individual stories
    • a slideshow
    • a folder added to the dvd-rom with the photos used in the slideshow
    • an intro menu with my own livetype generated background movie (also used in the video)
    • the dvd template used changed to 16:9 instead of 4:3 aspect
    • 3 chapter menus for the 16:9 movie
    • a story menu for the 4:3
    • background music, different for different menus
    • remote control connections, for the tracks and the menu (that all work) (except for one problem that I have posted in the DVD forum)
    • built and formatted a few of the configurations to make disc images that then played in dvd player (but haven't burnt to disc yet as i am waiting to solve the final 'menu' button problem)
    Haven't done scripts or layered menus, or subtitles yet, and none of my work uses alternate angles, but i think I've got a fairly good handle on this now. And I think I'll use DVD Pro and Compressor from now on .... they're great and DVD pro is much more able to be individualized.
    I still need to experiment more with Compressor, tho', and to learn more about the compression codecs.
    (I don't like the quality of the Livetype segments in the 'send to QT' option form FCP, they're blurry. And the 'using Compressor' videos have nice crisp text, but there are residual lines in the edges of things wherever there is movement. I always set the Motion Estimation as 'best', and 2 pass VBR Best, and in the last one I tried, i set the Average bit rate at 7.6, max 8.9 and the GOP to IBP, size 7.
    Doesn't seem any different from the others, just a teeny bit larger in size. But i'm happy with it for now, no more time to tinker with this part on this project.)
    So thank you all for your help, and i will now start posting any problems with this (or any other) project to the other forums. (but I'll check back here again in case you have another bit of advice for me
