Appropriate file size in ADK

Dear all,
We are planning to archive a huge table, which is currently 65G. Our initiative plan of each archiving session will archive about data of 10G. We currently set file size as 100M. We are not sure if this size is appropriate. Can anyone give us suggestion about it? Thank you.

Hi Martin,
The file size setting of max 100 MB is perfectly fine. There is no need to make it higher than 100 MB. If you archive about 10G of data the size of the data in archive will be about 4G or less since data is compressed by ADK during archiving. Since the delete job run in parallel if you have more archive files then you have a possibility of running more delete jobs hence the delete job data should be faster.
Hope this helps
Cheers!

How to achieve small file size after editing compressed video?

I recieved a video in .wmv file format with a file size of 6 MB. In Premiere its info is
320 x 240 (1.0)
00;03;17;01, 30.00 fps
44100 Hz - Stereo
I want to remove a few parts from the video with simple cuts and make video file with an appropriate file size and format for playing on a web page.
I made a simple test by importing and placing the video in a sequence and without any editing exported the sequence to FLV|F4V format with the preset: F4V - Same as source(Flash 9.0r115 and higher). This created a new video with the same quality as the original but the file size went to about 40 MB which I think will make it much slower than the original 6 MB file when played back on a web page.
I tried things like reducing the frame rate to 10 fps and lowering the sound quality. This didn't affect noticably the quality but the file size was reduced only with about 5 MB to the total of 35MB which is still very big for a web video.
I'm aware that editing a highly compressed videos can't produce the same quality with the same size but I will greatly appreciate any tips for lowering the files size while retaining some usable quality in a case like this.

Since wmv is Microsoft's format, you might want to use their free editor

PDF File Size - any way to compress further?

We have are using the Crystal for .NET export method to export a report to a .pdf file, and are having an issue with the pdf file size on a report that contains images. The images are stored in a SQL2005 database as blob or varbinary(max). The report executes a stored procedure that selects data (including images) to produce a quotation. There are input parms to decide which images to print (for example A, B or both A&B). Both types of images can appear at the line level on the quotation. Type A images print in the main report, Type B images are in a subreport. Both the main report & subreport execute a stored procedure to select an image type.
Our issue, when both Type A and B image is selected to print on a 293 line quote. The PDF file size is 44.23MB
When Type A only is selected, the PDF file size is 2.64MB
When Type B only is selected, the PFD file size is 43.95MB.
There are more Type B images that would print at the line level than Type A, but is there any way to compress this down further as it is too large to email.

You mention that you are using Crystal for .NET, but not what version; CR for .NET 2003, 2005, 2008. 2010?
Applying the latest fixes for the correct version of CR would be the first thing to do.
Next, I'd have a close look at image B as it appears to be the one adding the most "bulk". How is this image different from image A?
General tips re. images:
Save the files a BMPs.
When .jpg image is inserted into Crystal Reports it is converted into bitmap format and as the result of the conversion the report may loose some quality, scale and other issues may arise... E.g.; Crystal Reports is not so good a graphics management tool
When an image is saved as a .bmp, then there is no conversion required and thus the quality of the image should be preserved.
Best practice: save the image with high resolution and required size as a .bmp format then insert this image into Crystal Reports.
Resize the image to the smallest possible size and downgrade the DPI to 72. This will ensure your image is as small as possible and Crystal Reports will have to put in the least amount of work to display it.
Have a look ar KB [1241630 - Exporting a Crystal report (XI) to PDF generates a big PDF file|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233343331333633333330%7D.do]. This KB, may apply to your version of CR, or not. In any case, you will have to use the KB as a guide and determine what the appropriate registry entry would be for your version of CR.
One more thing. Many people like to use jpg files as they are smaller than bmp files. However, as far as Crystal Reports is concerned, this is inconsequential. The report file will be the same size if a file is inserted as a jpg or a bmp. This is due to the jpg conversion to bmp Crystal Reports does internally.

