Audible Book file size?

I have not purchased any audible books from ITMS yet. Is there some way to determine the file size that will be downloaded prior to purchase? There may be an obvious way but I haven't been able to find it and I want to get an idea of how much space on my hard drive and ipod I will need.
Thanks for any help,
John

The size of the files will vary depending on the length of the book.
Here are some example sizes:
Book 1: split into 4 separate files of 2 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 29 to 36 MB.
Book 2: split into 3 files of 2.25 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 31 to 35 MB.

Photo Book file size

Hi!
What's a normal file size figure for a standard doublesided photo book in large format? I just compiled and sent away a book, and the file that was uploaded was around 13Mb. I thought that was kind of small and became worried that perhaps I had a less then optimal resolution preference set somewhere (I've done the DPI hack thing), but perhaps they usually turn out in this size. Any expericened Photo Book maker who can confirm?
Thanks a lot!
Erik

That may be about right. I just created a large, double-sided, 60 photo, 29 page pdf book thru the ordering process (canceled at the last window) that came in at 18MB. The pdf's that were generated with iPhoto 5 were much bigger .

Book File Size too big?

I bought a new Sony camera and I went out to do some tests. I ended up shooting some great images (about 500) of a series that was screaming "BOOK". So I decided to make my third book using LR4 (the other two were quite good, despite Lightroom's many limitations.)
I imported the RAW files and started playing around with the layout and design. Before i knew it, I had 189 pages with some 300 photos altogether. I thought since Lightroom 'allowed' me to do it, then it must be OK, and some threads on the Blurb Forums and FAQs claim that there is no maximum file size.
After I was done after about 30 hours of work, I hit the button SEND TO BLURB and something happened where the whole book disappeared. Gone. I didn't know where or how to repair it. I didn't even know where Lightroom stores its data. I finally resorted to my Time Machine Back up which took place about an hour earlier, and was able to rescue most of the book except for the last hour. Anyway, after I was done re-doing all the lost work (I backed up the catalog) and then hit SEND TO BLURB again.
LR started rendering, but hung at about page 125. I restarted about 6 times and LR would hang at different pages of the book. I tried again this morning, and it finally rendered and started uploading, but I've gotten an Error message four times already after about 2 hours of "uploading" each time. This has been going on since 11 am this morning (about ten hours ago) and I am very frustrated. I've chatted with Blurb Support and talked with Adobe support and there was no solution.
I imagine I have to convert all the files and redo the book all over again. HOWEVER, I would like to know if there is a better workflow to do this the least painfully possible.
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN CONVERT THE FILES TO EITHER TIFF OR JPEG FROM WITHIN LR? IF NOT, CAN I DO IT FROM PHOTOSHOP AND GIVE THEM THE SAME EXTENSION AS THE ORIGINAL RAW FILES to fool LR to think they're the same file? I guess I can try it, but with all the crashing and losing the book the first time, I just want to see if anyone has any clever ideas..
thanks..

Have you opened the PDF file with Photoshop? If you do, you can then use photoshop to determine page size and dpi...every PDF file I opened was 300dpi which is what you want for Blurb. The page size is what it is, but I guess you could change that page by page in Photoshop (I don't know if you can even open a PDF in LR).
Alternatively, since you have it in PDF format, there are other printers who will accept it - size issues may limit that, but you could probably work it out. For instance if you wanted it for some fairly casual use, the MagCloud site would print it on slightly larger paper than the blurb std portrait for about 1/2 of the price (but with fewer options ...no hard cover etc).
Hope this helps

Issues with Images when used w/ Caption Widget & Book File Size Q

Hi Everyone,
I was having issues with images not showing up and determined it was the caption widget causing the issue. I now have one of two issues happening consistently. Either the image does not show at all or just the caption box with bkgd gray and caption text shows, but without the image.
Anyone else have this issue?
Ay ideas would be greatly appreciated. I wasw just about finished with this project when this started!
Also, the size of the book is considerably larger than I realized.It is 81 mb. . . How does this compare to any of your books?
THANKS SO MUCH!
Belinda

Belinda,
I can't speak to your main issue, as I cannot recreate the problem over here.
As a guess, have you checked to make sure you're not running out of harddrive space? iBA can consume space quickly, and behaves oddly when it begins to run out of room.
But as far as filesize goes, I can only wish for an 81 MB book. Mine is currently a little over 2 GB and growing. Tonight I had to split it into 2 volumes just so iBooks Author can run at a reasonable pace. I was getting tired of waiting 1-2 minutes after dragging a video around on the page before I could get control of the program again.
You should note that Apple is expecting large filesizes for this new Multi-Touch format. The docs on iTunesConnect say the largest allowed upload size for a book is 16GB 2BG (see link below)

How do I convert a file size to decimal so I can assign an isbn to my book? my size is 802 kb and have no idea what this means.

I am an independent author that has purchased the batch of 10 isbn's from bowker. When I put in all the information to assign the isbn to my book, it tells me the file size must be converted to decimal. I have searched the internet and understand that one meg would be 10^6 but what is it if it is over or under one meg? my file size is 802 kb. so would that be .802 x 10^6? I have tried this and it still will not accept it. Can someone please help me with this as I have spent 250 dollars and bowker has zero customer support and refuses to answer this question.

