Project size a lot larger than movie size

Hi,
When I add a 500 mb movie to iDVD, the project window shows it is using 3gb+ of disc space. Why is it using so much space? I was hoping to add at least 2 movies to one disc. My settings are NTSC, BEST PROFORMANCE, and SINGLE LAYER 4.2 GB.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the way it is?
Thanks

Don't worry about file size. iDVD is only concerned with the total playing time of all assets including menus. If your playing time is under 120 minutes it will fit on a single layer DVD-R disk.
If your playing time is less than 60 minutes you can use Best Performance encoding. Between 60 and 120 it can be either Best Quality or Professional Quality. If you have lots of movement in the movies then Professional Quality may give you better results particularly for those scenes with fast movement.

MS Project - Printing to dimensions larger than max print driver settings

I have a large (2000+) task Gantt chart but no wide-format printer.
I've tried printing to PDF - the tasks, durations, start, finish & resources columns show but the bars don't and the data replicates 4x so I end up having to mess with the file, deleting the extraneous pages, before I send it out for review, anyway.
I tried downloading a wide-format printer driver simply so I could select that printer as my 'default' and set the printer to 'print' to 24x36 while I work with the document, but can't install it because I don't actually have a wide-format printer on my
network.
Two questions:
First: How do I get the bars to show in a PDF print?
Second: How do I set the print area larger than my max paper size of 17x11?
Thanks.

Thank you very much for your response, Guillaume.
The issue is that I only have standard sized printers available to me. The drivers of these control and restrict the 'print' size of the PDF file. I had already selected the columns, etc., but could not get the right-hand part of the document
to appear no matter what settings I changed. I tried manipulating the columns printed, the page size, etc. but nothing worked.
Additionally, no matter what else I did (and I suspect it had to do with the program attempting to print the Gantt bars) I ended up with multiple prints of the document within my finished PDF. Meaning I had to use the Professional version of Adobe
to go back and delete the 50+ pages I didn't need before I could distribute what was useful to everyone else on the team.
I did manage to solve this issue by downloading a wide-format printer driver (even though we don't have a wide-format printer on the network, which was a feat in and of itself!). Now I can choose the non-existent printer as my default when I'm working
in / on this document and can print to PDF on a virtual 36" page - showing everything (in little tiny mouse print). That will be my next challenge - but I'm more than halfway there!

The amount of memory used for data is a lot larger than the saved file size why is this and can I get the memory usage down without splitting up the file?

I end up having to take a lot of high sample rate data for relativily long periods of time. When I save the data it is usually over 100 MB. When I load the data for post-processing though the amount of memory used is excessively higher than the file size. This causes my computer to crash because 1.5 GB is not enough. Is there a way to stop this from happening withoput splitting up the file into smaller files.

LabVIEW can efficiently handle large files, far beyond 100Mb, provided that care is taken in the coding of the loading/processing routines. Here are several suggestions:
1) Check out the resources National Instruments has put together (NI Developer Zone > Development Library > Measurement and Automation Software > LabVIEW > Development System > Optimizing Applications > Managing Memory), specifically the article entitled "Managing Large Data Sets in LabVIEW".
2) Load and process the data in chunks if possible.
3) Avoid sending the data to front panel indicators, using local/global variables for data storage, or changing data types unless absolutely necessary.
4) If using LabVIEW 7.1, use the "show buffer" tool to determine when LabVIEW is creating extra
copies of data in memory.

In Cp5, can you record a window that is smaller than the project size?

We would like to have a project that is sized larger than the application capture areas, in order to have a section to the side of the application captures that can be used for buttons, text boxes, and rollover objects for example. For example, the Cp project size may be 800x600, while the captured window size is 700x600. In Cp4, I can only capture at the size of the project. Is Cp5 different or does the capture size just have to equal the project size? Would this example require capturing at 700x600 and resizing to 800x600, while maintaining the backgorund image sizes and orienting the images left/right during resize? Has anyone done something like this and have a recommended way to accomplish it?