A simple and free way of reducing PDF file size using Preview

Note: this is a copy and update of a 5 year old discussion in the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard discussions which you can find here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/6109398#6109398
This is a simple and free solution I found to reduce the file size of PDFs in OS X, without the high cost and awful UI of Acrobat Pro, and with acceptable quality. I still use it every day, although I have Acrobat Pro as part of Adove Creative Cloud subscription.
Since quite a few people have found it useful and keep asking questions about the download location and destination of the filters, which have changed since 2007, I decided to write this update, and put it in this more current forum.
Here is how to install it:
Download the filters here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41548940/PDF%20compression%20filters%20%28Un zip%20and%20put%20in%20your%20Library%20folder%29.zip
Unzip the downloaded file and copy the filters in the appropriate location (see below).
Here is the appropriate location for the filters:
This assumes that your startup disk's name is "Macintosh HD". If it is different, just replace "Macintosh HD" with the name of your startup disk.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.7.x or 10.8.x) then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services". This folder should already exist and contain files. Once you put the downloaded filters there, you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
If you are running an earlier vesion of OS X (10.6.x or earlier), then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/Filters" and you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Filters/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
Here is how to use it:
Open a PDF file using Apple's Preview app,
Choose Export (or Save As if you have on older version of Mac OS X) in the File menu,
Choose PDF as a format
In the "Quartz Filter" drop-down menu, choose a filter "Reduce to xxx dpi yyy quality"; "Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION" is a good trade-off between quality and file size
Here is how it works:
These are Quartz filters made with Apple Colorsinc Utility.
They do two things:
downsample images contained in a PDF to a target density such as 150 dpi,
enable JPEG compression for those images with a low or medium setting.
Which files does it work with?
It works with most PDF files. However:
It will generally work very well on unoptimized files such as scans made with the OS X scanning utility or PDFs produced via OS X printing dialog.
It will not further compress well-optimized (comrpessed) files and might create bigger files than the originals,
For some files it will create larger files than the originals. This can happen in particular when a PDF file contains other optomizations than image compression. There also seems to be a bug (reported to Apple) where in certain circumstances images in the target PDF are not JPEG compressed.
What to do if it does not work for a file (target PDF is too big or even larger than the original PDF)?
First,a good news: since you used a Save As or Export command, the original PDF is untouched.
You can try another filter for a smaller size at the expense of quality.
The year being 2013, it is now quite easy to send large files through the internet using Dropbox, yousendit.com, wetransfer.com etc. and you can use these services to send your original PDF file.
There are other ways of reducing the size of a PDF file, such as apps in the Mac App store, or online services such as the free and simple http://smallpdf.com
What else?
Feel free to use/distribute/package in any way you like.

Thanks ioscar.
The original link should be back online soon.
I believe this is a Dropbox error about the traffic generated by my Dropbox shared links.
I use Dropbox mainly for my business and I am pretty upset by this situation.
Since the filters themsemves are about 5KB, I doubt they are the cause for this Dropbox misbehavior!
Anyway, I submitted a support ticket to Dropbox, and hope everything will be back to normal very soon.
In the meantime, if you get the same error as ioscar when trying to download them, you can use the link in the blog posting he mentions.
This is out of topic, but for those interested, here is my understanding of what happened with Dropbox.
I did a few tests yesterday with large (up to 4GB) files and Dropbox shared links, trying to find the best way to send a 3 hour recording from French TV - French version of The Voice- to a friend's 5 year old son currently on vacation in Florida, and without access to French live or catch up TV services. One nice thing I found is that you can directly send the Dropbox download URL (the one from the Download button on the shared link page) to an AppleTV using AirFlick and it works well even for files with a large bitrate (except of course for the Dropbox maximum bandwidth per day limit!). Sadly, my Dropbox shared links were disabled before I could send anything to my friend.
I may have used a significant amount of bandwidth but nowhere near the 200GB/day limit of my Dropbox Pro account.
I see 2 possible reasons to Dropbox freaking out:
- My Dropbox Pro account is wronngly identified as a free account by Dropbox. Free Dropbox accounts have a 20GB/day limit, and it is possible that I reached this limit with my testing, I have a fast 200Mb/s internet access.
- Or Dropbox miscalculates used bandwidth, counting the total size of the file for every download begun, and I started a lot of downloads, and skipped to the end of the video a lot of times on my Apple TV.

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

Maximum File Size on Import?

Hello all, been a ghost reader here but this is my first question (love the forums, btw, super helpful).
I've been editing a feature film on Premiere Pro. We are nearing the end and I received a DPX sequence back from coloring. Upon importing into Premiere (Intermediate Media Timebase set to the appropriate framerate), the importer hangs up. If I click on anything, the program crashes.
Here are my questions:
Is a 2TB DPX sequence a "normal" size for any project? This seems insanely large to me, but this is also my first feature so I could just be ignorant.
If 2TB is normal, is there a maximum file size Premiere can import?If not, should my system be able to handle a 2TB file?
The 2TB file is on an external drive, connected via USB3. Potential to connect via eSATA.
System Specs:
3770k CPU
SSD for OS (256GB)
External Raid 10 - 6TB
32gb RAM
GTX 580 GPU
All help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply, Jim.
Just to clarify, a file this size (or sequence of files) is common? But generally the only way to handle them is with a RAID 3 setup?
My next question would be, isn't there a lossless format the color people could give me that isn't 2TB? The file I gave them was just over 800GB so it seems really unnecessary for it to be this large.

