Need to get a too large project onto a DVD

I have a 9.5 GB iMovie 6 project that I need to get to a video editor, and because of the size, I cant get it on a DL DVD. Short of manually splitting it in two and burning each to a DVD, is there any other way I can get this project out? This project was made in iMovie 6, but I have iMovie 8 also available.
I was afraid that if I just manually split the project, that the export would bring what is in the timeline as well as what is in the clipboard. Or do I need to split, make a copy and then delete 1/2 (and empty trash) for each half of the project?
Thx

Hi tcwaters - you need to explain more clearly what you are trying to do. Is the editor a person or a piece of software, or a piece of hardware?
What editing is required beyond what editing you do in iMovie itself?
You can share each half of your project to a full quality Quicktime file. This will get rid of unused clip segments, but will of course embed any transitions, titles, effects etc. Some editing would still be possible however.
You could copy your movie back to DV tape and send that off to your editor (if a person).
Get back to us.

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

I need to burn a Final Cut pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn one just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD?

I need to burn a Final Cut Pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn a project just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD? ( oh and how can I finalize the project?) Thanks!

I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

How do I create a shared library from iPhoto when the file is too large to burn on DVD?

I need to remove some photos (70 GB) to relieve a full hard drive. I have exported and burned .jpg images on DVDs, but that is only useful as a worst case backup. What I would like to have is a separate iPhoto Library for each calendar year of photos, so I could still view them in the albums and folders I have created to organize them. I have done this before in an earlier version of iPhoto, and was able to create 2003 iPhoto Library, 2004 iPhoto Library, etc. I put a copy on DVD (the full year fit on 1 DVD) and another copy on an external drive.
I am having problems doing this with iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2). The iPhoto library for each year is too large to burn on DVD. When I select certain albums from the year that will fit on DVD and use the Share>Burn commands, it creates a library with Events and Faces, but none of the albums are listed on the left. The albums are important to organize the photos for viewing (birthdays, vacations, holidays, etc.) I didn't always pay attention to labeling Events when I imported photos, so that is not an adequate alternative to my albums.
I was thinking that if I could create a library for the entire year, it might include my albums and folders. I would have space for this on my external hard drive. However, I can find no way to create a library for the entire year and put it on my external drive - the only option is to burn a DVD or export .jpg images.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best suggestion: Buy some external USB or Firewire drives. Move your Library to one, back it up to another. A lot more reliable than DVD, a lot less work and much more convenient. For a start, you don't have to break up the library...

How do I burn an iMovie project onto a DVD?

I have recently completed an iMovie project, and I want to burn the project onto a DVD. I have exported the project and burnt it, but it only opens with iTunes and Quicktime, and I was hoping to play the movie on a DVD player. I am desperate and need assistance ASAP !!

When in iMovie, click Share then iDVD. In iDVD you can customize your dvd menu. After you are done, then click File, Burn DVD or ⌘+R. And it will ask you to insert your blank disk and then it will start burning. After it has completed the burn, it will ask you if you want to make another disk (if you want multiple copies). Your movie should then be viewable on any DVD player.

HT201109 When I download my Final Cut project onto a DVD 3-4 photos are continually repeated throughout the presentation. If played back via the computer there is no problem

When I download my Final Cut pro project onto a DVD about 3-4 photos are continually repeated throught the presentation. If I play back via the computer this does not happen. It is the same photos repeated. I have taken loop off from view. Any assistance ?

I have two projects one with DVD and photos and the other just photos. The DVD is 20 mins and the photos just 8 mins.
I have tried to burn from the share dropdown menu ( DVD ) in FCXP and also tried download to media browser then used DVD creator to produce the DVD but the problem exists with both actions. I deleted the repeated photos from the presentation but another 3-4 different photos repeat. I hope this makes some sense .
thanks salty777

Putting multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD

I was wondering if there was a way to put multiple iMovie projects onto one DVD using iDVD?

actually none of those options worked probably since the movies were in IMOVIE2
Ah... You didn't say it was an iMovie 2 project. iMovie project is different from iMovie HD.
I want to store the image file from the dvd's off site as I don't have the space to archive the projects - it seems I can't do that as it copies over to the server but shows up as a 4kb file - any suggestions how I can do this?
I might be wrong (since I don't have iMovie 2), I assume iMovie 2 has the similar QT "reference" movie as the iMovie HD. This "reference" movie is not a "self-contained" (a QT term) movie, i.e. it only has instructions of the makeup of the "real" movies. You cannot use it to archive. If you want to offload your movie from your computer, you should copy the entire iMovie 2 project folder to an external archive.

Burning a disc but getting a too large for current selected disc media mess

Trying to burn a project on to DVD (4.7g disc) but I keep getting a message that says "Compiled project is 2835.4 MB too large for currently selected disc media. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Isn't 2835.4 MB around 2.8G. I'm confused! Should'nt this fit. Any help would be appreciated

Hi
To fit that lenght in a SL DVD you must use Compressor to encode your video and audio before importing in DVDSP. You can take the standard DVD High Quality 120 min preset and use the MPEG2 and AC3 (Dolby 2) settings, then use those files in DVDSP.
If you are currently using DVDSP as encoder, you'll get AIFF uncompressed audio what takes a lot of disc space and bitrate.
Hope that helps !

