Splitting Large Video Files

I have just finished crafting my sisters wedding video and the resultant M2T file generated by PE9 is 10GB - and looks great on the computer. However,the file size has presented a problem, how on earth do I get it onto a PS3? For my home PS3, I can transfer it over wireless. But my plan to ship it on a USB stick for my sister to put in her PS3 has come undone thanks to the FAT file size limitations.
So apart from reducing the video quality or buying a bluray burner (neither option attractive), how can I do it? If I could split it the file up into smaller parts I could create a playlist on the PS3 to join the parts together but I'm not exactly keen on rendering lots of small parts with PE9. I guess I'm looking for some 3rd party tool to split the M2t file?
Any ideas?

The splitting will certainly work, with a bit of effort and downloading two copies (one for you and one for her) of the free utility - great utility, BTW.
You could also pick up an external with USB connections, Convert it to NTSF, and then the file size limitation goes away. Now, whether a PS3 will read NTSF is beyond my knowledge. Also, I do not know if a memory stick can be Converted. Just in case, this ARTICLE will give you tips.
Were it me, I'd opt for the BD burner route, but even with the prices falling, I understand why one might not run that out instantly.
Good luck,

Splitting large video files into small chunks and combining them

Hi All,
Thank you for viewing my thread. I have searched for hours but cannot find any information on this topic.
I need to upload very large video files. The files can be something like 10GB in size, currently .mpeg format but they may be .mp4 format later on too.
Since the files will be uploaded remotely using using internet from the clients mobile device (3G or 4G in UK) I need to split the files into smaller chunks. This way if there is a connection issue (very likely as the files are large) I can resume the upload without doing the whole 10gb again.
My question is, what can I use to split a large file like 10Gb into smaller chunks like 200mb, upload the files and then combine them again? Is there a jar file that I can use. i cant install stuff like ffmpeg or JMF on the clients laptops.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Imran

There is a Unix command called split that does just that splits a file into chunks of a size you specify. When you want to put the bits bact together you use the command cat.
If you are comfortable in the terminal you can look at the man page for split for more information.
Both commands are data blind and work on binary as well as text files so I would think this should work for video but of course check it out to see if the restored file still works as video.

How to split large video files into multiple individual clips by date

Hello. I'm looking for a freeware/shareware program (if one exists, or willing to pay for one if it does this well) that will:
1) Analyze a large AVI file identifying the start/start points of each segment of video and the dates the video segments were shot.
2) Then allow me to organize (for example, join 2 or more segments together if it's a video with a lot of start/stop points during the same shot) the segments identified in step 1 into logical clips that could be split apart from the 1 large AVI file.
3) Lastly, it would split my one large AVI file into the multiple clips or files that I identified in step 2.
A piece of software called FootTrack does a great job analyzing AVI files as I describe in steps 1 & 2, but it doesn't allow you to split or export the one avi file into multiple avi files.
I really don't want to have to do this one clip at a time, I've got to believe there's a program out there that will automate this process for me.
Thanks

I don't know of a way to automate it. I just did about 15 years worth. It wasn't too hard. I use an application called mpegstreamclip. Its very easy and free to download either from the apple site or direct from its site.

Bascically you set the in and out points with the i and o keys and export.

What is the best program for splitting large video files (for archiving)?

I have just finished a project and I want to back up everything to DVD-R discs, including all my capture files and completed movies exported from Final Cut. Some of the files are 5 or 6 Gb, too large for one DVD-R disc.
I tried downloading a program called MacHacha, and did a test on one file, splitting it into 3 segments and then joining it back together with the same program. The resulting file should have been a duplicate of the original, but it was not. It was not even recognized by QuickTime Player as a .mov file.
What program do you use for this purpose? What program is reliable for this and produces a joined file that is identical to the original?
Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your help and suggestions. I tried a couple of experiments with a video file that has chapter markers. This was created in FCE using the "Export - QuickTime Movie" command.
One experiment was to bring the file into a new, blank sequence in FCE. Then export it right back out as a QuickTime movie. The resulting movie appears to be identical to the original, except that there are no chapter markers any more.
The second experiment was to make a duplicate of the original sequence which I used to make the movie in the first place. In this duplicate, I deleted everything except the chapter markers. I then brought in the video file into that sequence and exported it. The resulting file appears to be identical, and this one does have the chapter markers.
The only problem with doing it that way is that I lose all my edits. What if I wanted to edit something or adjust one of my original edits? I can't go back to that stage, with all my original edits, if I don't have all the original source files.
In addition, it's not clear to me exactly how I would use FCE as the "splitting program." How do you split a sequence into smaller parts?
All I really want to do is take a "snapshot" of the entire project, including all the source files, capture scratch files, etc. I don't need to back up the render files because those can easily be re-rendered. The entire project is taking up about 72 Gb on my hard drive, and I want to offload the whole thing. Even if it takes me 20 DVD-R discs to do it, that's no problem. Someone must have come up with a program or solution to do this.
Thanks!