This is an error reported by the optical drive's firmware. The tracking servo is the servomechanism which guides the laser pickup along the track on the optical disc. The error means that the servo couldn't do its job within the programmed parameters. What it doesn't say is why.
You have to be very precise as to when this error occurs. If it occurs as you wrote, while it "starts preparing to write the disc", and not when it has actually began to burn, then it's likely that the drive has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
There are other possibilities, so you should check them, but they would be more likely if the error occurred after the drive began to write. OrangeMarlin has suggested two options -- try a different brand of CD or DVD, and try cleaning the lens.

Exporting a book to pdf - any way to reduce the file size?

Hi,
So I have made a book using iPhoto and would like to send a pdf copy of it to another person who will fill in the texts. I am able to save the book as pdf via the print menu but the resulting file is over 300 mb in size (the book has only 20 pages)! On the one hand i like the fact that iPhoto is not downsampling my photos but it's a bit difficult trying to send a 300+ mb file over email Is there any way to create a pdf with the images compressed so i could send it as an attachment?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

IPhoto Book Colour Profiles & File Sizes?

I want to make a book in iPhoto. All my images are Adobe RGB. Do I need to change the colour profile.
I have a Mac with and Apple flat screen that has been colour balanced. So all the images look good. I am just concerned that they will be printed in a different profile and look rubbish.
What is the smallest file size and resolution that will look good.
Any other helpful advice.

Here's what Apple responded with when I asked them about book material and print quality:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with *RGB color space are recommended for best results.*
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."
As for file size, keep the pixel dimension of the photo the largest you can. That will convert to the highest resolution possible when converted to the pdf for uploading and printing. iPhoto will assign a warning flag to those photos that end up with a dpi of less than 180 when added to a particular frame in the book. When added to a smaller frame the warning flag may go away. I've printed books with that warning and was happy with the results.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

AdobeSend vs AdobeSendNow - file size, address book and link availability control?

Another user commented and would like answers to these questions, please.
What is the biggest file size for AdobeSend - can't seem to find any information on this. AdobeSendNow had a limit of 2 GB.
With AdobeSendNow, we used to be able to control how long the link is valid for to recipients - what about AdobeSend?
Will an address book be available for the AdobeSend like it did for Adobe SendNow?
Thanks.

I want my desktop version back!!     Just not a fan yet of this much more time consuming and clunky product.
What were you guys thinking?   Why did this new product NOT provide the same "outlook" or other connection to our address books?
Now I must have my address book open, copy addresses in to the tiny little window provided on the web page,
and type in every recipient's name.   I can no longer draft my message & select a group of individuals to receive reports from my e-mail
account in outlook; then select to use the ADOBE SEND FUNCTION.
On the web, it is so inefficient and risky to try to manuever in the tiny little screens that are provided..
There is not enough room in the "box" verfity the address is "actually" entered in correctly.
And, trying to send to a "group" is even more taxing.   Having to manually enter the addresses makes no sense and
just begs for an wayward e-mail.
The desktop version was soooo much more efficient and seamless to operate.
Maybe you should let us decide which one to use until you get this new product functioning at its highest level.
It is definitely as step down.   You should not assume everyone want to be or is working in the "cloud"....
I am eager to hear if this issue is being addressed so I will know whether to renew or not?
Thanks.

I Photo Book Design and File Sizes??

I Photo ? for any photo buffs out there-- I cant find what the largest file size i can import for an iphoto book-
Also--i am making my own photo page using another program and then I guess i will then import them to iPhoto so i can import them to a book-
also-- when it says ful page bleed-- it appears that iphoto still puts a grey border around--thus making your photo page smaller-- any work arounds this??
I want all my pages to have photo end to end-- complete bleed to the page edges -Thanks for any --All Help!! T Hopkins
I have Lion operating system-- do not see it as a choice to select here either?

From what I've observed in my books full bleed was just that. Have you checked out a sample book at your nearest Apple store?
The page dimensions are 8.5 x 11 for the standard, hard cover book. Photos should have the sRGB color profile (NOT the Adobe RGB profile). Since iPhoto creates a pdf of the book at 300 dpi for uploading and printing photos don't need to have a dpi resolution any higher than that.
An easy way to get the page from a 3rd party app into iPhoto would be to do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. This will create a jpg file of the page and import it into iPhoto. If you don't have the Save PDF to iPhoto option in the PDF menu you can download the file, a 300 dpi version, Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow from Toad's Cellar and place it in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.

Audible books from iTMS

If you purchase an Audible.com book from the iTMS is it save in Audible's .aa format or Apple protected format?
If it's in .aa format you should be able to use it on any device. If not then you could only use it on Apple's devices.

The size of the files will vary depending on the length of the book.
Here are some example sizes:
Book 1: split into 4 separate files of 2 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 29 to 36 MB.
Book 2: split into 3 files of 2.25 to 2.5 hours each. The file sizes vary from 31 to 35 MB.
