My movie is too large... what do I do?

Right now I am building a movie for my friends of our summer together. We basically did everything together, so I had a massive amount of media I wanted to put in the movie.
Now that I'm almost complete with the movie, I can see that it's going to be over the 4.0 GB limit of iDVD!
Right now the movie is only at 3.7 on the capacity meter, but it definately will be over that by the time I am finished.
Please help me out... is there any way of fixing my situation? Do I have to buy larger capacity DVD's? Change the capacity in iDVD? Compact the movie somehow?
Assistance would be more than appreciated. Thank you.

Will the French patch make everything in iDVD read in French?
No, the website is using a localized French iDVD (that is why it is in French), the patch only changes the code to allow the selection option for 4GB/8GB (see iDVD 5.0.1: Burning Double-Layer DVDs ) Note: I believe some people have no success with the patch in Panther, I know it works for me with Tiger.
How do I burn the disk image once it's compacted?
If you going to use Toast, it is quite straight forward, it is in the user guide when you get it. If you want to use Apple Disk Utility application, here is the instruction: Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X.

Movie file too large for iDVD

I have a 13GB .mov file created using FCE Exported w/QT Conversion (prior it was a 30GB file) but it's still too large to place on DVD using iDVD. Is there a way to (1) Shrink my file size to be compatible with iDVD or (2) re-set iDVD to accept larger file sizes (I don't use dual layer discs)? If the answer to both of those is no, is there a specific DVD conversion software that is more versatile than iDVD? Thanks

The length in time is what's important for burning to DVD, not the input file size. With iDVD you can burn a video up to 2 hours in length on a single-layer DVD-r (but that capacity includes your DVD menus, titles, etc.)
Assuming your source is DV video, your original 30GB file is about 2 hrs 20 mins long. You will either need to shorten your video to less than 2 hours, or cut your video into two segments and burn it to 2 DVD-R's (one segment on each DVD-R).
Compressing the way you did by exporting to QT Conversion is only going to make your video look worse and doesn't solve the length issue - you still have a 2 hr 20 min video. After you fix the length of the movie, you should export to QT Movie, and UNcheck the option for "Make movie self-contained".

My Mail library is too large, what can I do? Multiple mac owner...

Hi,
I have an iMac and a brand new MacBookPro, which has a very small hd (128gb SSD). My Mail library is larger than 30gb! Now I want to slim it down but I'm afraid to make a mess...
Given that:
1) On my iMac I can keep the entire library, I have no archive problem due to the sets of very large disk I can count on
3) Basically I want to erase the library ONLY on my MacBook in order to have more room on the 128GB internal HD which I need for my work on the go
2) My mail accounts are connected to 3 gmail accounts...
My doubts:
1) I'm afraid that If I erase the library on my MacBook Pro, Mail begins automatically to download the erased mail messages from the gmail accounts.
2) Does erasing the library on my MacBook Pro mean to erase also the one on my iMac? I don't think so...but I wanna keep myself on the safe side
3) Is there any way to set a size limit to Mail library on my MacBookx
Yes..it seems complex but I'm sure someone out there has all the answers I need!
Ciao
Nico

- If the Gmail accounts are IMAP one then if the library is erased and then you use the account old email will be redownload
- Easing the library on the MacBook does not effect what is on the iMac. On the other hand if you deleted the messages in the Mail app on the MacBook then they will deleted from all devices.

HT1577 Movie is too large and is taking too much time. How do I cancel?

How do I cancel a movie which is taking all my GB for the iPhone hotspot?

That true...
I have solved my problem invokeing setFetchSize on ResultSet object.
like ResultSet.setFetchSize(1000).
But The problem sorted out for the less than 1 lack records. Still I want to do the testing for more than 1 lack records.
Actually I had read a one nice article on net
[http://www.precisejava.com/javaperf/j2ee/JDBC.htm#JDBC114]
They have written a solutions for such type of the problem but they dont give any examples. Without examples i dont find how to resolve this type of the problem.
They gave two solutions i,e
Fetch small amount of data iteratively instead of fetching whole data at once
Applications generally require to retrieve huge data from the database using JDBC in operations like searching data. If the client request for a search, the application might return the whole result set at once. This process takes lot of time and has an impact on performance. The solution for the problem is
1. Cache the search data at the server-side and return the data iteratively to the client. For example, the search returns 1000 records, return data to the client in 10 iterations where each iteration has 100 records.
// But i don't understand How can I do it in java.
2. Use Stored procedures to return data iteratively. This does not use server-side caching rather server-side application uses Stored procedures to return small amount of data iteratively.
// But i don't understand How can I do it in java.
If you know any one of these solutions then can you please give me examples to do it.
Thanks in Advance,

HD movie file too large in FCE

I finished my first movie in FCE and it is about 4 minutes long. When I exported into .mov format, it is 2.4GB in size! When I exported out to .mpeg4, it is about 10meg, but the quality is poor. Some of the clips were done in HD format. How can I export this video into a manageable size with good quality?
PS - will eventually export to youtube, but would also like to publish to DVD with good quality

Try a forum search for exporting to iDVD and web export. There's a lot of information here.

