Maximum Length of Movie in iDVD

A friend has 4.5 hours of VHS video that he wants me to put on two DVD's. Will that much fit in iDVD?? I can't find any specs from Apple. What is the time limit?
It used to be about an hour.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1 GB RAM

The total time on a DVD is 2 hours. But the actual amount is less due to menus, effects, etc. You'll have to split the video into three DVD's if you are going to use iDVD.

Maximum length of movie

I have just barely under 2 hours of video that I have imported into iMovie. For best quality should I make this footage into 2 separate iMovie projects and burn on 2 separate DVDs (the video lends itself to being divided at the 1 hour mark), or will I be okay having a 2 hour movie in both iMovie and iDVD? Thank you for any help.

Yes, 2 hours is the maximum length of a single layer DVD (iMovie has no such limitation), but that includes menus, transitions, titles etc.
In iDVD:
Best Performance is for movies of up to 60 minutes.
Best Quality is for movies of 61 - 120 minutes.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

What is maximum length .mov file that can be used in iDVD?

Hello Appleheads
I created an HD .mov file in iMovie which I had added as a movie in iDVD - I find this works best for me, as exporting directly to iDVD from iMovie always results in stuttering when played back on a regular DVD player.
The .mov file is 2 hours and 14 minutes long, and 10.5GB
Am I right in thinking that the maximum length is 1 hour and 39 minutes? And does the size (GBs) have any bearing.
Many thanks - Brion

Hi Brion
Gbs or Mbs - doesn't play any role what so ever.
Time does - Time is = Movie duration + MENU DURATION
(a complex menu can easily take 15 minutes or even more)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (vers 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.

Maximum Length Moviein iDVD?????

What is the maximum length movie that iDVD can handle?
is it based upon duration or file size.....or both?
I have a 3.8GB 156 minute movie I am wrestling with and I am wondering whether I need to split it
thanks

I'm not an expert, but I think I can help.
It's file size, but that will be dependent on the length of the video, the quality you at which you are encoding and the aspect ratio. The other major factor is whether you are using a single or double layer DVD (4.2 or 7.7 GB). Go to the Project Info in the Project menu and look at the options and how full the bar is. It's pretty self-explanatory. (If you change options, you'll have to re-encode.)
The only other hints I can give are, make sure you have loads of free space on your hard drive. I had issues until I cleared off some space. My most recent changes were correct and saved in the project, but were not on the final burned DVD even after re-encoding the entire project. I think that I had 20+GB free for a 4.2 GB DVD when it worked right. Also, before you make multiple dupes, check the first DVD to see that all the menus, slideshows, audio and video work as expected. I know of someone who burned 20+ dupes of a project where the everything worked on the menus and slideshow, but the main movie had no audio. (Dohhh!)
Good Luck.

How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?

How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?
I made a sellection of video clips > pressed on "share" > on iDVD > after one hour of formating the message was under "project duration" : "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window."
I have edited out some of the clips and waited anothe hour or so bu the same message appeared !
I want to know in advance how long can be the video clip sellection for the quality of video chosen ( the best before HD).
please help if ou can.
thank you very much indeed.

It's trying to tell you to change the encoding setting:
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality.

Variable length field exceeds maximum length for VARRAW

Hi All,
I am trying to load some signature ascii data from load file. so i wrote the code like below in my controal file to load that to database. For SIGN_IMAGE in oracle db it was mentioned as RAW(2000). The below is worked fine when i tried in window and oracle 8i environment.
SIG_TYPE POSITION(23:23) CHAR,
SIGN_IMAGE POSITION(24:1977) VARRAW(2000)
NULLIF SIGN_IMAGE=BLANKS,
SIGN_IMAGE1 POSITION(1978:3930) VARRAW(2000)
NULLIF SIGN_IMAGE1=BLANKS
But when i ported the same thing to solaris and oracle 10g environment. The below code is giving error when SQL Loder loading.
The error is like : Variable length field exceeds maximum length.
But here i am giving a lenght of 1954 only with including 2 bytes length of the string.
Could any one tell me what is exactly the problem? i am not able sort out the issue.
Thanks,
Shashi

You should probably move this question to the General Database Discussions. This forum is for Oracle Forms not SQL:*Loader.

Should I compress our FCP4 project or drag our QT movie to iDVD?

We're relativity new to editing and have completed a project in FCP4, which is 50 mintues in length. We rendered the project and then made a QT movie.
We believe we need to now compress the project in FCP prior to dragging it into iDVD for completion...is that correct? or should we just drag the completed, self-contained QT.mov into iDVD and be done with it?
If we don't compress in FCP, will there be a degradation of quality?
We tried using the standard compression settings in FCP; 60 min high quality for video and 44.mhz for the AIFF audio files...it ran all night and nothing happened?
Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Randy

You can drag that self-contained file to iDVD. That works well. You can also use reference files if you want to save disc space. There shouldn't be any difference in quality.