Folio article file size increases massively with more buttons

Hello,
we are about to finish up a DPS project and now have some serious problems with the folio sizes.
We did all the usual things to make folios smaller (cropped every image to the trimmed size, pdf articles, vektor overlays etc.)
So we made some tests and discovered a really strange behavior:
We have one single article with a fullscreen MSO containing 7 picture status, and seven buttons (with the same pictures as thumbnails) that lead to the appropriate statuses.
First we tried to experiment deleting images from the MSO but this had no effect on the file size. But as we deleted the seven buttons the file size changed from 10MB to 52MB!
The size of all the assets (images and ID file) from this article is only 12 MB.
Is this a known bug? Is there a way around it? It is some kind of crazy when an uploaded folio has 4 times the size as all his assets?!?!
Thanks in advance,
nils

Hi Bob,
sorry for my late reply.
I have done some additional testing and came to the conclusion that no button is responsible for the big file sizes.
It was the overlay setting after all (sorry for pointing in the wrong direction). As I switched the slideshow from "Raster" to "Vector" the file size decreased plenty. (I thougt I checked this but actually I did it only in vertical articles.)
However I did not know that the export format has such an impact on file size. This one article decreased from 52 MB to 17 MB. And it was only one slideshow with 7 (retina) images inside.
Changing all the slideshows in our 50 article folio (about 35) decreased the file size from 576 MB to 243 MB!
Thanks,
nils

PDF File Size changes

I have just upgraded from CS3 to CS5. I set my documents up for print and when saving to pdf small file size the file size have increased dramatically. A typical previous size would have been about 600 to 700k now the files are comming out at about 1.7 mb. I am getting complaints about this from clients. I have tried the save as reduced file size pdf, but it really doesn't make that much difference. Can anyone help?

Try creating your own job options file in Distiller. You can change the job options setting to reduce the file size as you see fit. You may want to make sure you font subset or you can turn off font embedding entirely. You can make sure your graphics are as small as you feel appropriate.

File Size - Photoshop With LR or Bridge

When I open files from LR (Ctrl-E) in Photoshop, LR immediately creates a .tiff file approximately 5 times the size of the original DNG. Then it quadruples in size again when it is converted into a Smart Object.
Here is what I did:
From LR Ctrl-E (ProPhoto,.tiff,16-bit). In PS Convert to Smart Object. Save File and the size went from 9.73mb to 175.6mb.
From Bridge, double click on the same photo. In ACR choose Open Object. In PS Convert to Smart Object. Save File and the size went from 9.73mb to 95.1mb.
What is going on here? Is there some benefit to having files twice as big for what appears to be the same result in the image?

I checked, both are 16-bit.
It appears that an unflattened image processed from LR is much larger than when the same image is processed through Bridge. For example, a 9.5mb DNG becomes a 216.5mb image after Curves, Levels, and Unsharp Mask when processed as a Smart Object in PS. The same file processed with the same adjustments through Bridge is 139.4mb.
Once the image is flattened, there is little difference in file size whether processed in LR or PS.
For my work flow, it seems appropriate to commit to the adjustments, flatten, reduce the image size, and convert to 8-bit. The 216.5mb file then becomes a 5mb file. For the rare occasion that I want to reprocess a file, I just have to do it all over again starting from the DNG. This defeats the main benefit of being able to tweak the adjustments using Smart Objects, but my storage demands are greatly reduced.
For those really rare times when I have a large investment of time adjusting an image, it makes sense to process is through Bridge and save the large file. However, I can see no benefit to opening such an image from LR and ending up with a file twice the size.

File sizes growing by magic?!?!?!?!?!?!

I create DVD's for a wedding business. My file sizes are "growing" and i don't know why. This is the first time I've noticed it. I've designed and burned over 100 wedding DVD's using this method. I use a template in DVD studio pro and I drag and drop my assets onto the appropriate button.
The project material is 102 minutes. Some double layered video.
This particular project says that a
DVD best quality 150 min compression (using compressor template) is 3.92G. I put it in the DVD template and it jumps to 4.4G.
The audio size (AIFF 16bit-2200Mhtz) is 68M. I put it in the template and my 4.4G from above jumps to 5.7G. 68M to 1.3G??
I have no idea what is wrong. I've spent four days compressing in various ways using compressor. The description above is the fifth and last attempt.

What you should do is open the project, close the project, then reopen it. The calculator of size is not always accurate and can "jump" when assets change.
Also do not use AIFs, make AC3s and use them instead, saves room and improves performance (prevents issues)
Also note thhat is you are using items in motion menus, that also in creases size each time you extend the length of time (or add audio if there was none)
You should have no isssues with getting 102 minutes of video on a DVD-5 usually (unless very high motion and you need higher encoding rates)
Build to the hard drive to get a better sense of the real size if the above does not help )opening/cclosing/reopening should get you back on track though)

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your reply..Your links sent me to this ...
Page Not Found
We are sorry, the page you have requested was not found on our system. >Ahh. That is because I foolishly hand edited those links and did not check them. They included 'api' twice.
In any case they were simply the links to the javadocs for those two classes.
Search [google for bytearrayoutputstream|http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=bytearrayoutputstream&meta=] and you will end up in the same or similar place.
As to using them, you simply put an appropriate ByteArray stream in place of the other streams (e.g. File based) that you were using.
I'd have to search for an actual example, but you could do the same (probably faster).

Adding 'imageio' to 'bytearrayoutputstream' as a search led to this as top hit [Memory Efficiency of BufferedImage and ImageIO|http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5261937&tstart=0].

Why do file sizes change when I use "Process Multiple Images" to add watermarks?

Hi,
I'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
Regards,
/Mikael Lindgren

Or you can uncheck the convert files box to save them in their original format, or select one of the lossless formats PSD, BMP, TIF. What is most appropriate depends on what you intend to do with the watermarked versions.
Cheers,
Neale

Server 2012R2 paging file size?

What would the appropriate paging file size be for Windows Server Workgroup 2012 R2 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a AMD FX6350 6-core, 3.9ghz CPU?

That article is a little dated - meant for 64-bit 2003. Microsoft has made a lot of changes since then.
The first thing you should consider is to leave it alone. As I just stated, Microsoft has been tuning its algorithms for determining the proper size. In many cases, it works just fine at the default, as the operating system will monitor and adjust.
However, it does not always work, or rather it may create a larger page than is really needed. In a system with the appropriate amount of memory, you can get by with a minimal (2-4 GB) page file. The operating system does use the page file for
some of the things it does, so it does not pay to try to eliminate it entirely. But memory is so inexpensive today, that if you find that your system is not performing because it is executing a lot of hard page faults during times of system load, get
a little more memory and add it to your system.
If you expect to have the system crashing a lot, and you want to capture the full memory dump, then you will need a larger page file. However, I've been working with Windows server since its beginning, and only once have I seen someone capture the
full amount of memory on a 64-bit system. Even then, Microsoft had identified the problem with a smaller page file, but the customer insisted on getting all the memory in dump. So we configured the system to capture the full 64 GB of memory and
Microsoft showed the exact same place in the dump which was causing the problem (user code). The majority of the time, the cause of a crash can be determined from mini-dump that is captured in a smaller page file. If it becomes critical, and you
have to have a full dump, it is pretty simple to reconfigure to capture the larger dump by creating a larger page file.

Mov to avi but at a reasonable file size and res.

I want to convert a .mov file to .avi and have the avi at a file size of betwen 20-30MB - at the moment when I export from quicktime pro its' coming up with a file size of over 1GB - any suggestions much appreciated

AVI is a file format and not a compression format. To be able to accomplish your goal here, you need to do two things:
1) Select an AVI compatible audio and video compression format that allows you to limit the audio and video data rates. (I.e., some compression formats have fixed or automatic data rates while others can be limited by the user.)
2) Once you have selected appropriate compression formats, you must calculate the maximum audio + video data rate combination that meets your target file size requirements. Unfortunately, this combined "target" data rate depends on the duration of the file you are creating and, since you did not include this info here, it is not possible for anyone to calculate this for you.

File Size and Workflow

It appears that an unflattened image processed from LR is much larger than when the same image is processed through Bridge. For example, a 9.5mb DNG becomes a 216.5mb image after Curves, Levels, and Unsharp Mask when processed as a Smart Object in PS. The same file processed with the same adjustments through Bridge is 139.4mb.
Once the image is flattened, there is little difference in file size whether processed in LR or PS.
For my work flow, it seems appropriate to commit to the adjustments, flatten, reduce the image size, and convert to 8-bit. The 216.5mb file then becomes a 5mb file. For the rare occasion that I want to reprocess a file, I just have to do it all over again starting from the DNG. This defeats the main benefit of being able to tweak the adjustments using Smart Objects, but my storage demands are greatly reduced.
For those really rare times when I have a large investment of time adjusting an image, it makes sense to process is through Bridge and save the large file. However, I can see no benefit to opening such an image from LR.

HDs are getting bigger and cheaper. Time is getting less - and therefore more valuable.
Get a new disk and live a little. ;-)