A mate has an iphone 4 as a work phone and needs to get all data incl messages onto an old iphone 3 as he is leaving. Is this possible, any help appreciated

You won't be able to restore a device running iOS 4.2 from a backup of a device running iOS 5 (as you found out). And the Iphone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 so there is no way to migrate from his iPhone 4 back to his iPhone 3G. He would have to at least have an iPhone 3GS, which will update to iOS 5.1 and would be able to restore from the iPhone 4 backup. Unfortunately, there isn't any way around it.

Freezes on publish - too large project

(sorry for my English)
Flash Catalyst cs5.5 is freezing when iam trying to publish or run the project.
Sometimes there is a message:
"Flash catalyst cannot publish this project because it is too large. Try removing one or more media assets from your project and try again"
When it is not fully animated it works with no problem but when everything is animated-all links it frreezes on "Run the project" or "cant publish.." on Publish.
With 7 main menu links animated and 13 submenu (component) not animated it works
With 7 main menu links animated and 13 submenu (component) animated it freez, program not responding.
Iam on Mac OSX 10.6.8 but the same happens on Windows 7 64bit.

Getting Error "too large to archive" while using Tar

Dear All,
I am getting below error while trying to use TAR to acrhive multiple files in one file:
<FileName> too large to archive
The file is of size 2 GB (there are other files with same capacitiy but i am not getting any error for them). Here is waht i am trying to acheive:
(1) Create one tar file from all files in a folder (using tar)
(2) compress the tar file (using compress)
(3) copy the compressed file to the tape (using tar)
One more question, when i use compress (or gzip) command, it create comressed files but original files are not preserved. For example; if i use compress for files a.txt & b .txt it creates a new file (say ab.Z) but removes the files a.txt and b.txt. Is there any option (or any other command) using which i can comress the files without getting them removed?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Robert,
Thanks for your help. While trying to create tar file using gtar i am now getting below error:
No space left device
So appearantly i don't have enough free space on my file system on which i am trying to create two questions:
(1) Is it possible to compress the tar file resulting from gtar in one command (tar file creation + compress). I don't want files get removed after compression.
(2) Can we directly write to Tape Drive using gtar? Will the size of file resulting from gtar will be same as that of total size of all files or it will be less?
regards,

Computer crashed, need to get music off my ipod onto new harddrive. Is this even possible anymore?

My computer crashed and I got a new hardrive. I need to get my music off my Ipod Touch 4th gen onto my new computer...is it even possible anymore?

For iTunes purchases:

Computer died. Now have new one. Need to get music off of ipods onto new compouter. How?

Old computer died. New computer, Installed iTunes on Windows 7. Have iPods in family. Want to get music back from iPods onto computer. Can't figure it ouit. Should not be this hard. Did manage to get purchased downloaded apps. Just can't get music. Any way to do this?
So far, apple help *****. They want money. Docs don't seem to say how to do it. iTunes just wants to wipe out iPod and replace current contents with nothing.

Launch iTunes on the new computer.
From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer

Fitting large project onto DVD

Friends,
I have a project at that is 4.9 gigs at high quality. How do I shrink it down to fit onto a 4 gig DVD. Maybe the answer is obvious but I am becoming increasingly frustrated. I am sure all of us have been there a time or two. So in short, how do I change the bit rate?
Please help.
-Jon

Also use Compressor to export your audio file from an AIFF to an AC3 if you haven't already. This will ensure bit-rate compatability and also shrink the file size.
If you're looking for a quick fix you can still build from DVDSP then use Popcorn to fit it onto your DVD.

Urgent help need to compress 4 hrs of footage onto 1 dvd

hi people any one know the settings i will need to compress 4 hours of footage onto a single layer dvd? the footage is of a seminar so not much action but will still need best quality possible have been using compressor 2 and got a complete head ache as lowest settings state i can only fit 174 minutes on a dvd that coupled with the compression times of over 185 hours at times. so im gonna re install compressor 1.2.1 and try again with that
but any help would be greatfully appreciated
cheers

If it was me, I'd be looking at using BitVice to create a half D1 file... pretty much half the file size, and by most people's accounts a better quality than MPEG1. It works by reducing the horizontal resolution - the DVD player re-sizes the footage and there is pretty good reproduction.
Any encoder that can create the encode at 352x576 will be OK, but I know Bitvice will and have used it to do so. Since the file sizes are smaller for the same bitrate, you can fit twice as much footage on. You can easily get 4 hours of Half D1 onto a DVD-R.
Have a look at this graph to get more of a feel for how the different resolutions can work. I don't necessarily agree with all of the info there- the notion of 'fair' quality and 'good' quality being subjective terms and not always applicable to all source types or motion types, etc... but it's a good starting point nonetheless.
