Compress or reduce file size

This is a pretty basic question but I have never had this issue before. I have an mpeg file (mpeg1 muxed codec) of 18mb which is too big to email. What's the best way of either decreasing the file size or compressing it?
Also, I seem to think that neither iMovie HD or iMovie 08 can deal with an old mpeg file. . the sound gets lost?
Thanks
Tom

This is normal. The QT structure is "playback only" compatible with multiplexed files (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, Flash, etc.). Use an MPEG-base, third party conversion application (with required QT components installed if needed) here to transcode the content and retain audio. (I.e., the free MPEG Streamclip application will handle MPEG-1 content.)

There are two basic approaches here. The first is to re-compress the file using a more efficient codec (like H.264/AAC) using a lower data rate than your original file. Depending on your original video data rate, you may have a lot of "headroom" for re-compression or only a small amount. In the later case, you may have to also reduce the dimension of your export to preserve maximum quality. What you finally do may likely depend on what you can "live with" in terms of quality and file size.
A second, approach would be to upload your original file to an online server and then send the URL for the file, a reference movie, or a QTL (QuickTime Media Link) file which will play the online movie back on the recipient's computer. An offshoot of this approach would be to post the file to your own web site page using an application like iWeb and allowing the recipient to view and/or download the file directly from your site or subscribe via RSS if you plan to provide content on a regular basis (e.g., as a Podcast or Video Blog).

Compress pdf/reduce file size

I have both Acrobat 9 pro extended & 10 X pro, when i use the 9 version to compress a pdf file(using optimized scan pdf), i find it very powerful & the file becomes extremely small, but when i use the same option in 10 X pro, the file becomes bigger actually. any clue? & what's the best way the compress pdf files in Acrobat 10 X pro?

Compression to reduce file size

Hi everyone,
I am trying to reduce a 14GB video file down to 4 GB so I can upload directly to a web site. My current project settings is DSLR 1920x1080 and I typically export to a .mp4 1920x1080 p 30. (which yields a 14 GB file) So my theory was to try downsizing to 720 p which would hopefully reduce the file size enough but still maintain an HD setting. So here is what I am curious to hear from the experts on this board. Is that a good strategy? What 720p setting should I choose in the Share section? (none of the options for 720 p shpws 30 fps so i am guesing I will have to change that to 60fps?)And finally, what degree of quality woud you expect I would lose downsizing from 1080p to 720p?
Thanks for your time and input!

OVI backup .nbu file size does not match actual da...

Hi,
I just backed up my phone through the Ovi Suite. The backup was VERY fast (compared to previous backups doen in earlier versions of Ovi Suite) probably due to the new fixed version of Ovi Suite.
Anyway... The backup file (.nbu) is almost 1.85 GB but when I browse my phone (in My Computer folder) and do 'Select All' the size of the data on my Phone Mass Memory reads 2.44 GB.......
SO.... is the backup data in the .nbu file somehow compressed?? Or maybe incomplete?
Thank you

Not sure but..My 1.7 GB (Phone) is equivalent to 0.6 GB (PC) .. but I have done restore without anything missing out..
The phones OS related files may not be getting Backed-up..

Email-to facilitate emailing a photo by gmail or AOL, I reduce the file size. Is it better to reduce the image size or increase the jpg compression?

To facilitate emailing a photo by gmail or AOL and avoid overwhelming the recipient's screen, I reduce the file size. Is it better to reduce the image size or increase the jpg compression? I have been making a duplicate image of 35 MB and reducing the image size to 8"x12" at 72 resolution giving a file size of 1.4 MB. Then I SAVE AS a jpg of medium compression giving a file size of about 111 KB. Overkill?

Go to File>save for web.
I usually make the long side 800 px
At the bottom of the dialog, check "constrain proportions."
At the top, select JPEG in the dropdown for the file format.
All the work is done for you! 72px/in is ok for web work. 240-300px/in is the recommended range for printing.

Zip/Compress a folder/file

Hi
recently i've try to Zip/Compress a folder...but funny...the folder is 15GB after compress...it still 15GB...haaa...
Any problem?need helps..

But why i need the compress or Zip...that's because i need to backup my projects and files into DVDR.If,i do a compression on Video such as H.264 Quality to Low and Frame Rate 15...it'll be small the file...but it can't be use for Hi Quality project anymore...do you get what i wish?haaa...
The problem is H.264 goes way beyond Zip in compression. Since you already applied H.264, there isn't anything else that Zip can do.
If you want to preserve the quality, the only solution is to have big enough disks.
I don't know whether my concept is on the track or not?!haaa...But i think it work..cause,sometimes we need to send file throught internet and we need to Zip it for email or transfering purpose..am i right?
Probably not. When you send a document like a Word file, the text is not already compressed. There are still many patterns that can be condensed and spaces that can be closed up. When you zip that document, it can take advantage of all those opportunities for compression, and the file size goes down.
But again, your H.264 files are already much smaller than uncompressed video. It's already crammed together as far as it will go unless you want to lose more quality. Therefore Zip cannot do anything more, and the file size stays the same.