Need Time Estimate for Rendering Movie in iDVD

Hello.
I am a brand new Mac user and have recently finished a 45 min. movie in iMovie. I simply want to get this movie onto a DVD so that I can share it with friends and also watch it on a TV. I'm running into trouble, though.
I've gone through the process of importing the movie into iDVD, and have selected an option that reads "One step iDVD from Movie" from the File menu of iDVD. iDVD then went through and compressed the images in the movie, but has been "encoding audio" for the past 3 or 4 hours. Is this normal given the length of the movie? I'm not sure at this point if the program has simply stopped responding (I checked the Activity Monitor, and it DOES say that iDVD is not responding, however the computer itself seems to be working -- the drive is spinning and the fan is on). Or is there a better way to get my movie onto a DVD? I just read about the DVD image in another thread, so perhaps that was the right way to go about this?
I am doing this on a new 2GHz Macbook with 1GB RAM.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fun2Sail

Thanks for responding, Sue.
You were right. I let iDVD run overnight and this morning it had created a DVD with VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. Now, I just have to figure out whether this DVD will automatically play in a TV's DVD player (and also how to get it so that Winodws machines can view the video).
If anyone happens to know the answers to these questions, replies will be much appreciated. I'm not a movie-making or an apple afficiondo by any means.
Thanks again, Sue, for your quick reply.

Sharing More than One Movie with iDVD????

Okay.. I would like to know if there is another way to burn MORE than one movie an iDVD project. It seems that sending the movie straight to iDVD creates it's own project, and when you try to send another movie, it creates a completely different project. I know I can send a movie to Media browser but the quality of the movie is much better when I share it via the command in iMovie 09 (Shrare->iDVD). I've noticed that the file type is different when you send it to iDVD than when you put it in Media Browser as well.
Currently this is what I do.. Share it to iDVD.. Then I save that iDVD project to my desktop. I close iDVD, and start sharing my second movie. I then Control-Click on the first iDVD project and choose "Show Package Contents". I then dig into the trenches of that file to find the movie file. I then drag it to the desktop and delete the first iDVD project. When the new iDVD project gets made, I simply drag the file on my desktop into the iDVD project I want it in and then it works. This seems like a so un-apple way to do this though. I think iMovie definetly needs and update here. It's great if you ony want to burn a 1 movie to iDVD, but what if you want to do more. There should be a way to select multiple movies to send to iDVD or the option of adding a new imported movie to the current project in iDVD.
Am I missing something or is there another way to do this? Is there a good export option in QuickTime? DV doesn't work because the quality I get is horrible. Somehow the shared to iDVD movie is the best quality and it's a QuickTime file via h.264. Is that my best export option? Sharing with the Media browser creates a mv4 file that's much smaller in size, even at the largest setting. The frames are more jumpier when iDVD finishes with it than the h.264 file.
Any better suggestions? Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple. I can't find it anymore on this website.

Q:Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple.
A: Launch iDvd and then scroll down to Provide iDvd Feeback.

How do I move an iDVD project to external

I recently upgraded to iDVD '08 and see that now, one of the output selections is iDVD, meaning it goes straight to that. When this is selected, it automatically begins creating the file as opposed to asking where you'd like to store it. It ended up in my documents on my HD. I figured no worry, I'd just move it over to my ext HD since it was over 2GB. But when I did this and tried to open it, it said 2 files were missing. So, couple of questions. First, I remember with the last that you just output a file that you then, yourself, dragged into iDVD. This seemed very easy. But with this way, it seems to automate it. How can I output so that is does it the old way, where it generates a file that I can place in iDVD myself, and that I can store on an external. Second, if that's not possible, what files do I need to locate to move to the ext, where do they hide, and where should I store them?
Why do they make what was perfectly easy, hard?

If I understand you correctly, you are actually asking two different questions.
1. Do you mean that with iMovie 08, when you select to 'share' your movie to iDVD that iDVD opens a new project automatically?
You do not have to use the output options in iMovie. Just close your iMovie and open iDVD yourself, choose to create a new project, select a theme, then go to the Media tab, then 'Movies,' locate your iMovie and drag it onto iDVD's main screen. Be careful not to drop it into a menu Drop Zone.
2. You also would like to have your iDVD project saved to a different location than the default 'Documents' file. When you open iDVD and create a new project, you will see a dropdown box showing Documents as the save location. You can change that right from that drop box.
However, it is recommended that you save your project on your computer's drive, not an external drive. The iDVD application itself must run from your computer. Some users have successfully created and burned projects located on other drives, but many have run into problems.
You can certainly save your completed iDVD projects to an external drive by doing a 'save as disk image' from within the iDVD project. This will look like the burn process, and take just as long for the encoding, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. The disk image file is a self-contained file that is an exact replica of your iDVD project. It can be moved without losing the ability to burn DVD disks from it in the future.
Remember that an iDVD project itself should be thought of as a container that has references to media files used in it, but it does not actually CONTAIN the media files. When a DVD is burned from an iDVD project, iDVD locates the needed media and copies it for the burn, doing this for each disk burned. Sometimes there are burn 'glitches' where the first DVD disk burns fine, but others may not. Also with an iDVD project, if you rename, move, change or delete any of the files used in the project, iDVD will be unable to locate them and will not be able to open properly. With a saved disk image file, you can safely delete the original iDVD project and the original iMovie, thus saving drive space.
Burning DVD disks form a disk image file using Disk Utility or Toast is a better way to burn DVD disks since the files are all encoded in the disk image file and do not have to be copied in each time.
Please post back if any of this is not clear, or does not answer what you need to know.

I am not seeing why this would be failing.

HI,
the problem is delimited data defaults to char(255)..... Very helpful I know.....
what you need to two is tell sqlldr hat the data is longer than this.
so change notes to notes char(4000) in you control file and it should work.
cheers,
harry