The estimated project size is larger than the target media chosen

I am at a loss for trying to author a project using Adobe Encore. I first tried to author the project using version CS2. When attempting to export I received the following message:
"The estimated project size is larger than the target media chosen. While this is an estimate, the project may fail to build."
I have authored hundereds of projects in the past, but have never received that message before. I first thought that the problem was with the version of Encore I was using, but I received the exact same error when trying to author the project with Encore CS5.
The project itself has one menu, a motion menu, and one video file. The video file last 152 minutes, and I was attempting to export that to a dual layer DVD. I have since tried exporting the file using Adobe Premier CS5.5 using a variety of settings. I am trying to export it to a DVD-2 file, with the match soure attributes being set to the highest setting. The setting on the main concept MPEG encoder is set to 5. I have tried exporting the file using both constant and varaible bit rates.
When I recently exported the file using a contant bit rate of 6.5, I still had 650.4 MB remaining on my Encore project. I still received the same error about the project size, and so I am thinking that something else is wrong.
I have even exported the video file as an uncompressed AVI file, and then tried encoding it again using both Adobe Premier CS5.5 and the Adobe Encoder. I still get the same error message about file size.
Any help and/or suggestions about how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Using the Imgburn product worked! It also helped me figure out what the real problem was...
As it turns out, some single-layer DVDs had been mixed in with my dual-layer DVDs. I feel very foolish about this. All of my discs are printable, and so there is no indication written as far as what their capacity is on them.
Encore can be a bit vague in identifying a problem such as this. For example, I can set the settings to plan for a dual-layer disc, and it will display a graphical status indicator with that capacity in mind. When I saw the original file message error I honestly believed that there was a problem with the encoded file instead of the type of disc itself.
Imgburn instantly displayed the discrepancy in the type of disc I had loaded and the needed capacity for the type of project that I was trying to create.
Thanks again for your help!

Why is menu size so much larger than the files?

I am somewhat perplexed - I'm making a single-layer dvd and have a simple single screen theme (no animation) - it has one drop zone. The movie has 28 chapters so there are five of them, but so far I've added only one montage of photos to each menu page - it's a "mobile" quality in media browser and ave only 10 - 20 MB, then one song. On average these movie clips are 1:00 to 2:00 min long and the music is cut to that length. So, all told, it's probably less than 110 MB in files - but when I look at the project properties, the menus are 3301 MB!!!
The movie itself is only 1.1 GB so what is going on?
It's preventing me from doing the project and I've got no idea why it's making the menu size so much larger than the file sizes?
Can you please help me figure out what to do?
Alexa

The 2 min clips were natively 2 min - I had each one separate and actually converted to media browser in "mobile" size (b/c the drop zone was 4 x 6 in size in the theme). They were tiny - in most cases I was shortening the audio (e.g. the song was 4 minutes and I was setting the loop to only 1:30 b/c that's how long the video clip was on the menu).
BUT, to resolve the question (I always like to post the answer) - I ended up duplicating the project to try to reimport the video. It was a fresh iDVD project and I happened to click on the project tree of screens - and, lo and behold, the ENTIRE menu was duplicated for some reason (and the movie, actually). I went back to the original and it was the same! I have no idea how that would happen do you? It only had one main menu screen - and then an entire duplicate menu - which I wouldn't even know how to access if I didn't see it in the project menu tree?
The only think of is that at one point I added a title menu link to the scene selection - it gave me a warning that my menu was more than 12 minutes, did I want to fix or ignore and fix later - which confused me b/c it was under 12 min, then but I clicked ignore. Does that create an alternate title menu and send people back to something else?
Anyway, I deleted the entire extra scene selection menus (5 of them) and it was back to under 4 GB.
So, I was able to burn, but still wondering about creating the "title menu" link on scene selections? It drives me crazy that it doesn't automatically do that so I like to add "main menu" links.
Thanks for your help!

Batch Resize photos Larger than a certain size.