How to use and publish large video files in presenter 7 ?

I am creating video intensive e-learning contents in presenter 7 (updated to 7.05).
I generally, use 2 or 3 flv files (up to 50 MB size) in my presentation.
After I publish my presentation in a web site, users must wait too long for watching any single video.
Is there any method to use large video files (flv or any format) in presenter 7 and users can watch videos without any delay?
Best regards.

The problem you're facing is that Adobe Presenter output video playback is primarily Progressive Download rather than Streaming.
Options, for you, include:
1) Figure out a streaming video solution
2) Use Adobe Media Encoder to compress/squash your video into more manageable sizes before importing the video into Presenter. I have found a decent compromise is the Web Medium preset as its datarate of 600kbps is just about the most a DSL connection can handle.
3) Split your videos (instead of 2-3 50MB files, you'd have 4-6 25MB files).

Segmenting large video files

can anyone recommend a software to divide up large video files into 1GB chunks ready for upload to my iDisk storage. The files will be in MPEG2 format.

You can break up large files into smaller segments using the Terminal command "Split".
In the following example, we will break an (imaginary) movie, "MyFilm.mov" into 1000MB pieces.
Place the file to be split onto the desktop (this keeps it simple, otherwise you will have to "cd" to the directory where your movie resides)
Open Terminal and...
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return.
TYPE: *split -b 1000m MyFilm.mov* and press return.
This will produce a number of files on your desktop named xaa, xab, xac and so on. There is a way to retain the original name or rename the file to something else but I don't have documentation on this at hand. You could move them to a suitably named folder.
The "1000m" part of the command is the size of the individual split files (in this case, the file will be broken into pieces of approx. 1000MB each
This may take some time to process, depending on the total size of the resulting files, how much RAM you have and the speed of your Mac.
At some point, your archived files will need to be re-assembled into a viewable movie. So....
Rejoin a set of split files:
Place all the files "xaa", "xab" etc, that are to be rejoined, onto the desktop
(keep it simple, remember...)
In Terminal;
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return.
Type cat x* > MyFilm.mov and press return. Again, this may take some time, depending on the size of the resulting files.

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

My ipad 2 has locked up when trying to send a large video file. What do I do? Is there a reset button.
Thank you

Assuming that it's not still trying to send the video, then you could do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Uploading Large videos Files to SharePoint 2010

Uploading Large video Files to SharePoint 2010 for employee training portal
Saidireddy

Hello ,
The default maximum file size for SharePoint Lib is 50 MB. You can change the maximum file upload size in SharePoint 2010 .However;
a large volume of very large files can affect farm performance.
Ref to change maximum file upload size
http://aryannava.com/2011/05/30/how-to-change-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-sharepoint-2010/
I would suggest you that instead of uploading large files to SharePoint, you can Upload those files to File server or
media steaming server and Share those links to SharePoint server.
You can embed those links to SharePoint Silver Media player in .mp4 or .wmv formats.

Software available for working with large video files?

Hello,
I'm working in PP CS6. I was wondering if there are any workarounds or 3rd party plugins/software that
make working with really large video files easier and faster?
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for helping. This is the first time I shot video with my Nikon D5200. It was only a 3 minute test clip
set at the highest resolution, 1920x1080-60i. I saw the red line above the clip in PP CS6 and hit the enter
key to render the clip.
It took almost 18 minutes or so to render the clip. This is probably normal but I was wondering if there is
a way to reduce the file size so it doesn't take quite as long to render. I just remember a few years back
that when the Red camera was out, guys were working with really huge files and there was a program
from Cine something that they used to reduce the file size and make it more manageable when editing.
I could be mistaken. I've been out of the editing look for a few years and just getting back into it.
Thanks.
Mark

Is there a way to send a large video file through email, not using websites?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is an easy way to send a large video file through email, not using websites such as yousendit.com.
If anyone knows please respond, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

No there isn't. Most all Email providers, whether your ISP or some other provider like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft with their Outlook.com or Office365 and Apple's own iCloud system, have a linit on the max size a email can be. Most are around 10MBs some slightly larger but if the vieo you want to send to someone it larger than that you will have to upload it to a website and then have the people you want to view it download it from that website.
