Size of rented movie files ?

Santa is bringing my son an iTouch 32gb. How big is a typical movie file that iTunes rents? I want to load it up for the long ride to gramdma's house. Thanks!

  • How to increase subtitle size on rented movies ?

    The subtitles are really small and hard to read. Is it possible to enlarge them ?

    I'm too! I want bigger font size of subtitles on rented movies.. But how?

  • Rented movie file

    Ok! Finally was able to rent 300. Have yet to watch it and after I do view it, what happens to the 1.13 gig file that is on the drive with my purchased movies?

    I have .m4v files for the rentals. I am curious about this self-destructing file idea though. I'm not sure if the file you download is instantly encoded to wither away 24 hours after you start it, or if it's iTunes that's managing the DRM. Given my current backup system, I can keep files after they are deleted from the system, so I guess we'll see tomorrow if I can still play the file.

  • How do I get a rented movie to sync up to my  Gen 5 iPod?

    I can see the rented movie file in the movies subfolder of the iTunes folder that contains my entire library on my desktop HD. My iPod syncs my purchased TV-shows and other ripped video files just fine, but it won't show me a rented movie that has plenty of time before it expires. What gives? Is this another brain dead agreement to appease Hollywood?
    Can I set my iPod to manual sync and copy it to a folder that I create.....like rented movies? Can some one give me a clue as I'm heading out of town in about 6 hours?

  • .MOD to .MOV File gew very large following conversion

    I had a .MOD file on my JVC that was 1.5GB in size (approximately 27mins in length) and I wanted to get it over to iMovie HD. I used software called 'mpegstreamclip' to covert it to a .MOV file. The conversion was successful and the video quality is very good when played back on Quicktime, but now the size of the .MOV file is 6GB and now I can't get it from iMovie HD onto a DVD. How did it become so large??
    The other .MOD files on my camera, about 6 of them, I converted as well and they relatively remained the same size that the .MOD was.
    Bill

    You don't say what KIND of .mov you converted to. You should have converted to DV, which is iMovie's native format. DV is 13GB per hour of running time. DV is so large to allow editing.
    As mentioned, iDVD cares just about running time, not the size of the iMovie project (or its components).

  • Exporting movie file from iPhoto

    I have a Panasonic Lumix that takes both still photos and movies. The movies and still photos are transferred from the memory card to iPhoto. I would like to use some of the movie clips (.mov format) in an iMovie project. I transferred the movie files from iPhoto to an external hard drive by using the File > Export function. All appeared to go well. When opening the transferred file on the external hard drive, the file size is much smaller than one would expect and the cursor goes right from the beginning to the end as if it was a still photo. In the export function box, the "kind" options include original, current, JPEG, TIFF. I chose current. It does not give an option for file size. The movie file opens and works fine in iPhoto but not the same file transferred to the external hard drive. To make matters worse, I deleted many of the iPhoto movie files after transferring them to the external hard drive and so they are lost forever. Is iPhoto not designed to export movie files ? Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance

    Is there any way to export an entire album of both movies and photos at once? I want to set the movies to export as original and the photos as JPEG, HIGH, with Metadata. Possible?
    No. The export window will only take one set of criteria at a time.

  • Reducing Movie File Size

    I have a 8 minute video shot in HD that when I export, it comes out to about 1.5 gb (not exact because I'm in the process of exporting it again and I can't get details at this moment). I need to imbed this onto a Keynote presentation for a graduation ceremony and I was wondering if anybody out there could give me a suggestion on what compression would be best to export this to. I'm asking because I usually play around with each compression format to get a good image/manageable file size, but, I'm short on time and don't have a lot of time to try different formats. Sadly, I don't remember what worked in the past. I think I used to export the full .mov file and then convert it using quicktime or something.
    I'm hoping that I can get something small in size but in good quality to play on a large auditorium screen. The projector isn't as nice as a movie projector so I can sacrifice some quality but preferably not a lot.

