Too much info to fit on DVD?

Probably a stupid question, but when creating a project in FCE and then exporting to iDVD, how can I know when I am close to having too much "project" to fit on a DVD?
In other words, I don't want to keep creating projects on my timeline if I have already (unknowingly) filled up the space available on the DVD. Is there a guage somewhere that can be used as a guideline? Especially since I will also have a short slideshow as part of the menu in iDVD.
Thanks so much for any input you can muster!

Dakine,
What matters is the length (in time) of your video. As a general rule, you can put up to 2 hours of video on a single layer DVD. To the extent that you add templates, menus, slideshows, etc. to your DVD project they will decrease the space available for video on the same DVD.
iDVD has meters that show your project duration and how much space is used & still available in your DVD project as you add menus & assets to your project. By the way, iDVD 7 has greatly enhanced reporting of space availability compared to iDVD 6 or earlier. FCE cannot tell you that information.
In any case, if you have already added your slideshow to the DVD, you could estimate how many minutes of video might fit by multiplying the remaining space in GB by 25. So, for example, if you have already used 1.2 GB in your DVD project, 4.2GB - 1.2GB = 3.0 GB remaining available. Multiply that by 25 mins/GB, and you could fit about 75 min of video in the same DVD project. (Note: 4.2GB is the estimated capacity of a single-layer DVD for purposes of these calculations, as is 25 min/GB. Also, this is only for purposes of calculating remaining capacity in your DVD project - the size of the file you export from FCE has no bearing on these calculations; only the length in time is relevant.)

My user data ( music, movies, et. al.) take up too much space to fit on my SSD. How do I use the user folder I've copied to my new iMac's hard drive?

As above. I can use Migration Assistant to move my account from my old machine, but the data are far too extensive to fit on the solid state drive. I copied my user folder over to the new hard drive, but how do I access its contents? More accurately, how do I set the folder on the hard drive as my default storage space?

Hello, very good info here...

Web Gallery CS4 Journal with Slideshow giving too much info

I have photos from a number of authors. There are also various functions for which I want a slide show for each. I would like the information on the left of the slide to give the Description (if present), and the person who took the photo.
No matter how many items I uncheck in various metadata panels, I still get:
Creation date
Date file modified
Camera make
Camera model
x resolution
y resolutin
resolution unit
Image size
Metering mode
File source
Focal length
Max aperture value
Flash fired
I have unchecked any of these that I have found ANYWHERE in Bridge, but cannot get rid of them. This information is definitely not necessary on the website where they will be posted.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these items. It is a real pain to try to remove them from the xml file when saved to disk (and there are a LOT of photos to process.
I am using OSX 10.5.7 and supposedly Bridge is up to date.

Hi there!
I have found a much easier way to fix this, and you don't have to start over by building your web galleries in Photoshop. You just have to alter the code a little bit.
By all means, create your way cool web galleries in Bridge, but look in the "resources" folder that Bridge creates when it makes a web gallery. Inside the "resources" folder you will find a file called "group.xml". Open it in Dreamweaver or whatever you use and view the code. Scroll down until you see <item>. The next lines will contain all that pesky information you want to delete. For example, you might see <title>filename.jpg<title>. Simply delete the file name so that you end up with <title><title>.
That's it! Repeat for all the information you need to delete, or write in something better. Then hit F5 to refresh the code.
Even an artist like me can do it. No geeky talents needed. Enjoy.

Incoming messages have way too much info

When i get an email it gives me info such as: received, X-Originating-Ip, X-Authority-Analysis and other random info. Is there a setting where I can just have it show the basic information? Thank you.

go to Mail menu->Preferences, click on Viewing tab and select default for "Show header details".

Too much info

Hi! I am getting too many answers printed- how do I get this to print the minimum number only once??
public class Minimum {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Initialize the list
    double[] myList = {1,2,4,5,10,100,2,-22};
    // Print the original list
    System.out.println("My list is: ");
    printList(myList);
    // Sort the list
    selectionSort(myList);
/** The method for printing numbers */
static void printList(double[] list) {
    for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
      System.out.print(list[i] + " ");
    System.out.println();
/** The method for sorting the numbers */
static void selectionSort(double[] list) {
    double currentMin;
    int currentMinIndex;
    for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
      // Find the smallest in the list[i..list.length-1]
      currentMin = list;
currentMinIndex = i;
for (int j = i + 1; j < list.length; j++) {
if (currentMin > list[j]) {
currentMin = list[j];
currentMinIndex = j;
// Swap list[i] with list[currentMinIndex] if necessary;
if (currentMinIndex != i) {
list[currentMinIndex] = list[i];
list[i] = currentMin;
//print the minimum number
System.out.println("The minimum number is: " + list[0]);

From the title I was expecting a tale of biological excess of some kind or other. Oh, well.if (currentMinIndex != i) {
   list[currentMinIndex] = list;
list[i] = currentMin; //print the minimum number
System.out.println("The minimum number is: " + list[0]);
}You're printing out a number each and every time you change the order; move the println statement to after the closing brace of the outer for loop.

