Why won't these videos fit on a 120min 4.7Gb disc?

There have been situations in which when I am using 120 min 4.7GB DVD+R discs, that iDVD tells me that the video/videos I insert onto a project exceeds the macimum duration of the disc. It doesn't make any sense when I drop a 1 hour and 30 min.,700mb .avi movie onto a project and it tells me that. Why is this happening?

iDVD mpg-2 compresses everything. The size of your raw content in MB isn't significant - what IS significant is the running time in minutes. iDVD can put up to 60 minutes of content on a single-layer disc in 'Best Performance' encoding mode or up to 120 minutes ion the 'High Quality' of 'Professional Quality modes.
BTW, 4.7 GB is the advertising capacity in decimal form; as far as a computer is concerned, the capacity is 4.37 GB.

Hi There,
I had the same problem took me several hours to try and sort it out but nothing worked.
I then went to the following apple link

Follow everything to a T and you will get the use of your Itunes again.
Hope this helps. Good luck (And remember to breath lol )

Hey there Ray_J,
I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Why don't these videos display in Final Cut Pro X?

I am very new to using my iMac and to final cut pro. I can't figure out why these videos don't display video in the application. They play fine with audio in FCP and they are perfectly watchable through quicktime on the Mac. I have a screenshot, just ask if there is any other information you need to help me resolve the problem, thanks!!

Tom is correct it is a Sanyo camera whih shoots in MPEG4, I was actually unaware that fcp doesnt support this!
When i put the files into a project they just display exactly the same, the audio works but no visual to them!
I will try what yous have suggested when i get home from work this evening and hopefully the converted files will play nicely!
Thank you both!

Why don't these videos show up in Final Cut Pro X?

Okay so I am very new to my iMac and to using final cut pro for editing. I have been using Premiere Pro for a while so im not new to this type of software. However i cannot work out why Final Cut Pro won't show me the video to these clips. It plays the clip fine and the Audio works so i can hear it playing, Just nothing gets displayed on the icon, or in the preview screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Your screen shot didn't load. Not sure what you were trying to show but you need to give the exact specs of the media as they appear in the movie inspector of the QuickTime player.

Why won't my prject fit on one DVD

I am trying to put a wedding reception that is 3.38 GB onto a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 2. But when I put it in a menu and try to print it says that the disc can't hold 5 GB of info. Why is it so much? The disc claims to hold up to 6 hrs in ep mode. Why can't I do that? How can they fit King Kong on one DVD and I can't fit this wedding reception? Please help, the project is long overdue and I can't figure this out.
What's even weirder is that when I create a separate for buttons DVD Studio Pro tries to put the same file on the disc TWICE meaning that that huge 3.38 GB file is being burned twice. Why? It shouldn't have to do that. Please help, I'm desperate.

What is the total length of your video in minutes?
What is your average bit rate for encoding the video?
How long have you been working with DVD SP?
What "disc claims to hold up to 6 hrs in ep mode?"
There is no ep mode for DVD authoring.
King Kong is encoded on a DL disc, not a DVD 5.

Why won't these pop ups go away

I tried downloading untorent and once it was open I said screw it to learning how to use it and threw it in my trash and deleted it. After that I can't stop getting popups! I use google and a pop up comes up at the bottom ,other sights I go to they pop up on both sides of the window. Also a whole new window opens for some gaming sight or if I use netflix then it jumps to a new tab for some random sight. For example I click on a movie or next for the next page then it opens a whole new tab to some random sight. I don't know what to do please help :/

You probably installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Why won't my video in my keynote presentation play in my iBook?

I have created a keynote animation to import into my iBook. When viewed in Keynote the videos play automatically like they should. However, once place into the iBook and previewed on the iPad they appear as a black box that then changes to white. The rest of the animation works great it's just that the videos won't play. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

try sharing your Keynote to HTML and then dragging the resulting file to a page in iBooks.

Why won't any video clips load in Firefox from any site? Explorer works fine

For some reason I can not get any of the videos to open up in any program. Has some setting changed not allowing this? Doesn't matter what type of video or specific site. My Explorer browser works fine. Should I remove Firefox and reinstall it?

Oh, I see, you do not want the Sitename in the URL?
Read this :
     The concept of iWeb Sites
A Site, which is just a folder, is a convenient way to organize your pages based on topic, subject or whatever you choose to keep relevant pages together. I’ve been doing that for the past 17 years, and I find it rather natural.
But since iWeb is doing it, it seems to confuse & frustrate people. iWeb shouldn’t do it, they say. As if there is a law that demands it.
To avoid the Sitename in the URL, read my solution. It's very technical but in the end it saves time. And best of all, iWeb is not involved :
     Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
An easier, time-wasting, solution is to publish to a folder on your desktop.
Open that Site folder and move the content of that folder to the root of the webserver with a FTP application.
(The root of a webserver is where the file or folder, shown immediately to the righthand side of the domainname, is stored.)
Everytime you make changes to a page, you have to repeat these steps.
But the result is what you want.
And here's a re-post with some additional info about using an index.php file to avoid overwriting the index.html file iWeb creates :
    Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
Works on all servers. With or without a subdomain I may add. Like this one :
     http://wyodor.byethost8.com/htdocs/index.html
Not as easy as publishing to a folder, but in the end it saves time. Again.
See this post that explained the link above :
Re: iWeb keeps populating a site name at the end of my url. Causing error.