Delete Pages, file size, PDF Optimizer Clean Up

Using Acrobat 9 Pro (for Windows, if that makes any difference).
I have a 148 page PDF of a magazine, about 58 MB in size.
I Deleted 40 pages of ads, leaving just the useful content.
The file size is still about 58 MB.
When I run Advanced -> PDF Optimizer,
the file size goes down to about 47 MB.
The Optimizer settings don't seem to matter.
Even with just "Clean Up" checked, all its options UNchecked,
and Compression set to "Leave Compression Unchanged"
the file size is still reduced.
I have tried several other PDF editors and tools,
and none of them reduce the file size after deleting the 40 pages,
even using their "optimize" or "compress" functions.
Can someone explain why deleting pages does not reduce the file size,
and what the Optimizer is doing (that the other tools don't do)
to reduce the file size ?
Thanks,

in Adobe 9 Pro Windows, I found the best was:

Adobe Acrobat X Pro ZIP Compression Creates Larger Files

Hello,
I made a flyer in InDesign CS 6 which contains a fairly complicated vector image made with Illustrator. When I export to PDF, InDesign creates a file of the size of 26 MB (ish). I then run preflight in Acrobat which finds that the vector image isn't compressed.
Note that my PDF settings in InDesign are set to bicubic subsampling for colour images that are above 450 px and JPG compression.
When I tell Acrobat to apply fixes, it tries to apply ZIP compression but the file size is then 38 MB. Could anyone shed light on this for me please? There is obviously something basic about vector images and compression that I am missing.
It also finds elements that are completely off the board, although I didn't put anything there with InDesign.

Test Screen Name: After seeing your response I run a little test. I made a PDF straight from Illustrator just using that image then preflighted it and I got the same error.
I then opened that same PDF in Illustrator, a lot of that artwork was turned into images. I think it's the transparency flattener as I am converting to PDF/X-1A with compatibility for Acrobat 4 (which I should have probably mentioned in the first post but I didn't make the connection between the two). As far as I understand the transparency flattener converts an image into a mix of paths and rasters (according to Adobe's own help files.)
Preset used for preflight is sheetfed offset CMYK btw.

Image size vs file size

Hello,
I would very much appreciate an answer to the follwing: When I save a file to jpeg the image size in photoshop remains the same as it was as a tiff file BUT according to the information that comes up in windows properties the file is much smaller (300k vs 2.9mg). Can you advise me which is the correct file size? If the correct size is the one showing in windows (300K) does mean that the file compressed in JPG and lost a lot of information? and if this is the case how can I prevent that from happening and still save the file as a JPG? [ I would like the image to remain the size photoshop shows it to be] . Thank you very much.

The file size of the JPG on disk is 300kb this is because it is heavily compressed.
The file size shown in Photoshop is uncompressed and appears at the larger size.
Yes, compressing loses information but it may not lose much quality the first time it is compressed.
To minimise data loss use a compressed TIFF format.
Or stop worrying about file size – storage space is cheap!
The only time JPEGs should be used is for display on the web.
In fact for general use in Adobe applications, the PSD format is fine. (As long as it lasts! )

Bloated File size in Illustrator

I created an image in Photoshop and saved it as a jpg with medium compression. The file size is 360K. When I palce it into Illustrator the Illustrator file balloons to 3mg! Can anyone suggest a reason and a solution to this problem? Thanks much!

Reason: Illustrator works with the uncompressed image size. Understand that JPEG file data is just "gibberish" until decoded to a decompressed state for use in any application capable of dealing with raster images. Go back to Photoshop and open your .jpg image. Save it as an uncompressed TIFF and see what happens.
Solution: Make sure your image is no larger (in pixel dimensions) than needed for the intended output purpose.
Suggestion: Don't save JPEGs out of Photoshop for placing in Illustrator. Why subject your image to lossy compression when all you will be doing, most likely, is saving with more lossy compression further down the workflow? Save as .psd instead. (I'll assume you're working with relatively recent versions of AI and PS.) That way you at least maintain the ability to have AI respect transparent regions of your PS image.
Please always state your Illustrator version and OS.

File size in backup

When backing up to TC are the files just being copied in there original format or are they being made smaller? In other words is a 100 mb Quicktime movie file the same thing when its backed up on tc

No. Time Machine does not do compression. Compare the size of your data on your primary drive. Now compare that with the size of the backup file. It's about the SAME size if you have just started backups. But it is LARGER if you have been backing up for some time. This would not be the case if data was being compressed. See the Apple web site quote below:
*Anatomy of a Backup*
"For the initial backup, Time Machine copies the entire contents of the computer to your backup drive. It copies every file exactly (without compression), skipping caches and other files that aren’t required to restore your Mac to its original state. Following the initial backup, Time Machine makes only incremental backups — copying just the files that have changed since the previous backup. Time Machine creates links to any unchanged files, so when you travel back in time you see the entire contents of your Mac on a given day." [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html]
Hopes this clarifies things.

Automatic bookmark backup: file size decreased

FF version always most recent.
For several months, file size of automatic backup .json files used to be about 1.930 kb on all machines that are connected to 1 sync account. I never deleted more than a dozen of short term bookmarks. Since last monday, file size of all of them decreased to about 700 kb.
Does that indicate loss or damage?
If so, how to check and repair?

Note that compressed JSON backup have a .jsonlz4 file extension to distinguish them from uncompressed backups that have the .json file extension.
You can still create a normal uncompressed JSON backup manually in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) as the compressions is only used for automated backups.

Database backup file size is too small compare to actual database size

Hi All,
I know that backup file size can be smaller than actual DB size (i.e., MDF size + LDF size). But in my case i am observing huge difference.
My Database size is 16 GB out of which 10 GB consumed by MDF and 6 GB consumed by LDF. But when i took the backup, the backup file size is only 1 GB!!!!!
I am skeptical about whether i am doing anything wrong. Please advice me.

Olaf is right it must be compressed backup:
To check if the backup file is compressed or not
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = 'Path to backup file';
Looks for column labelled "Compressed". 1 = compressed, 0 = not compressed.
If you are skeptical about backup file you can verfiy whether a SQL database backup can be read and restored:
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = 'Path to backup file'
If the backup is valid, the SQL Server Database Engine returns:
The backup set on file 1 is valid

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.
