Size of movie bigger in iDVD then it really is

I have finished to cut a movie in iMovie.
Then i exported it using the share to media browser feature.
I can add the movie to iDvd project and everything is good until i want to burn it, then it tells me that the video file is over 5GB in size.
But in the finder it tells me that it is 3GB. So iDvd will not let me burn it.
Any suggestions ?

Ok, it is written on the DVD disc 120mins. My movie is 102 min. That should fit on there right ?
If you use High Quality or Professional Quality encoding AND only use short clips in the menus, you should be OK.

A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

Image covert to PDF then file size become much bigger. [iOS]

When I use picture covert to PDF then converted PDF file size become much bigger. Original picture file size is 2MB but PDF file size become 5.2MB. I'm using iPhone6.
however when I using desktop acrobat to covert the same image then PDF file sizw almost the same as original image file size.

Hi Brian,
I have created a bug report for this issue. We will try to address the issue in a future release of Acrobat DC for iOS.
In the meantime, would you use the web interface to convert your photos to PDFs?
Open Safari on your iPhone.
Go to https://cloud.acrobat.com
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Select the Create PDF tab.
Tap "Select Files to Convert to PDF".
Tap "Choose Files from My Computer".
Select the photo(s) that you want to covert.
Tap Done.
The converted PDF document(s) will be stored in the Document Cloud.
Please see the following document to switch the file location to Document Cloud in Acrobat DC for iOS.
How to manage files in Acrobat DC for iOS
Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope that the Create PDF option via the web interface is a feasible workaround for you.

All my movies are in 4:3 scale. I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, burns in 16:9 format. What must I do?

I need a help from you. All my movies are in 4:3 scale.
I use always the same Easy SepUp in Final Cut. My movies is compressed as DV NTSC in 4:3 format.
I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, the preview appears already written in green "widescreen preview", and so the finallized dvd goes to 16:9 format.
I checked in Idvd, and the size is choosed to 4:3.
Interestingly, I've used iDVD several times, including by using templatesmade to 16:9, and changing the format to 4:3 it always worked well.
Maybe is an Idvd update that causes it?

Sorry,I know this is a month late, but I think I remember this happening to myself some time ago. As I can best recall, I believe I had used an MP3 music file in my project (exported from FCP 7) and that was the cause in some strange way. I remember deleting a file (again, I believe the mp3 file) and then it worked fine as 4:3.Not positive, but I hope this helps.

How do i add a second movie to an idvd project when 'sharing' from imovie always opens a new idid window?

I am creating an idvd project with multiple imovie projects. I know I need to share my imovie project with Idvd. WEhen I do that, idvd automatically opens. Now I want to add a second project. The problem is that when I share imovie projects a second time, it automatically opens a second idvd project. I want to add multiple imovie projects on one idvd project.

One should not share directly to iDVD from iMovie. The Share ➙ Media Browser option should be used as that results in a better quality movie in iDVD. Do the same for both movies and you can drag the movies from the Media ➙ Movies pane in iDVD into the DVD menu window at the left.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality 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.

Setting the order of my mov.s in idvd?

editing in the latest final cuts express/ exporting fce sequence to mov.s/ dragging mov.s (currently 3) into idvd "revolution main" box/ adding chapters at 5 min. intervals/ cleaning the silly menus (noxious music, whirling things, 38 minute loop duration)/ burning.
if i have 3 mov.s in the idvd project, idvd chooses the order not me. that's unacceptable. how does it chooses the order and why?
i suppose there's a way to put it all in a single timeline in final cuts express, make chapter markers in fce to delineate the 3 parts of the project, the doing something with even more submenus in idvd then add the 5 minute chapter markers in there. or is there away to do that?????????????????????
none of this is " new apple laptop WORKS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX"!!!

My experience is that if I drag the movies into an iDVD menu screen one by one, the “tab” order will be the order that I create the movie buttons. By “tab” order, I mean the order in which the buttons will be selected when I use the down-arrow button to go from one button to the next. I assume that's the “sequence” you are referring to.
Last night I figured out how to change the tab order, albeit in a simple case. I had used an old project as a template for a new one. The old project had three movie buttons on the main menu, and a fourth “?” button that opened a submenu containing some “about” text with no buttons. The tab order was
Movie1->Movie2->Movie3->?
I saved as a new project, deleted the existing 3 Movie buttons, and dragged in a single new MovieX. The menu looked fine, with the MovieX button centered in the menu, and the ? button in the lower right corner. But when I ran the DVD simulator, I saw that the tab order was
?->MovieX, so that when the DVD menu first appeared, the ? button was selected by default -- not what I wanted.
I figure I could have just deleted the ? item and recreated it from scratch. I suspect that would have corrected the tab order problem, since the new version would be the last button created. But I was too lazy to retype the About text.
I went into the Map window (horizontal layout), and I noticed that the order in which the movie and About submenu appeared, to the right of the main menu item, reflected the tab order - the About submenu was above the movie. Looking at the original project showed that its 3 movie items were above its About submenu.
I tried just dragging the movie to another position -- that didn't work. Here's what did work -- I selected the About submenu, right-clicked it and selected Cut from the popup. The About submenu disappeared, and the movie moved up into its position. Then I selected the main menu item, right-clicked it, and selected Paste from the popup. The About submenu then reappeared to the right of the main menu, but now BELOW the movie.
Sure enough, when I went back to the DVD simulation, the MovieX button was selected as the default at startup. The final physical DVD also worked as intended.