Why won't my video clips open?

As of about 2 weeks ago video clips emailed to me won't open, especially Utube clips but also clips on CNN,com,etc. The same urls in the same emails open and run perfectly on my wife's MacBook Air. so it must not be the sender or email but my Mac specifically. I don't recall blocking anything or changing preferences. All suggestions are welcomed. Thanks. (PS, I logged in to Utube which didn't help.)

HT2729 Why won't certain videos (downloaded from iTunes) sync on my iPod?

I have a new iPod Classic and it won't sync some of my videos. I've reset it. I've got everything checked. All files and videos play in my library. There all in the same location and files. Its After syncing I get the "some videos were not synced because the format is not supported". All the vids were downloaded from iTunes Store. WTH? Can anyone think of a solution? What is wrong?
Thanks,
WB

Hey Willm700,
Great question. iTunes defaults to downloading HD content when available, whereas your iPod classic is not compatible with HD playback. The solution would be to download the SD version of the content from your purchase history:
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device.
Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation):
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why won't my videos play in iTunes when I already downloaded them?

I downloaded an episode to watch along with a few songs....they downloaded on my iPad and now they are showing up in my purchased but its only playing 30 seconds of the episode and the songs won't play at all. Can anyone help?

iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store. Videos and tv shows that you've synced and/or downloaded to the iPad go into the Videos app :
Songs that you've synced or downloaded go into the iPod or Music app (depending on which version of iOS you have) :

Why won't Flash videos play in Facebook?

I can't seem to get Flash videos to play in Facebook. I hear sound, but just get a blank black screen where I would expect to see the video. Youtube videos work fine.
If I browse to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html I see the following:
"Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer", it shows the following under Step 1:
Congratulations, your computer has the latest Flash Player installed.
Start playing games, listening to music, and watching videos!
YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION
Your Flash Version
12.0.0.44
Your browser name
Internet Explorer (I'm using IE 11)
Your Operating System (OS)
Windows (Windows 7) (I have a 64bit OS)
I followed Stpes 2, 3, and 4, and even see the Flash video of a swaying tree on the page under Step 5, which makes me thing Flash is correctly installed yet I'm still unable to get videos to play on Facebook.
Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
- Deleted %apphost%\flash and %apphost%\macromedia folders from my system
- Uninstall/reinstall Adobe Flash
- Reset Internet Explorer setting to default settings, cleared browsing history, and deleted temporary internet files
- Confirmed under "Manage Add-Ons" that "Shockwave Flash Object" is enabled
- Ensure clean Host and LMHost files
I'd greatly appreciate other troubleshooting suggestions anyone else can provide. Thank you.

The problem is... not Flash Player.... it's Ie 11.
Microsoft intentionally screwed up the "User-Agent Strings" that websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. If a website can ID it at all, it misidentifies it as either Gecko (Firefox) or Webkit (Safari), but since the full browser engine isnt there, IE then becomes an unidentifiable visitor.
The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

HT2729 Why won't my video button work?

My photo button works fine, but when I press the video button, nothing happens.

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if you can record video when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try 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.

Why doesn't my video fit on the TV screen?

hey everyone. i hope theres answer to this. so i made a little slideshow/movie with imovie and then sent it over to idvd so that i could make a dvd out of it. with everything set in standard (4:3 or.. is it 3:4) mode, i thought itd come out fine, but both of my TVs seem to be cropping off just a little around the edges of my movie! why is that? is there anyway i can fix it? i used the zoom effect on the pictures, so with the cropping its "zooming" too much... but it looks fine on my imac screen... am i doing something wrong?
thanks in advance!
chris

actually its not a cropping effect of iDVD, it's actually a cropping effect done by the TV. if you play it in say...apple DVD player, you will see everything because computer monitors (unless you set it up wrong) don't crop images.
TV does this whole cropping thing (called "Overscan" in the industry) because back in the day (and to some extent still today), CRT TVs (the big clunky ones that aren't LCD or Plasma) are very sensitive to power ratings...if you turn on something that uses a lot of electricity...say a Vaccum, the CRT will actually shrink the video in size until you turn the vaccum off. This causes some consumers to think there is something wrong with the TV and they return it. The industry solved this problem by setting the TV tube to show display everything on the glass plus some on the internal cabin of the TV (which is the part of the picture you don't see). that way, when something draws a lot of power, the whole image doesn't shrink smalller than the display surface...it just fills it. Thus, giving the consumer the benefit of the doubt.
However, with the emergence of Plasma and LCD TVs, I'd say Overscan will be a thing of the past in a few years.

Why won't these videos fit on a 120min 4.7Gb disc?
