I am trying to put a movie into iweb and keep getting this warning saying that the movie is too large
This is just a general message issued whenever your movie is larger than 10 MBs. If you used the iPod (data rate <1.7 Mbps) or iPhone (data rate of about 1.0 Mbps) preset as suggested by Rick, then your file is already optimized for the duration of the content and you can ignore this message.

how do I go about resizing the movie in quick time, to prevent the page from taking ages to load as the movie is so long
You should probably not have to do this if you used one of the presets and are using a DSL, cable, or better connection. As to the movie taking so long to load, have you set the "Autoplay" option in iWeb. This will add code telling the browser play to begin playing the movie as soon as it has cached sufficient memory (hopefully) for uninterrupted playback.
or is it possible to compress the movie
As Rick indicated, this would normally be done in an application like QT Pro or GarageBand. If you don't already have one of these applications, then you can download the free MPEG Streamclip application, select the "Export to MPEG-4" option, press the "iTunes" button in the window that opens, and select one of the iPod "320" width options. This produces an H.264/AAC file targeted at only 0.7 Mbps.

  • 28 minutes movie too big for DVD!!!

    Hi all
    I have a 28 minutes movie in IMovie that I'm trying to burn on a DVD. Problem is size since the file is over 2G!!
    Can't seem to find a way to shrink this file and since it seems I should be able to burn at least a 1 hour movie on a DVD, how to I do this ?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    Be sure that your settings are for Best Quality and not Best Performance.
    In fact, look at this:

  • The size of my exported FCP movie is too big for DVD studio pro

    Hey,
    I have been editing for 4-5 years now and have never had a problem with size of a project to put into DVD Studio Pro to burn. However, I just finished a 2 hour project in which exported as a FCP movie it is 23.97 gb in size. When i put this into DVD Studio Pro it makes it 4.8gb in size which just makes it too big for it to burn. I have tried changing the compression to no avail and just now decided to clean up the timeline so everything is on one track with nothing overlapping. (The problem was it was a 2 camera shoot so the first camera i had on the bottom track constant with the second camera on the top track when i needed it but still with the first camera underneath.) Do you think this could be the solution to my problem? If you guys could help me out it would be most appreciated!

    some things don't make sense here. please clarify.
    Standard DV is roughly 5 minutes per gig, so that means that you have just about 2 hours of video, ok, got that. Now it's the two track thing that gets me.
    Are you saying you have 4 hours of footage, the same thing from two cameras, and you're trying to set up a multi-angle DVD?
    If it's just that you used two video tracks to edit, then NO, it is not your problem. It's still only 2 hours, the video will be mixed down to one track upon export from FCP to quicktime.
    My suggestion is, instead of bringing a quicktime file directly into DVDSP, use compressor. I believe they have a preset in compressor 2 for a standard 120 minute DVD. IF you're project is truly less than 120 minutes, than that should be fine. If not, then you may have to manually make your own setting and lower the bitrate.
    So the workflow is:
    -open sequence in fcp
    -file>export>quicktime movie... (you can uncheck "make movie self-contained" if you want it to export faster and you plan on keeping your original capture footage around)
    -export your movie to a directory of your choice with a name of your choice.
    -open compressor (in applications)
    -drag the quicktime file you created into compressors main window, this will set it up. Now specify the export setting (120 minute HQ all files either 16x9 or 4x3 dep. on project) and specify a location for the files to be created. I strongly suggest that you use the HQ (High quality) settings in compressor. It's much slower to process, but much better quality.
    -with a 2 hour movie it should take a really REALLY long time to compress, so I'de say do it over night.
    -when compressor is done, you should have 2 or three files. a .m2v file a .aif file, and a .ac3 file. The .aif is your PCM audio, much better quality than the .ac3, which is dolby 2 channel. However, the .ac3 is a much smaller file with a lower bit rate, so if the .aif makes the DVD file size too big, you can switch it out for the .ac3
    -Finally, open up your DVDSP project, drag the .m2v, .aif, and .ac3 into DVDSP and use the .m2v for the video track and either the .aif or .ac3 as the audio (as mentioned above)
    -the good news is, your DVD media is already rendered, so when you go to build your DVD it will go much, much faster!
    By the way, I recommend you go to file>advanced>build do not do a burn and build.
    I find it best to build the VIDEO_TS folder on a hard drive and then use a program like toast to create a DVD (using toasts from VIDEO_TS option). This method also allows you to go back into DVDSP, make tweaks, and reuse your VIDEO_TS folder, not having to rebuild the whole thing each time.
    Remember, 120 minutes on a single layer DVD is going to render fairly low quality no matter what.
    If you have a newer mac and a dual layer drive, you may want to cough up a few bucks and get a dual layer DVD-R, then you have over 8 gigs of space to work with, perfect for HQ 2 hour footage.

  • My iPad standard window is bit too big for the screen.