    Found a good solution, for those of you that are interested. After exporting to .mov, I just used quicktime to save as a HD 720p movie. Went from 1.9gb to about 310mb. Perfect for the ceremony and great size too.

  • Quicktime Mov File size reduce after Data Recovery

    Following a Data Recovery from Apple Care, most of my video files have been reduced to 120x90 pixels making them unwatchable. The Format is Apple Photo-JPEG, 120x90, Millions 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48000 kHz with a Data Size of 15.16 MB. Other QT mov files bring up the following message "The movie could not be opened" "A necessary data reference could not be resolved"
    Is there any way I can get the Dimensions back to 640x480 and can the necessary data reference be resolved.
    My Quicktime Player is Version 7.6.4 (518.35)

    Is there any way I can get the Dimensions back to 640x480 and can the necessary data reference be resolved.
    Assuming the original data is in tact, the normal work flow would be to either reset/resize the movie's "Current Size" setting and re-save the file store the new setting using QT Pro or use QT Pro, an alternative QT application, or a third-part application to re-compress the file to the proper dimensions but this approach, depending on settings, can degrade the video. As to the missing "references," depending on the required "references," it might be possible to re-link/restore things if you know enough about the file structure (which I don't).

  • How can I keep the file size small when I render a .mov file to video in PS entended CS4?

    Hi,
    I haven't worked with video in Photoshop before and I am having the following issue:
    I imported a .mov file into photoshop. I trimmed the file by moving the start and finish points to the relevant points on the timeline. I then cropped the image to get rid of unwanted footage on the edge of the screen. I then selected export - render video. On the panel I chose to select only "currently selected frames" as the range and I chose "Quick Time Movie" as the file type. When I check the properties of my newly rendered movie the file size has increased by several times. The file sizes are now much too large.
    I know that I must need to alter some of the render settings but having tried altering many of the settings the result is always the same - a very large file size that is much bigger than my oringinal file.
    If anyone can let me know how I can carry out a simple crop & trim on a .mov file and end up with a smaller more compact file after rendering the video I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Marion,
    Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

  • Size/time limit for AppleTV movie files?

    Scenario: I have a few hundred iMovie projects that I want to convert to AppleTV movies. My first project was just under two hours, and it converted fine. The second project was just under three hours total (33GB .DV file), and it crashed at 99% completion on two separate tries, giving me a cryptic error message (15+ hours processing time each attempt -- aargh). I am using the latest version of QuickTime Pro to convert the projects, and not running anything else during the conversions.
    Right now the only solution that seems to work is to split anything over 2 hours into two parts, which seems kind of pointless and diminishes the advantage of the whole AppleTV concept in the first place. Granted most of the projects are around 2 hours, so most of the time it won't be an issue, just on the longer iMovies.
    Anyone know if there is a size/time limit to files that you can convert? Would it be better to import the .DV files into iTunes and try to convert them there instead? Or is there a way to do it from iMovie (I am using the original iMovie HD version from a few years back). Thanks.

    Thanks Winston & Alley Cat for your insights -- I figured I would just do a straight QT conversion to the proper specs and did manage to find it by digging around a bit. In Export(Share) / QuickTime / Expert Settings there is a preset for AppleTV buried deep in there.
    Sorry, I feel like a bonehead for not being able to locate this option earlier. I thought QuickTime Pro was one of the few apps that could only do this conversion, thinking that my version of iMovie HD (circa 2006) was too old to have the AppleTV preset. (Must have been added during one of the QuickTime updates.)
    Anyways, success to report. I tried re-converting the file (2 hours 47 minutes length) and it worked this time. The total conversion time was actually quite a bit faster than QT Pro plus it takes one less step now. I don't know why it is so much faster than QT Pro, but it compressed to the right specs H.264 AAC codec and aspect ratio.
    BTW, I really, really like my AppleTV. Not perfect, but it sure is cool and everyone who comes over and sees it is kind of blown away by what this little box can do.

