Need help compressing 140 minute video file for DVD+R

Hi folks,
I am self-teaching Final Cut Studio and DVD Studio Pro. I must admit, the manual is not helping me with some key areas.
My first test in burning a DVD was to load a QT file into FCS then burn it to a standard DVD+R. Now, those say 120 minute capacity of course, so I wanted to compress the file.
I exported to Compressor and chose the DV 120 Minute option the first time. When that did not work I tried the 150 Minute option. Since it takes 3-5 hours for the DVD to burn on my new G5 Dual 2.0, that is all I have had a chance to try so far.
Since neither is working, I assume I am missing a step either in Compressor or in loading the file into DVD Studio Pro.
It burns all the way to 99% and then says '127.5 MB needed to complete' or something like that - in yellow lettering. I take it to mean the video file needs to be 127.5 MB smaller for it to work. I could cut a few minutes out, but that isn't the point.
Can anyone please direct me to either a page in the manual or assist me through this forum as to what error(s) I am making?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

What type of audio are you encoding to? If you're using uncompressed PCM/AIFF you're going to have trouble putting 140 minutes of video on a single-layer DVD (i.e. the quality will have to be pretty low). The preset titles for Apple's settings are calculated based upon compressed Dolby AC-3 audio -- not uncompressed PCM/AIFF. Thus, the so-called 150 minute preset will only produce about 120 minutes of capacity if you are using uncompressed PCM/AIFF audio.
If you want to put 140 minutes of video with audio on a single-layer DVD you're either going to have to use Dolby/AC-3 audio or create your own custom preset to use with PCM/AIFF audio.
However, if you are using compressed Dolby/AC-3 audio (only) then you may just be seeing an inaccuracy in Apple's preset targets (size). In that case just lower the target or average bitrate slightly so that you can fit your 140 minutes on the DVD. Just make a copy of Apple's 150 minute preset and tweak the bitrate slightly down (since that preset seems to be getting close to your target).

Need help in writing the control file for SQLLOADER

Is it possible to error out the Sqlloader in case the data fields in the data file for a row are more than the fields stated in the control file?
i.e. My data file is something like
aaa,bbb,cc
dd,eee
And my ctl file has just 2 columns in it. Is it possible to write a control file which will cause the Sqlloader to error out?
Thanks...

Need help getting ipod/phone videos onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player

I have so many videos on my old ipod and my two iphones. I need to get them onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player because they are all the videos I have of my kids when they were babies(bad I know!) So I bought iLife and have iDVD and a macbook pro laptop. Would anyone be willing to write step by step what i need to do to get them onto a DVD as I am very new to all the technology these days. Thank you so much in advance

First you need to get them onto your Mac. Use image capture and download them to a folder on the Desktop. Next, you need a video DVD authoring program. IMO iDVD is the best.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the download movie files into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. Some themes will only allow 6 items per menu, including sub menus, others up to 10 I believe. Sub menus can always be added to add more movies to the project. This is an example of a project with multiple slideshows/movies and menus:
IMPORTANT: iDVD is not concerned with the size of the media files in regards to what the iDVD disk can hold. All that's important is the total playing time of all of the movie files including the menus. A single layer DVD disc can hold up to 120 minutes of playing time. A double layered disk 240 minutes. IMO it's best to go with multiple single layered disks.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How do I compress a mpeg2 video file in Premiere CS5.5?

Hi there,
I need to compress a mpeg2 video file from a little over 4GB to be less than 2GB in Premiere CS 5.5, is this possible using media encoder?
If so, what are the steps?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Elio

If you can tell us your intentions it will be easier to suggest a solution. What is the intended purpose of this new file? If for computer viewing, then outputting at 720x480 might be an issue since most players are going to show that file as 4:3 rather than the intended 16:9, since it would be "anamorphic widescreen".
You might need to export at 854x480 using square pixels (1.0 PAR) to get proper display on playback. But again, tell us your goals and we can narrow the suggestions
Thanks

Drivers? You need a program to run them such as K-Jams. Then you will need to check your connections from the laptop to the monitor and make sure your settings are correct in System Preferences.