    My iPad screen unexpectedly got slightly too big for the display window. The size is bit too big. For example, the keyboard when it pops up does not fully display all tkey sans. Another example is the time/power remaining bar slips out of sight.  Did I accidentally change something?  Is this an issue with version of iOS that I am using (4.3.3)? (Note I'm not talking about resizing by using your fingers.)

    John,
    I am having the same problem.  The enlargement is not the same as the 3 finger tap or the 2 finger zoom.  The screen opens and then bumps to a slightly larger screen just enough to make it too big to see the outer edges.  You can put 3 fingers on the screen and move the screen to see the edges but you cannot get it to shrink to the correct size.  This is the second time this has happened to me.  I am also having some other issues.  Sometimes while in an app the app will close and I will be diverted to the home screen.  And sometimes when playing "with Friends games" the letters on the letterboard (not the key pad) disappear, will not move or are giant.  I plan on taking it back to the Apple store this week but I hate the idea of having to start over.

  • NB305 first time setup display too big for screen

    I just bought an NB305-310 netbook  (two, actually, and the first one had no trouble). It came loaded with Windows XP.  When I turned it on I wasn't able to set it up right away, when I came back to it, I found the display of the welcome screens and the setup process assistant is too big for the screen, as if it thinks it has to fill a 15" or 17" screen instead of 10".  So I can't see to click on the "I agree" box or the "Next" button etc., so can't proceed through the setup.
    I already tried restarting it a couple times (by holding down the power key, since Control-Alt-Delete didn't do anything).  I also tried using the function key with various keys that looked like they might affect display size but no change.  Even the volume function keys didn't change the volume of the setup background music that plays.
    How can I fix this?
    Thank you!
    RD

    mini notebook NB305-N310 
    Try this. Press Alt + Spacebar to open the control menu (which may be off the screen) at the top-left of a window.
    Then press M (for Move).
    That will enable you to move the window using the arrow keys.
    When you get the chance, you'll want to go here and reset the screen resolution to 1024 x 600.

  • Best Quality too big for DVD. need help

    Hi,
    I just completed a movie using iMovie. I compressed the movie as a Quicktime file at best quality and it is 6gb. I understand that this is too big for the 4.7gb dvd-r's i have.
    I wanted to know the best way to get my movie to fit while still mainting the best possible quality. This project is very important and i need it to be able to play on a home dvd player tomorrow.
    I'm using iDVD.
    Can somebody please help me out.
    Thank you so much

    Hi Karl,
    first of all: on this forum, my guess is, you are the one with the deepest insight in iMovie (one word: corrupted projects... oops, that was two).
    BUT...
    My job for more then 20 years is communication, advertisement as an example. make the message in less then 8 words...
    Apples says: 60/120 minutes of an iM project fit on a dvd-r.Full stop.
    that is from my p.o.v crystal-clear..HOW is this done? easy: make project, click "iDVD" - BOOM! done... to quote the CEO of a small computer company...
    people buy cars without ANY idea, what ABS, EPS, etc is, besides HOW it works. they use it. full stop. anyone any idea, what happens, when you push the pedal...? ... when the car DOESN'T accelerate, you realize, you have NO clue...-
    funny enough, this forum is CROWDED with people, who don't own a driver's license, but try to explain, the car manufacturer has done big bugs, lots of mistakes, should fix that & this.- you CAN use a car, to boil eggs, iron your shirts and create a painting... but THAT would need a better understanding of how a car works.
    topics which are/can not understood lead to what the behaviorism calls "superstitious behavior" - you do some really weird things, because you believe it has any effect....
    so, sometimes, less knowledge leeds to better results
    (from a communicator's point of view)
    I agree, maybe the "help" files should offer an "expert" mode....

  • 15 minute, 400 meg project too big for one DVD?

    I have a 15 minute video in widescreen format that is about 400 megabytes in size according to the project info.
    When attempting to burn, I am told that the project size is too big for a DVD and suggests I use a dual layer DVD.
    I have over 390 gig available on my 1 TB hard drive.
    I have no chapter markers
    I have reduced the intro clip(s) to less than 30 seconds.
    All to no avail. I am now burning the dvd using Toast, which is perfectly happy using 400 megabytes of my DVD to burn the disk.
    What assets could iDVD possibly be adding to use up the remaining 4 gig of disk space, and how might I view them and delete them?
    I know this is an old topic...I've read lots of posts including one similar to mine. In most cases people are attempting to burn over 1 hour of video. In the one case similar to mine, the person had full length video in each chapter marker (or some such issue). I have none.
    In my case it is a 15 minute video (granted its in HD/widescreen format). Why, with a project size well under the disc size, does it refuse to burn due to size limits? Clearly the project info does not reflect iDVD's actual size requirements for the project.
    Why not?
    Finally, changing to 4x3 is not an option and yes, I have tried changing the compression algorithm from best performance to higher quality, though this is supposedly for video longer than 60 minutes.