Make quicktime movies bigger in safari?

Is it possible to make the playback of quicktime movies bigger when they are being played within safari? to make them bigger i have to download the file and then open up the quicktime program seperately to have a window i can make larger. but when they play in safari, they are pretty small and i cant figure out how to make them larger. thanks.

QuickTime files that play back in a browser window have a height and width set by the page author.
The viewer can't control the playback dimensions unless they download and save the file to their computer and play them back via QuickTime Player.
Some QuickTime authors write page code that calls the QuickTime Player and bypasses the browser plug-in. This allows for lots of playback options.

Merging movies in iMovie & iDVD

I have created a number of small (approx 7 minute) movies as parts of a 2 hour travel movie. I have tried to merge some in iMovie. The video clips copy & paste in ok at the end of the previous movie, but the voice & music paste on top of the audio in the original movie & therefore can't be correctly positioned.
Is it possible to copy a number of such small movies to DVD & seamlessly join them?

Hi m
To merge movie parts in iDVD - Not possibly to my knowledg
I would merge them in iMovie.
In iM 5 or 6 You can have more than one project open at once.
I would use the timeline and select all clips + audio-parts then Copy
go to the collecting project. Move the playhead to end of clips allready here
then select Past.
Now open movie 3 - select all on timeline (3-track vision) and go to movie 1
(collecting movie) - move play head to end and Past
Repeat till all got copied.
Now remember that there is a 60 or 120 min limit to iDVD and this includes
material in menus.

Question regarding different sizes of movies posted to Mobile Me

I am using iMovie '08 and just published a 10 min movie in both large and medium
sizes. The question is: "Does publishing different sized movies increase the amount of storage used by the move on the Mobile Me cloud?"
Specifically, if I publish a movie in Large format, then publish the same movie
in Medium, or Mobile size, do the additional sizes add to the amount of storage
used in the cloud?
Also, it seems that there is no way to remove an already published size selectively. For example, if I have a Large and Medium size published for the
same movie, can I remove the only the Large size. (Keeping the Medium on the cloud?) I could not find a way to do this. This may be irrelevant if there is minimal or no impact on used storage to publish in lower sized formats.
Any light that can be shed on this would be very helpful.

Thanks again. This solved the problem as far as removing the file from iDisk and
the cloud. However, when I go to the gallery, I still see the hyperlink for
LARGE on the size selection just under the video display. I tried to refresh
the site by going to the Mobile Me account and changing the settings (ie downloadable, or hide) but that did not work.
In fact the site gave me an error the first time I tried it. But then after that,
I was able to change the settings without any error. But that did not remove the
LARGE hyperlink either.
I also went to iMovie and re-published like you would to change the description.
That does not upload the movies because they are not changed. Interestingly the
LARGE size selector was enabled so I could change it (that was disabled on
previous attempts) But alas, event re-publishing did not change whatever
indexes are used to produce the video screens in the gallery.
I will take this up with Apple Mobile Me directly as soon as I can. If and when
I receive an answer, I will post it here.
Thanks again.

How can you upload a movie to I tunes then sync with Ipad2?

how can you upload a movie to I tunes then sync with Ipad2?

There are several options to choose from its either you will buy directly from itunes which go directly to movie. Another option is that convert first your movie to mpeg4 by using any converter software, then after converted drga the file (movie) to itunes library. Next thing you will do is to click your account (your ipad device) then look movie tabs then check sync movies.

Can I rent a movie in iTunes and then watch it in my car where I don't have an Internet connection?

Just wondering how to download a movie on the iPad and then take it in the car or on a plane and watch it... Is it possible to rent a movie on iTunes and then watch it elsewhere, where I don't have access to Internet?

Absolutely. You can rent or buy a movie in iTunes and once downloaded to your iPad, watch it without internet access. You can do this directly on your iPad. Open iTunes on your iPad. Browse, then buy or rent what you want. Once downloaded, your purchase will appear in your Video App, which was preloaded on your iPad.

Where can I find movie files in iDVD?

Hello,
So, I have lost a quicktime movie file that I made in iMovie and cannot locate the file anywhere on my HD. However, when I open the iDVD Project (iDVD 7.1.2) I made to make a DVD the movie plays fine inside of the project. Does this mean the movie file still exists on my Hard Drive somewhere? Is there any way to access the file? I have looked in the Movies Library in iDVD and it is not there! Thoughts?
Thanks,
John

It will be located inside the iDVD project package under
However, they will not have any of the audio associated with the video. And the extension will have to be changed to .mov but again with no sound.
For future projects is you save the project as an archived project file
all of the media files, photo, video, etc., that are used in the project will be copied into the project file in the Assets folder:
