One hour 25 minutes won't fit on a single layer

Hey People,
Using Toast 7, I get the error that 1:25 min. won't fit on a single layer Verbatim. ???
It is an export from FCE with lots of editing if that makes a difference.
iDVD is not much use; it spits out blank disks during multiplexing stage but pretends to keep burning,
a common problem I know but I have never been able to fix it.
Thanks for any insight,
Al

Hi
This is my notes on first part - From FC to iDVD (or Toast™)
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Is it possible to compress a disk image to fit on a single layer DVDR

I have created a disk image from one of my iDVD projects and its about 5.7Gb. I was wondering if there is a free program out there to compress the disk image so I can fit it on a single layer DVD-/+R? Thanks in advance for the help!

I don't know much about free software but Roxio Toast has a Fit to DVD option I often use for this same purpose that works rather well.
Also, after searching google, I did find this one link which may help you. I've never used it myself so I'm not completely sure of how well it will work but it may help you.

Help fitting project on single layer DVD.

A little confused on how this adds up.
My DVD size is 395.4MB with all my menus, and AC3 audio with NO VIDEO.
When I add my video, which is 4.08GB to the timeline, my project goes up to 4.9 GB. Shouldn't it be around 4.5 total? Does DVD studio only add up what's in use in the assets window?
Thanks!

Factor in the size of the audio of your movie, if you have not already.
Keep in mind that if you use any of the stuff in the palette - shapes, buttons, etc. - DVDSP will render motion mpegs for the entire duration of the menu, even if the background is still. This may also be the case if you use DVDSP to composite multiple photoshop layers in the background.

How do I fit a 129 minute project into one 120 minute DVD?

Hi,
I have finished a 129 minute project that I would like to fit on one DVD. If I use iDVD I will probably need the project length to be around 100 minutes. I can't shorten the project itself to less than 129 minutes.
What are my options? I have heard that there is compression software (Toast?) that can put the crunch on a large video. Will this software save my chapter markers in FCE which I set for iDVD? I really want to use iDVD to finish and burn my DVD.
I know that Final Cut Studio has Compressor but the new version doesn't come out until mid-May and this project is due in ten days.
I read on the Apple site about QT codec H.264. Is that an option? Will that codec work with FCE and iDVD?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

Take a look at Video and image formats that work with iDVD6. Compressor is not normally a tool that you would use between FCE and iDVD. iDVD prefers DV as input. Compressor outputs MPEG1 & MPEG2 neither of which is accepted by iDVD; and as for H.264 and MPEG4 they would not be good choices as input files to iDVD - you would be recompressing from an already compressed file format back into MPEG2; bad for quality. And despite the fact that Compressor provides more encoding controls than iDVD, you are still looking at basically a 120-minute limit on a single-layer DVD almost regardless of compression settings unless you set the bit rate so very low that you wouldn't like the results. If you want to give Compressor a try, you'll need DVD Studio Pro or another DVD authoring solution, not iDVD.
I still think you only have 3 choices -
- cut enough material so it will fit on a single-layer DVD
- split your movie onto 2 DVDs
- go with dual-layer DVD media (and of course you'll need a burner capable of burning dual-layer media)

Chapters and Play all - how do I get this to work with a one hour project?

Hi
I have a one hour project and at the moment I have it in one track with a Main Menu, Chapter menu and a bridge menu for the loop point.
I have 5 chapters and want 2 functions to happen in my DVD structure:-
1. the Play All function
2. and the Chapters to play each individual chapter and then go back to the Chapter menu when it;s finished.
As my project is now, the play all feature won't work, it is like it's the CHapter menu.
In the past I've had a track for the play all and then separate tracks for each chapter. Is there a way around this - do I have to do that fancy encoding (which I have no idea how to set up.
I have 5 chapters and would love some help to construct this as I don't think the 2 hours would fit on my single layer DVD and it would be a lot more exporting work.
Hope you can help.
Cheers
Margie

You may want to use scenarios in this situation.
click the "add a scenario" button, an add as many scenarios as you have chapters.
Then double click on each scenario option.
You will see a list of chapter appear on the left of your timeline area.
Drag the chapter you want to play solo to the empty list on the right ("scenario markers").
Make sure you then select that chapter marker in the scenario Marker list, and choose "end jump: main menu". Also make sure that your gobal scenario end jump is set to your main menu too.
Then link you buton to that scenario and repeat for the other chapters.
hope that helps.

What is the best Compressor settings for burning a 2 hour DVD on single layer disc?

I have a 2 hour (120 minutes) project timeline which I want to encode in compressor to fit on a single layer DVD.
Do I need to change the Bit Rate to make it fit on a single layer?
Or can someone post the settings or link to where I can find the best settings?
Thanks in advance,
z

Select "Best 120 minutes" and you should be good to go.

Burn won't fit - is it minutes or MB's?

I'm getting the message that my songs won't fit on one CD. There are 55 songs (actually spoken word) 1.5 hours, 482 MB. The CD is 80 min, 700 MB. Is it the minutes or the MB that is important? 482 MB should fit easily.

Its where your burning an audio CD.
All your songs/books are in either MP3 or AAC both being compressed formats. When a program gets ready to burn an audio CD, it has to uncompress the song(s) and burn them in a uncompressed format so a regular CD player can read it.
So the 400 and something MB COMPRESSED files when uncompressed are MUCH larger. If you look at the blank CD or the case it came in, it will tell you how many minutes of music it can hold on average. I THINK most 700MB CDs hold 80min worth of audio

Query to get all minutes in last one hour

Dear All,
I am trying to write a query that returns every minute in last one hour.
Like now, if the time is 4:15
The query returns;
3:14
3:15
4:11
4:12
4:13
4:14
4:15
Please suggest a logic.
Thank you so much.
Regards, Imran

You can also add or subtract INTERVAL literals to or from a DATE, for example:
SYSDATE - INTERVAL '5' MINUTE
The result is a DATE.

Ever since I got the new update 5.1 my iPod's been dying faster. It used to last for at least 3 hours, now it won't even last one hour and dies for no reason(even when it's in sleep mode, and not in use) What's wrong with it? Is it the update? lagging too

I have a problem to update iMovie 9.0.9. The OS is running really slow and halts from time to time. In the update procedure it says it's one minute left. That was one hour ago... What can I do?

My wallpaper isn't the same since ios7. Picture won't fit on one page ?

O,
That's the way tables work in iWork. No option for automatic break within a cell/row. As you guessed, it's your responsibility to fix it manualy. Sometimes you can downsize the font or increase the column width to gain some room for your content. If you want constant format, you've got to do the manual breakup.
I'll add that Tables aren't always the best container for your material. I know that it's a comfortable look and feel, but when a row takes up a whole page, it may be time to rethink the design.

Why is one hour of video 12 gb????

I have never experienced this before. I import one hour of video and idvd complains that it won't fit (even on a dl dvd). I look at the clip info- 12 gb!!!.
I have never had a problem making idvd projects on this imac g5. Is there something suddenly wrong with the compression?

Hi theresaa:
The file size for uncompressed DV material is 12 GB for one hour of video so that seems correct..
And, a DVD holds a maximum of 120 min of video regardless of the original file size.
Use File / Share / iDVD and it will automatically compress it to fit.

Appointments are showing off by one hour for Yahoo users

Ok, I know there have been a few responses to this, but none seem to fit the exact issue I am having, so I'm going to ask again.
I have two users in particular, one on Outlook 2010 and one on Outlook 2013. They have hosted Exchange, and the Exchange server is 2007. The Exchange host provider is located in the Central Time Zone. Computers for my users are all set to correctly to Eastern
Time Zone. Windows 7 and 8.1 machines with all updates installed are what the users are using. I also logged into the hosted OWA option and set the time zone to EST there as well.
When I send an invite from Outlook 2010 user to another Exchange server, meeting time in the email invite BEFORE accepting shows the correct time zone for that user, and stays correct when accepting. When I send an invite to Gmail, again, shows
correct time before and after accepting. When I send to a Yahoo account, it shows the time one hour behind before accepting - essentially shows the CST time. Once I accept the meeting in Yahoo, it shows the correct time in the Yahoo calendar, but the email
with the invite still shows the wrong time, one hour earlier. And obviously if the user doesn't accept the invite but just uses it as a guide, they will show up one hour earlier.
Is this an issue for Yahoo, or Exchange 2007? It might be possible to move my client from Exchange 2007 to 2010 or 2013, but I don't want to do that if it won't fix the problem.

Should be an issue with the time zone settings on all Outlook clients involved.
Has Gmail/Yahoo account mentioned here been configured into Outlook clients?
If you are using Outlook 2010 you need to use a time zone with the correct DST settings for your location. If your location does not observe DST, do not choose a time zone that does then deselect the option to automatically update for daylight saving time.
You need to use a time zone that does not observe DST.

TS1362 My blank cd says 80 min. or 700 MB. Playlist in Itunes says 1.6 hrs., 213 MB. It won't burn, itunes says it won't fit onto cd. What's up with this?

I don't understand why itunes won't burn my playlist to a blank CD. CD-R says 80 min, or 700 MB. Playlist shows 176 MB, 25 songs, 1.3 hrs. I don't understand why it won't fit onto one CD.

If you are burning an audio CD, use the time/length of the playlist.
If you are burning and MP3/data CD, use teh size (MB) of the playlist.
Note that there needs to be room for directories and other info on teh disc which will nto be displayed in teh size of the playlist.
The disc may hold 80 minutes but a playlist of 80 minutes will not fit.
Usually, you can get ~70 minutes max.

How do I use "touch -t" to shift a batch of JPG timestamps by one hour?

I'm trying to use "touch -t" to shift a batch of JPG created/modified timestamps by one hour to fix a time zone error. Is this possible?
(I don't want to have to manually go to every file, and enter its current timestamp all the same way except for the month.)
By the way, does using the "touch" command have the same JPG lossy effect as saving the file again?

picky picky picky
So you write a script that uses stat to get the current modification time and then add 60 minutes to it, with the date command, then then use that with touch against the file. Nothing to it
#!/bin/sh
find starting.directory -name "*.jpg" | while read file
do
ls -l "$file"
mtimeinsec=$(stat -f %m "$file")
mtimeplus_1H_in_touchfmt=$(date -j -r $mtimeinsec -v +1H +%G%m%d%H%M.%S)
/usr/bin/touch -t $mtimeplus_1H_in_touchfmt "$file"
ls -l "$file"
done
I've added an hour to the modification time. If you want to subtract an hour the +1H to -1H
If you want to use shell wildcard selection modify the loop to be something like
#!/bin/sh
for file in *.jpg
do
... the guts of the above while loop ...
done
If you just want to provide a list of files, you can change the *.jpg to a list of files. JUST BE CAREFUL OF SPACES IN FILE NAMES and directories
If you want a drag and drop application, you can do that with some additional changes and either using Applications -> Automator with the "Run Shell Command" or using Platypus (free download, and a very nice utility). The script would change to:
#!/bin/sh
for file in "$@"
do
... the guts of the above while loop ...
done
I have tested the very first script. I am fairly confident my 2nd to examples are right, but they are untested, so your mileage may vary.