    Hi
    Free space only referes to Start-up (boot) hard disk. iDVD can't use any other for scratch files.
    25Gb is my minimum setting.
    15 minutes video - to much indicates that it might have been droped it into iDVD window
    but here landed it into a "button area" - not movie area.
    Recommendation in case of this is to move it out (or start a new iDVD project)
    and in iDVD use the Import function instead. Now it lands where it should.
    And dep on Your encoding choise the movie can be up to 60 or 120 minutes long
    (menu included => simple menu = more movie)
    Other alternative is feeding iDVD strange video formats that can give many
    interesting problems eg .wmv, .avi, .mpeg4 etc.

  • Time machine backup too big for empty disk??

    So I restart my MacBook Pro a few minutes after completing a full Time Machine backup.  When it restarts it goes through the grey startup screen, then gets stuck on the blue screen just  before the desktop normally appears. This happens whenever I startup. I am still able to hit the power button and get the Restart/Shut Down dialog, so I restart using my Snow Leopard boot disk, run Disk Utility, repair permissions, and repair disk, but the problem still remains. I decide to Restore from Time Machine Backup, so I erase my disk (80 GB, had only 200 MB free), go to the Restore screen and connect my backup disk. Now the weird part -- it says my latest backup is too big for the disk, even though i just erased everything, and 74.2 GB show as free. All my previous backups seem to fit fine, but apparently the last time Time Machine backed up more from my disk than can fit on my disk! It seems having a hard disk close to full is enough to render a backup effectively useless.  Guess I'll have to restore from a previous backup, then manually copy the newer files. Just wanted to alert others to this insane problem, so it doesn't happen to them.

    That's likely corrupted your system. You should have a minimum of 10% - 15% free at all times. That's almost certainly why it wouldn't restart.
    even though i just erased everything, and 74.2 GB show as free.
    There must be something else on the drive; if you erase it, it should have just under 80 GB free. Is there another partition?
    Did you erase with a Leopard Install disc or a Snow Leopard disc? If you used a Leopard disc, that might explain showing only 74.2 GB free (it counts differently).
    If so, use your +Snow Leopard+ install disc to do a complete reformat, and try to restore the backup. A Leopard disc cannot restore a Snow Leopard backup. Even the Snow Leopard disc may not work, as it's just too full and/or your system was damaged by getting too full.
    All my previous backups seem to fit fine, but apparently the last time Time Machine backed up more from my disk than can fit on my disk! It seems having a hard disk close to full is enough to render a backup effectively useless.
    Having an OSX drive that full will make your Mac extremely sluggish, cause data corruption and/or loss, apps to crash, etc.
     Guess I'll have to restore from a previous backup, then manually copy the newer files. Just wanted to alert others to this insane problem, so it doesn't happen to them.
    If you can get your Mac running, you need to make several GBs of space immediately.
    If all else fails, reformat the internal HD and install OSX from your Snow Leopard Install disc, then use +Setup Assistant+ after the Welcome video to transfer +*most, but not all+* of your stuff from the backup. Omit the contents of one or more large sub-folders in a home folder (such as Photos, Music, or Movies).

  • Desktop is too big for the display

    Some how this morning while on my Mac a display setting or something was changed. If your on the desktop, with all windows closed, the background, icons, dock.....everything is too big for the display. If you move the cursor all the way to left it will 'slide' the desktop in that direction. Move it all the way to the right edge of the display and it 'slides' the desktop to the right until you reach the edge. Also the same for the up or down directions.
    At first I thought it had something to do with the multi-touch track pad, but I don't think so. I have checked all the display settings I can think of and have tried re-sizing the desktop to all other settings in an attempt to fix the problem. Additionally I have restarted/shutdown the computer totally to see if it would fix the issue. No success. Please help.
    Thx,
    Audioboy

    I had the same problem, but the zoom was already off. So I went under "options" and unchecked "use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom," and that took care of it.
    Thought that might help some others who find this thread.

  • Screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone

    Don't know if this a major problem but its bloody annoying! I've installed os 3.0.1 on my iphone 3gs 16gb and there was no problems, however when I looked at the screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone, only by 1-2mm. I'm able to move the screen either up or down by touch but its annoying, I can either have my signal strength, clock and battery showing or the phone,mail, safari and ipod at the bottom, obviously I keep the top of the screen visible but it wasn't like that before I downloaded that stupid update!! I would rather go back to 3.0 but I can't find it anywhere? any ideas anyone

    Have you zoomed in a little as per p. 187 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    If not, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

    Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

    I have the exact same problem, I think.  I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE.  So big I could only see one or two icons.  I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar.  I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again.  I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them.  I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off.  So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it?  Please help.

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Why does is say purchaseable items too big for download every time I try to download an app?

    Every time I try to download a game or app my iPhone says error message purchasable items too big for download. I even changed my billon information. Anyone know what the problem might be?

    Connect your iPad to iTunes on your Mac/PC and then go to your iPad's summary window. Then click back up if you want to back up your iPad first. After that click restore. Later it will ask you if you want to setup the iPad as a new iPad. Select the option to setup your iPad with your latest back up.

  • A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

    How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