RMAN SCREEN TOO MUCH INFO

Hi, anyone who gives to me the way to pause the screen as soon as you have a lot of info on that?
EX. im running a report obsolete to know what backups are obsolete and delete them, but i have a lot of screens then i dont know information.
another example, list backkupset summary.......i have a lot of backupsets, i want to review ther numbers by screen.
I want to pause the screen like we do on linux | more or something like that.
I hope somebody know about it and let me know the answer.
my email is [email protected]

You could use the LOG option on your command line or you could use SPOOL LOG once in RMAN.
In addition, you can launch RMAN as:
rman | tee rman.logor simply specify a range for the LIST command to cover. For example,
list backupset summary completed before 'sysdate - 2';

Printer prints too much info on a page(hp photosmart 5520)

I just tried to print a certain page from my banks account and i just wanted to print a certain information but there were 3 different section of the page all 3 on top of another so it printed everything on top of another. How do i fix it so i can just print the 1 area and not all 3 thanks Len

Hello ekra,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not printing any ink on the pages.
I do have a few steps we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also have a great document that deals with when the Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart Plus B209a, ....
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cheers,

Rss:PubDate gives too much info to iWeb Blog RSS feed

Hi All!
Blog pages are setup in iWeb, and I've got an external "bot" that subscribes to the RSS feed from the blog. I'm grabbing the feed and stripping the {rss:pubDate}, {rss:title} and {rss:description} fields from the feed to re-format for posting in a discussion forum. (Note: no copyright issues here, as I write the blog, publish the feed, and host/admin/moderate the forum.)
I'm wondering if the {rss:PubDate} field can be stripped down to include less information in the feed? It seems the PubDate is derived from the date and time of the blog post that's feeding it. ie: I enter 12/28/1993 in the blog entry "Date" field... the RSS feed comes out with the date I entered, AND the time of day and GMT offset the post was created. I don't need the time of day and GMT offset in my forum post headlines... is there any way to put less information into the {rss:PubDate} field via the blog entry page in iWeb? I'd like my {rss:PubDate} field to read "12/28/1993" instead of "12/28/1993 04:23:57 -0800"
Ideas?
-Case

Bonjour
For RSS feed, iWeb only use the URL you write in the Site Publishings settings. Make sure that you've written http://thesnugglycactus.net/ and not https://thesnugglycactus.net/
But I don't really think that you wrote https, otherwise RSS feed would not be your only issue.

I am using the flash builder beta 2 plug in with Zend Studio 7 and I have got swfs embedded in mx:image tags.
Maybe it is an issue with Zend Studio and what it displays in the console... Maybe it is a setting I don't know about in Flash Builder or it could be the embedded swfs... but if anyone can help i would really appreciate it..
at the moment there are so many messages it is hard for me to locate my trace statements. blessings..

still looking for an answer if anyone can help..?

Managing project to fit on DVD

I am new to FCEHD and have been working my way through Tom Wolsky's book. Question: I got carried away and imported and edited a project that has entirely too much content to fit on a DVD. Ultimately, I would like to make three separate DVDs (one for Halloween material, one for Thanksgiving, etc). Now that I've imported all the material and have edited it, what do I do to parse the relevant sections out so I can export to iDVD to eventually burn to a DVD. Sorry for any confussion in the question; it is difficult to articulate.

Roland
You can fit up to two hours of FCE timeline using iDVD.
Add chapter markers to segment it or export different movies from the timeline. The choice is yours.

Too much footage for dvd

How do you know if imovie footage will fit on a standard dvd or if there is too much?
Is it as simple as keeping the imovie project under 2 hours?

yepp.
.. in reallife a little less than 120min, because menus, buttons, themes 'eat' a bit of disk's space ...

How Much Video Can Fit on a DVD Burned in Encore???

Hi there,
I'm hoping the always helpful adobe community can help me with a question I've had for a while. I am using Adobe Production Suite CS4 and frequently making DVDs in Encore. I am filming with a Canon XH-A1 camera, capturing with HDV Split, and importing the footage into premiere where it is recognized as being .M2T files and 1440x1080.
I am wondering how much video I can dynamic link into Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality? Is there someway to tell within Encore, or is there a rule of thumb on which to go by? How about for Blu-Rays?
Also, given the answer to the question above, is there a way to make longer DVDs while maintaining the same high quality - such as with Dual-Layers? I don't know much about Dual Layers or much on this topic in general, so any info would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

>Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality?
There is no such thing as 100% quality when you go from HD to the SD that is on a DVD
Read the Tutorial HD to SD w/CS4 http://bellunevideo.com/tutorials/CS4_HD2SD/CS4_HD2SD.html for ideas
As to how much you may fit at "high" quality... that all depends on the subject matter
A soccer game with a lot of fast action will require a higher bitrate setting and take more space than a speaker standing still at a podium
There is no one answer
Yes, you may fit more on a dual layer DVD... I think that is discussed in the user guide
The individual CS5 pages also have links to the CS4 user guide pages

DVD Burn Error: too much motion menu content yet not much.

hi
Keep getting this when i try to burn my DVD, can anyone advise?
+- The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:+
+- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.+
Message was edited by: Logic Pro

Perhaps you can elaborate a bit more. How many menus do you have in the project? In the scenes menus how many motion buttons do you have? How many differen audio files are you using in the menus? Of the files you dropped into motion menus/buttons, how long are those clips? How long are the various audio files you are using? ? ? ? ?? ????? ???????????
I can't see your project so I have no idea what you are already using and if what you have is clearly excessive or not.

Upgraded to iPhoto '11, info tray takes up too much space?

Is there a way of resizing or moving the info tray from the side of screen to the bottom like '09 version?
Mostly interested in minimal view to see date, size of photo taken. Screen size on 13.3" so info bar takes up too much space.

No. That feature is hard coded into the app. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The Command+i key combination can quickly open and close the Info tray to get it out of your way.

Info & mini guile (down arrow) takes up too much screen area

Info & "mini guide" are overlayed on "opaque" box and take up almost half the height. That's not acceptable.
In earlier version, they were overlayed transparently and took up small area.
There's a lot of area wated at the bottom with no information. Either reduce area, mainly height it blocks or show full channel video in remaining uppper unblocked area in reduced size, as done in cases of full guide and channel guide.

I agree. Too much inefficient waste of space that could be eliminated or filled with more useful content.
