Sharing Large Movie to Media Browser

I am trying to share my I movie to Media Browser. I clicked on large format and the computer processes the movie, however when complete the movie does not show up in IDVD media browser? Any suggestions?

You can locate the movie in the movie's package contents. In Finder column view, click on your user folder Movies then iMovie Projects. Right-click (Control-click) on the name of your movie, then click on the item "Show Package Contents". Now click on the Movies folder to reveal the exported movie. A Large movie will be named "large.m4v", while a HD export will be named "720p.mov".
The movies can be dragged into the background of an iDVD Theme in the usual way. I also copy them to an external portable hard drive which I then connect to my Western Digital Live TV HD Media Player for viewing through an LCD widescreen TV. I get excellent results with both iDVD and the Media Player using Share to Media Browser at either Large (960 x 540) or HD (720p).

What do you mean by raw footage when you say "I went to go find it and the raw footage is in imovie, but the project is GONE." Can you open your working movie in IMovie Edit Project window? Does it show to the left of the file name in the Project library or Share/Media Browser drop-down box that it has processed the movie?
my processed movies are listed in the iMovie Projects folder as Movies/iMovie Projects.localized. Using this file, the drag and drop worked for me so I was able to burn the movie on iDVD. However, shared iMovie projects are still not recognized by iDVD. An old project has disappeared and the new one does not appear in iDVD in the Media pane as it should. I checked the preferences, and directed it to look in the iMovies Project folder. I am currently sharing with iTunes and when I open IDVD the medium shared movie is there as should be. Hummm. Why not the large shared movies showing in IDVD?
You probably have tried several things already but: open your "more info" box for the movie file if you can, and there the extension shows .rcproject and make sure you are checked to open with iMovie.
Check your iDVD preferences. Make sure it is looking in the right place for your movie files. It automatically checks in "Movie" folder but you can also ADD by directing it to your iMovie Project file specifically. You could go into your Home Library and dump your preferences then reopen IMovie and see if it helps (don't trash your preference until you reopen IMovie and see it is working okay) but this did nothing to help me.
In iMovie, try removing your movie from Media Browser and reprocessing it. You might send it to iTunes and see if it shows correctly there.
I will keep at this as there appears to be a bug with the processing of large movies and IDVD recognizing them as previously. It is just not finding shared movies.

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

HD Movie into Media Browser = Too Large?

When I transferred each HD separate project into the Media Browser, I had no problem. When I combined all the projects together, I get an error message telling me that the file is too large.
All I want to do is put the entire combined movie into the Media Browser. That way I can make the chapters afterwards.
Any ideas?

Are you storing your projects on a hard drive formatted as FAT32? FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB.

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

Problem sharing iMovie project with media browser

Having prepared a movie in IMovie I tried to share it with media browser at 1020p HD. After 2 hours of processing I got the following error message. What does it mean and what can I do to fix? I shared at the mobile level and it worked.
"Unable to prepare project for publishing.
The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (File already open with with write permission)"

I know what the problem is, it's related to Time Machine on laptops running the 10.7 Lion OS.
This requires using the Terminal app, in your Applications/Utilities folder
To turn off Time Machine snapshots type in the following command:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
The Mac will likely ask for your password, so type it in and hit the return key. The type the word, exit and hit return. Quit Terminal.
Open iMovie and try doing another export and see if the same error message pops up.

When I try to share my recently completed movie to Media Browser, the following message keeps popping up: "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)". How do I fix it?

When I completed my iMovie (after hours of work), I can't move it to iDVD or the Media Browser. The following message always pos up: "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)". What is this and how can I fix this? Please help ... I need to get the completed DVD in the mail now!! Thanks.

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)

Projects "Shared to Media Browser" don't actually appear in Media Browser

Hello all. I've got one of those "it seems so easy I must be doing something wrong" questions. (I accidentally posted this in the iMovie HD forum by accident, the first time. I'm actually using iMovie '08.)
This is the first time I've tried this, and I can't seem to get it to work. I've made a bunch of projects in iMovie that I now want to bring into iDVD. I've started "Sharing" them to the Media Browser, but they're not showing up there. Doesn't matter which other iLife app I use to look -- iWeb, iDVD, GarageBand all do the same thing -- when I look in the "Movies" section, iMovie is there, as are all the Events in my Event Library, but from the screen shots I've looked at, I think the "Shared" iMovie projects are supposed to show up there, just above the Event Library clips, right? They don't.
In iMovie, they look "shared" -- the shared projects all have the "row of square boxes" icon next to them, so it looks like something did happen -- but I can't select them in any other iLife app. My next thought is I'll just export them instead of share, and import the files directly from the Finder, no big deal, but I was just wondering if anyone knows why the Media Browser thing isn't working for me?
I'm using iLife '08 and I have my Movies folder on an external drive (could that be part of the problem?)
Thanks in advance, everyone, for any assistance you can render.