Movie too large via imovie and no sound via idvd.

Help! I have a movie on a minidv tape that is one hour and 21 minutes long.
This is a very important tape and I dont want to delete any of it.
I don't understand why I can't create a dvd (which can hold a 2 hour movie).
If I use idvd it captures the video but there is no sound.
If I download it via imovie, then try to create a dvd, it tells me that the movie
is too large. How can it be too large if the movie is less than 2 hours and should be able to fit on the dvd.
Can anyone help this beginner. (I just bought this g5 yesterday).

Hi
iDVD 6 should be able to make a DVD disk with 60 min or 120 min movie +
menu.
Can it be so that Your menu are to complex (or when added together results
in more than 120 min)
Sounds can be tricky and iDVD can count in sounds that You thought be out-
side Your movie (stretching out after the video ended). If So re do the sound
part of Your movie and be carefull that no audio cont after the movie is ended.
In iDVD: (strang but it is like this)
Best Quality is for movies + menus more than 60 min and less than 120
Best Performances for movies + menu less than 60 min.
Yours Bengt W

Error when executing IDB: "bind(): Result too large"

I'm trying to use USB debugging in the iPad, as per this guide:

Accessing that file (or any other from the above list) gives same/similar error. The wording differes from command to command, but basically it's the same thing (read error, or result too large, or both combined). For example:
$ cp IMG_0187.jpg ~

Not sure what happend there. But ATV only streams, no HD so if you leave it too long, the whole download gets lost.
Check with iTS.

Whats going on when after i have put my new project it tells me that cannot burn because my encode it too large for DVD

I am trying to convert a video into a dVd i did one and it will not play on my blueray, but, at least it will do on my computer. Now i am trying to do a different dvd and it tells me after i have downlowed my new project, that i cannot burn the idvd because it is too large check my encoded?

The reason why your DVD will not play maybe your choice of disk.
Was it a DVD + or DVD - ?
Always use a good quality DVD blank disk, at least Verbatim and check what format your player will play.
Next, to achieve the best quality export from iMovie, Share your Project to Media Browser.
Then open iDVD and use the media button (bottom right) to import your movie.
A possible reason that you are getting a too large error message is the time length of your DVD.
The default setting in iDVD for Encoding is Best Performance (60mins) and you need to change this to either High Qualirty or Professional Quality which will allow more to be encoded on the disc (120 mins).
iDVD > Project > Project Info > Encoding to change this setting and see on the Capacity slider if your project will fit.
Otherwise check how much free space you have on your HD.
Z.
PS Slow your burn speed down to x4 for error free results.

H.264 compression gives gradients hard edges, lossless filesizes are too large for uploading, whats

When I've rendered a HD movie from After Effects CS3 with lossless animation settings the quality is beautiful and crisp but I want to upload my videos to sites like Vimeo so that I can use them in my website http://www.splurj.com and the file size is way too large (in the region of 6GB).
When I've rendered the lossless video using H.264 compression the filesize is great but it losses quality. The colours become slightly saturated and any gradients have a hard edge.
Can anyone tell me the best compression software (or way of rendering direct from After Effects) to maintain quality and reduce filesize significantly?

>Can anyone tell me the best compression software (or way of >rendering direct from After Effects) to maintain quality and reduce >filesize significantly?
As per the others' suggestions: Export a Photo-JPEG encoded file from AE, then use external tools. Additional programs not yet mentioned include ProCoder, SUPER©, TMPEG Enc., but QT Pro would be a good investment to start with and probably the cheapest solution to the immediate problem. It also provides additional ways of embedding extra info in the clip and adjust a few problems post-encode, if necessary.
>With AE, since the "next" frame doesn't really exist yet, it can't
>possibly provide the best compression.
That's a bit oversimplifying the case. If exported via the specific MPEG-2/MPEG-4/H.264/FLV writers, the frames will be buffered in the writers themselves until valid (sub-)GOPs can be written. The only thing it doesn't do, is to analyze beyond the bounds of such a packet, hence the efficiency of the underlying algorithms is impaired. And of course it depends on what you plan on doing with the stuff. Even with its limitations, the process works quite well for DVD/BluRay work for instance...

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies on to my thumb drive and WD My Passport external hard drive. My Mac keeps saying "can't be copy because it is too large for the volumes format

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

Error message when uploading book for printing. All images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large to upload? What size is required and how do I reduce size in Aperture?

I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?

Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.