Best quality export - need to make a small mp4 file for website

Hi there - I need to make a short video clip for a website - the final version that I send needs to be 340x192 and 1mb per 10 sec. The clip is 200 seconds so it should therefore not be over 20 mb. The original footage was shot on an EX1 camera.
I exported the video as a full quality Quicktime mov file. I then used mpeg streamclip with the following settings:
Export to MPEG-4
Compression: H.264
Quality - 100%
Limit Data Rate: 1400 Kbps
Frame size: 340x192
Frame Blending: checked
Better Downscaling: checked
Deinterlace video: checked
The image looks terrible ... wondering if there is a better way to do this?
Any suggestions much appreciated!

> The image looks terrible ... wondering if there is a better way to do this?<
The reduction ratio you are attempting is almost 400:1, +-10% or so. Just so we're clear, the HD image is more than 2,000,000 distinct pixels in every frame, your frame size is about 68,000 pixels. That's 1/30 of the original size so, even before you add the quantization of the H.264 compression, you are throwing away 29 out of every 30 pixels that appeared in the original image.
I should imagine the quality is going to look horrendous, not merely terrible, compared to the original.
H.264 adds compression artifacts by averaging temporal and spatial differences, further diminishing the literal quality. You tend to see H.264 as better than, say, MPEG2 because the artifacts inherent in the processing are hidden better.
So that's the arithmetic because I can't tell if you understood that, forgive if you already know that stuff. Let's move on.
What do you think is "terrible" about the resulting movie?
What do you hope to improve?
You have very few choices. You cannot improve the resolution because of the outrageous scaling you are performing. You cannot get much better than H.264 to disguise this type of operation. You cannot increase the bitrate because of your server limitations.

Converting Video Files For Windows Premiere Elements Editing

A client has given me a couple of dozen videotapes, about half MiniDV and the other half VHS-C. He's also given me a 1TB external hard drive.
He would like the drive returned with a single unedited video file for each tape loaded onto it. He will then edit these tapes in Adobe Premiere Elements on a Windows PC, and ultimately burn DVDs.
I have the necessary equipment to capture the contents of all of these tapes into FCP, but I have two questions.
First, what should I convert these files to? I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those, and storage space shouldn't be a problem; all the footage is SD, of course.
Second, I haven't connected the drive he's given me yet; if I need to format this drive for my MacPro to use, will my customer then have problems accessing the video files? Or, is there a proper way for me to format this drive so that the files will be readable when he gets it back?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

It's never a good idea to capture on a different NLE than the one which will be used for editing. It can cause all sorts of compatibility problems. There are even issues going between FCP and iMovie -both Mac applications.
I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those,
Are you *absolutely sure* about that, given that a PC based NLE typically works with avi files?
As to your disc formatting questions, you can download the [NTFS-3G driver|http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com> which will let you read, write and even reformat the drive as NTFS on the Mac. All reasonably modern PCs work with this disc format and you won't run into the file size limitations associated with FAT formatted drives.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
     In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile

          public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
          Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.

How do I compress a huge flash file for a web banner?

Hi there,
I am having trouble figuring out how to compress a huge flash file for a small web banner. I have 3 jpeg sequences (lowquality) that are used as background animations and the swf file is now over 900kb. I need a file under 200 or even 100.
thank you for your attention,
Ayka

The only way to reduce the size of the file is to reduce the sizes of the content it has. If you go into your Flash Publish Settings and choose the option to generate a a size report then it will publish a report that will let you know how the weight of the file is distributed and you can focus on eliminating that weight from there.

As has been mentioned, you need LabVIEW professional or higher. (If you only have base or full, you need to buy the application builder extra).
Building an application is as easy as selecting "tools...built application or shared library", and specify the desired source VIs, built settings and installer settings.
All diagrams and unneeded front panels are removed. The process is thus irreversible and you cannot recreate the original VIs from the application.

Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air (iOS7)

Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air

Oh, okay. After selecting the format I want to send, it says "creating... ". Then irrespective of the format I choose the message e.g. "creating spreadsheet" disappears, and so does the choice window (where I earlier chose Mail). I am taken back to the Numbers (or Page) where I had started from. Diavonex's note indicated that after "creating ... " stage I should be taken to an option where I can type in email address where I want to send the file, if I want to copy it to another address etc. I cannot arrive at that page - no matter whether I am working with Pages or Number, or which format I choose for the file to share !
I will try to close as you have suggested and try. However, I have switched on and off several times by now, but nothing changed!
Will look forward to any ideas to solve this !!!
Thanks much!