  • I am trying to decrease the size of my aperature library on my MB Pro HD.  I used  file\ relocate master to move files to my External HD(EHD) and this worked.  However, the size of my MBP library has not decreased.

    I am trying to decrease the size of my aperature library on my MB Pro HD.  I used  file\ relocate master to move files to my External HD(EHD) and this worked.  However, the size of my MBP library has not decreased.  I do not want to delete the files on my MB Pro until I am confident Aperature can see the files on the EHD.  It looks like the relocate master fxn just copies the masters and data to another location. 

    Relocate master (or original in newer versions) does move and not copy the master file. Jut to make sure I just ram a test and moved some images out of the library to an external drive and they were definitely gone from the Aperture library.
    If you look at the images in the library that you moved do they have the referenced file badge? If you run a filter on your library looking for referenced files do the images you relocated show up? If you select one of the images and do a Show in Finder what does it show? Finally if you select the images and do Locate Referenced files do they appear listed as being on the volume you put them on?
    You could go into the library and look for the masters you moved to see if they are still there but if all the above show you they were relocated then I don;t think you will find them.
    How are you checking the library size? Have you quit Aperture and restarted it (better would be to log out and log back in) and then checked the size? It is possible that some of that data is cached and won't get updated till you restart.
    Finally you could do a library repair in case something got 'stuck'.

  • How do I get iTunes 10 to play movie files as their actual size?

    In iTunes (10), I have several iTunes purchases/rentals as well as movie files I've created on my own and converted into .mp4 format. My problem is that I really would like to play these files as their actual size, but can't seem to get iTunes to cooperate. I'm sure there's an easy way to do this and I've tried the quick-keyboard command (command-1), but without luck for both the iTunes official files (m4v) and the .mp4s.  Any help is very appreciated.

    Or you can set iTunes to always open movies in their own window.
    iTunes prefs > Playback.
    iTunes 10.5 (on 10.6.8) doesn't have a "playback in separate window" option.
    Fortunately, the effectively hidden right-click "Playback Video in Separate Window" option is still available, and this choice holds for future videos.
    I can keep my iTunes window on my left monitor and playback videos on my larger, widescreen middle monitor.

  • Photo Both video (.mov) file size in Lion

    Photo Both in Lion saves videos (.mov) with double the file size of previous versions.  I have verified by looking at a 30 second video created pre-Lion (2.1mb) and a new 30 second video created post-Lion (4.1mb) on the same MacBook Air.  I have seen even more drastic file size increses on a newer MacBook Pro; more that 20mb for a video that used to be under 2mb. 
    There are no settings available in Photo Booth.  And as stated in other threads there is no method in Mail to resize a video, this option is only available for images.  The only functioning workaroud is to open the .mov file in Quicktime and then export for the web.  This is OK, but the beauty of Photobooth and the Mail button within was the ability to just quickly fire off a video.  Opening another app, exporting and then attaching to an email is no longer simple or beautiful.
    Does anyone know why the filesizes have jumped up so drastically?  More importantly, does anyone know how to get the file size of videos created in Photo Booth back under control so they can be emailed more easily?

    UPDATE:  Using any of the effects in photo booth videos greatly reduces the file size.  This seems a bit contrary to what I would expect.  Adding birds flying around my head cuts the video size in half.  Sepia cuts down to 1/3.  Black and white, the one that isnt a suprise, is less that 1/4 the file size of just plain old color.
    Why can't I just have the nice small video files that Photo Booth used to save??

  • Different movie file sizes - different videos??

    I downloaded the Flex 4 In a Week videos for offline viewing a few months ago.
    Today I noticed that, in conjunction with an overhaul of the Flex In A Week web page, the movie files posted therein have changed in size.  They are several megs smaller than the corresponding videos I downloaded a few months ago.  Have the videos changed, or have they only been compressed more for faster download?
    Thanks

    Hi Gusetva,
    All of the content for the videos are the same.  Looks like they just compressed the files.
