Slow (10 hours for 1 hour movie) sharing to Media Browser

I'm sharing my project to the Media Browser to use in iDVD. For a 1 hour movie it is taking 10 hours. Is that normal? Help please. iMac G5. OS 10.4.newest

Hi
well G5 and X.4.11 - not so fast but 10h sounds much
1 hour to DVD on 600MHz G3 was about 24-36 hours once up on a time.
• free space on internal boot hard disk ? How much ?
• other programs running in parallell ?
• RAM amount ?
• QuickTime version ?

  • Why does Sharing to Media Browser cause my Mac to freeze?

    I have an iMAC with an intel Core 2 Duo and 3 GB of Memory. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8
    I just got the new iLife 11 package. We have a Panasonic HDC-TM90 I shot video using AVCHD setting.
    I was able to inport into iMovie, view, edit, set up themes, set up my project - yadda yadda yadda
    I am now trying to Share the project so that I can burn it to DVD. I tried to share to the media browser and have tried selecting HD 1080p, HD 720p, and Large - All attempts have resulted in my computer locking up.

    Hi
    A. Why HD 1080p or HD 720p ? (not for making a DVD I hope as this will not give any good result)
    (for iDVD - Do - Share to Media Browser and as Large to get best possibly outcome (Never Share to iDVD))
    (BTW - no DVD can be HD-DVDs any more and only a rare number of Toshiba HD-DVD players could Playback. DVD is as standard interlaced SD-Video)
    B. Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk - for use of standard def video (SD-Video) I never go under 25Gb free space - and if material is in HD I guess that 4-5 times more will do as a minimum)

  • When I share my, 1 hour i movie project with media browser, I lose audio after 45 minutes

    What do I share my i movie project with that will ensure the all the audio is encoded?  I have shared the 1 hour project with media browser and iDvd but audio stops at 45 minutes.  The rest of the project plays but without audio.  I have imovie 09

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    clip-2008-11-21 18; 37; 22 1 is not conventional nomenclature for imported clips, it seems as though this clip may have been imported twice and one of the copies deleted after it has been used in the project. Have you looked in the events folder for such a clip.

  • 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.

  • Problems finding movie in iDVD after sharing through Media Browser

    I created an iMovie in the '08 version and am now trying to burn to a DVD. I have followed the tutorial for rendering the project through the Share-Media Browser option, but when I open the iDVD application, I cannot find my movie under "Movies". It's listed, but grayed out.
    Does anyone know what I may have done wrong?
    Thanks.

    I'm wondering if it has something to do with how I created the file originally. I could be missing something very obvious here.
    If you shared your iMovie '08 project to the "Media Browser" (or published to the Gallery), the file creation should have been automatic and supposedly foolproof to specific settings. However, just to be sure, have you tried opening the "Project" package at the finder level to play the movie in the QT Player and examine its statistics to ensure they are what they should be? It might give some clue as to why the file is "unavailable" in iDVD.

  • My movie works fine in imovie but when shared with media browser the audio isn't right

    My movie in imovie works fine. Once I share it with media browser (in order to make a dvd) the movie audio doesn't sync right. There is also extra audio that isn't in the imovie. 

    Hi
    How do You "Share to Media Browser" ?
    As ?
    • Mobile
    • Medium
    • Large
    • HD 720p
    • HD 1080p
    I use Large or Medium - and if audio ill behaves as Large - I use Medium
    Never Mobile or HD - as resulting DVD will be bad.
    And never "Share to iDVD" as this too is far from optimal.

  • 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.

  • IMovie08 Shared to Media Browser Medium not displayed in iDVD Media Browser

    Please help.
    I have iMovie08 and iDVD 6.03.
    I have successfully Shared an iMovie08 clip Medium size to Media Browser. I see the icon displayed for medium on iMovie08 Project Summary as published.
    However, in iDVD Media Browser the only folders I display are:
    Movies
    ->DiVX Movies
    ->iMovie Events
    ->iMovie Projects
    The iMovie08 clip is not in any of these folders.
    Plus, when I click on iMovie Projects folder I receive the following message:
    To see iMovie projects here, use iMovie 3 or later to save them to the Movies folder. To add other movie folders, drag them to the list above.
    **I'm really confused. I have iMovie08**
    What am I missing?
    Thank you got to finish this project ....thanks again..

    I have iMovie08 and iDVD 6.03.
    Would assume iDVD 7.0 is required to see files "Published" to the Media Browser. These files are stored in a new location (the "iMovie Projects" package in a "Movies" folder) and older versions of iDVD may not be aware of their location/how to include them in the "Media" list. If you must use iDVD v6.0.3, then suggest you either copy the published file (or drop an alias of the published file) into your user "Movies" folder or copy the file to an external folder which you can "drag to the list above" as suggested by the message you quoted. (Have not tried any of these myself, so if you try one and it works, let us know your results.)

  • Sharing to Media Browser problem

    My movie is complete. I want to share to the Media Browser. It shares it no problem, except for the background audio on the clips. The video looks good, the music is fine, but NO background audio.
    I've already tried sharing it to QuickTime and other choices with no luck. Any ideas?

    Yup, I saw exactly the same problem. It appears that using the 'share' function in the media browser ceates files with the same name but in a different directory, but when iWeb posts the site it doesn't use the directory info, resulting in all moies pointing to the same movie. I found two different workarounds:
    1) Rename each movie to a unique name in the finder
    2) Use Export instead of 'share', and add those movies.
    Neither solution is as elegant as 'share' in the media browser, but they both work.

  • How do i play my imovie project after sharing to media browser

    I created an imovie project and clicked the share menu then clicked media browser.  I do not have iDVD because it didn't come with my mac. The movie is no longer under my project library and it is only under the movies folder, but it won't play at all.

    You need to get a Mac. Then you need your RCPROJECT file as well as any Events or Photos that were referenced in the Movie. The RCPROJECT file is a hexadecimal file that contains the paths to the Event video clips with In and Out points, Titles, transitions, paths to music, paths to photos, etc. If you want to play it on a PC, you need to use the SHARE menu in iMovie. Share it as an h.264 file or as an MP4.
    To play on a PC, get QuickTime for Windows (which is free) and play it there as is.

  • Sharing to Media Browser

    When i 'Share' an iMovie as 'Media Browser' it should save it in 'Movies/iMovie Projects''
    I have looked there and in 'Users/me/Movies/iMovie Projects'
    and it's  not there.
    And it's not available in the iDVD media. Yet iMovie thinks it's there as it won't let me save it a 2nd time by being greyed out.
    What gives? Where is it saving it?

    Hi
    When You Share to Media Browser in iMovie - WHAT resolution do You select ?
    iDVD need - MEDIUM or ev. Large - Not HD or any of the others as resulting DVD if any will be bad (far from optimal)
    Best quality You can get is by using a Video-Editing program that handles interlaced Video
    • iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - DON'T
    • iMovie up to HD6 - Does so
    • FinalCut any version - does this too
    This is due to DVD as Standard - it is and can not be any better than - interlaced SD-Video Quality

  • Why do I constantly get loading times of more than 200 hours for a movie rental on Apple TV, but I can stream any netflix movie without issue?

    It doesn't really make sense.  I have changed the video settings to lower resolution, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.  My first two movies with my Apple TV worked fine, but since then I am not able to get 5 minutes into a movie without it pausing and telling me it will be ready to view in 4, 24, 187, 224 hours.

    If you're not getting the same problem with sound on films/TV programmes that you've bought (if you are then you could try re-posting in the Apple TV forum on here for how to fix it) then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Updating Song Attributes for Multiple Users Sharing a Media Folder

    I have 2 users on the same iMac, each with their own library but sharing the same media folder. If one user updates song attribute information (example - adding the song year), how does the other user update his library with those attribute changes? I tried to do File-->Add to library which is the way one user adds songs to his library that the other user added, but that didn't work. If I play the song, it updates the information. If I select File-->Get Info for a single song, it updates the information, but if I select multiple songs it does NOT update the information.

    Got into the same issue today; I selected all the songs and updated the ratings. That helped to sync with the latest attributes. If you care about your song ratings.. then this might not help you.