I've started "Sharing" them to the Media Browser, but they're not showing up there.
1) Sharing to the "Media Browser" stores the project export file in your named_Project folder. As long as you do not delete (or modify) the project, the file(s) will remain available there.
2) Your "Media Browser" files should be located under the "Movies" tab at the very top of your "Media" browser list immediately under the "iMovie" heading and not under the "Movies" heading. (I.e., they have the yellow icon as opposed to the purple source "Event" icon.

How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears? How can I correct, what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD? Finalize movie? I want to burn it to DVD!

How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted.
I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain. Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
What is a heap zone????

Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

Under SHARE, IDVD is grey, what step am I missing? Only MEDIA BROWSER and ITUNES is active?

I'm unable to SHARE my IMOVE since IDVD is grey and not active, only MEDIA BROWSER and ITUNES. I'm using ITUNES '11.

Hi
A. I don't know
B. I think that THERE ARE A MUCH better choice to do - ! ! !
As Share to Media Browser is OK
(I NEVER use Share to iDVD from within any iMovie versions as the result will be bad to even worse)
Use this and Share as LARGE (Not HD - also degrading result)
Now Close iMovie and Open iDVD and Import movie from Media Browser - This will result in as Good result possibly when movie comes from iMovie'08 or 09 or 11.
If You want even better result then use
• iMovie up to HD6 - or -
• FinalCut any version
So that the material exported over to iDVD is fully interlaced - as DVDs are so and as SD-Video quality is so as Standard. (There are no HD-DVD quality (but academic - very rare and needs special players))

Share iMovieHD to Media Browser

Previous posts in March, indicated the best quality was obtained by sharing iMovie HD to Media Browser rather than sharing to iDVD. Sharing to Media Browser was tested and compared to sharing iDVD. Sharing to Media Browser produced the best quality. When I am in iMovieHD and I select Share, the following options appear: Email, QuickTime, iDVD, eWeb,Garage Band, Bluetooth, iPad, Video Camera and Share. When I select Share, the next window shows icons for these selections? So, how do I select Share to Media Browser?
I am using iMovie HD v 6.0.2 and iDVD v 7.0.4
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,
In iMovie HD 6 you don't need to Share at all if you only wish to create a DVD in iDVD. The discussions about "Share to Media Browser" apply only to later versions of iMovie. The HD 6 version does not have this option.
With HD 6, all you need to do is _drag your movie into the background area of the iDVD Theme_ - be careful not to drop it into one of the Drop Zones. iDVD will render any items in your movie that still require rendering (e.g, slow motion) - most items (such as transitions and titles) will already have been rendered by iMovie.
Avoid using "Share to iDVD". In _some circumstances_, this will produce "jaggies" on stills - it's a well known bug in iMovie HD 6. A search in the HD 6 forum should highlight posts on this issue.
Dragging the movie into iDVD will produce excellent results - barely distinguishable from your original DV material (if that's what you are using). I can't speak for HD material as I use iMovie '09 for High Definition footage.

Video Podcast entries keep uploading wrong video from Media Browser

This started about a week ago. I have iLife 08 that I am using iMovie and iWeb for a video podcast page, for which there are at least a dozen videos up. Last week I created a couple of video projects and shared them with the Media Browser. But now, every video entry I create is the first of the two videos I made in iLife, let's call it "Video 1". Now I am four videos later. When I export to my local disk, the correct videos load, but when I upload to Mobile Me, all of the entries since Video 1 was created show Video 1. I even deleted the video projects from iMovie.
Is there some sort of way to refresh the cache on the Media Browser, or has anyone else had this issue?

Still not working. I have to "Publish All To MobileMe" for it to work. It has something to do with how iMovie exports. For some reason all the files exported have the filename SIZESELECTION-INDEXNUMBER, so all of my movies are named medium, medium-1, medium-2, medium-3 and after the last patch was installed, all new pages only look at "medium" and ignore the number added at the end.
But again, I don't have this problem with I publish to a local folder.

Media Browser and iTunes Screensaver Unable to See Through Aliases

My iTunes library is on a shared Airport disk. In Tiger I used an alias from ~/Music to the shared library. This worked better than pointing iTunes itself straight at the shared library because the media browser and iTunes screen saver continued to work as expected.
Not so in Leopard. When my iTunes library is an alias the media browser refuses to see it and suggests i launch iTunes 6 or later. Similar for the iTunes screen saver.
Does anyone else experience this, and does anyone know any workarounds? I miss browsing my iTunes libray from iPhoto.

If you have 64 bit Windows and daemon, you have a little work to do.
You need to install the 64 bit Gear drivers that iTunes needs for burning but are not supplied:

How to prepare a movie for sharing in Media Browser?

I'm having difficulty making a DVD. After creating the movie, I have tried sharing it to iDVD and Media Browser, but both times after rendering it said it wasn't able to publish. The movie shows up in my Media Browser of the DVD but it can't be dragged to the project window. I'm trying to share it by selecting Large.
My movie is only 8 minutes. I tried sharing a video clip, selecting Large, and it worked so the system works, it's just my movie won't work.
How do I get my movie to share so I can use it in iDVD?

Pardon me, but I don't understand. In your first post you said you tried Large and it didn't work. Then you said the fixed the problem by using Large.