Is there a way to have a script that searches a directory and any image files that are larger than 1000 x 1000 pixels are resized to 500 x 500 pixels and then saved over righting the sources file?
I am asking because our server has over 40,000 photos all over the place and I would like to reduce the space they take on the server.

I don't think that getting the file's length is the best way to determine if the file needs resizing. Especially if the file is in a format that supports compression. I think you would end up either setting the test value too low and open a lot of files that don't need resizing or set too high and miss files that do.
Also using getFiles() without a file mask will get all files and folders in the source folder. You will need to make sure it is an image file before trying to open in Photoshop to resize.
I think the function below would be a better way to determine if the file needs resizing. It tries to get the XMPMetadata to determine width and height. If that fails because the file does not have metadata it gets the size from Bridge.
var file = new File('~/desktop/_SLP7637.jpg');
var resize = needsResizing( file );
var resizeStr = ''
resize? resizeStr = 'needs resizing': resizeStr = 'does not need resizing';
alert(file.fsName+" "+resizeStr);
function needsResizing( file ){
    try{
        loadXMPLibrary();

        var xmp = xmpf.getXMP();

        var dim = xmp.getProperty( XMPConst.NS_EXIF, 'PixelXDimension', XMPConst.STRING)+','+xmp.getProperty( XMPConst.NS_EXIF, 'PixelYDimension', XMPConst.STRING);

FSRM reporting quote usage larger than the actual Size

File server resource manager is reporting quote usage larger than the actual Size or even “Size on Disk”. The only theory I have so far is that the FSRM is counting data in Shadow Copy. Does FSRM count data in Shadow Copy?

Hi,
Please check if you turn on the NTFS file system compression functionality or if you compress the files that you own on an NTFS volume. If so, the disk quota that you are charged increases.

PSE 9: Image size is printing/saving larger than what I selected.

I was sent some pdf files for a banner for my kids' upcoming birthday party. When I open one of the images it said that the image size was 7"x7" (it's a 7" circle) so I left it as is. The only thing I changed on the sign was I changed the color of a number and two letters from pink to blue and that was it. I then saved the image and gave it a new name. When I look at it, upload it to the print shop or print it from my home computer the image is no longer 7" but is now 8" (the circle) and it larger than the rest of the banner pieces. I have no idea how to get it to print/upload at the original 7" size.

I opened this image in PSE, and the diameter measures 6" on my equipment. Be that as it may, if you want to reduce the size try the following:
Go to Window and check rulers to make them visible
Open picture file
Duplicate background layer. Shut off visibility of the background layer by clicking on its eye icon. Work on the background copy layer.
Access the move tool, and using one of the corner handlles drag towards the center to make image smaller. Commit.
Flatten image

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
I don't understand why this is happening.

Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
Good luck.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

Printing a component that is larger than the paper size

Hi,
I am trying to print a component that may be larger than the size of the paper being used. Is there some way to get it to split between pages - ie, if it's larger than the page, it is printed over two or more pages?
The component in question is a JTextArea. Would it be better to get the text from it and use the graphics drawString rather than the component's paint method?
The relevant part of the code is below.
Thanks,
Helen
     //cast the Graphics object to a Graphics2D object
     Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
     //set the origin to be (0,0)
     g2.translate(format.getImageableX(), format.getImageableY());
     //if double buffering is enabled, disable it before printing
     boolean b = testForDoubleBuffering(c);
     if (b == true){
     disableDoubleBuffering(c);
     //tell the Component to draw itself to the printer
     comp.paint(g2);
     //if double buffering was enabled, reenable it once printing has happened
     if (b == true){
     enableDoubleBuffering(c);
     //return this constant to tell the PrinterJob that the page has been printed

How to display graphics larger than canvas size?

How do I display graphics larger than canvas size in Java AWT?
I tried setting the canvas size() to a value larger than my monitor size, and then adding scroll bars to the canvas, but the scroll bars and the canvas won't go beyond the monitor size in pixels, which is only 800, so the large graphic I try to display gets cut off at the bottom.
