Compressing a large file into a small file.

So i have a pretty large file that i am trying to make very small with good quality. the file before exporting it is about 1gig. I need to make it 100mbs. Right now i've tried compressing it with the h.264 compressing type, and i am having to go as low as 300kbits. I use aac 48 for the audio. It is just way to pixelated to submit something like this. But i guess i could make the actual video a smaller size something like 720x480 and just letterboxing it to keep it widescreen? Any hints on a good way to make this 21 minute video around 100mbs?

There are three ways to decrease the file size of a video.
1. Reduce the image size. For example, the change of a 720x480 DV image to a 320x240 will decrease the size by a factor of 4
2. Reduce the frame rate. For example, changing from a 30 fps to 15 fps will decrease the size by a factor of 2
3. Increase the compression/ change code. This is the black magic part of online material. Only you can decide what's good enough.

  • How do I divide a large catalogue into two smaller one on the same computer?

    How can I divide a large catalogue into two smaller ones on the same computer?  Can I just create a new catalogue and move files and folders from the old one to the new one?  I am using PSE 12 in Windows 7.

    A quick update....
    I copied the folder in ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes that contains all of my local mailboxes over to the same location in the new account. When I go into mail, the entire file structure is there, however it does not let me view (or search) any of the messages. The messages can be accessed through the Finder, though.
    I tried to "Rebuild" the local mailboxes, but it didn't seem to do anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Difficulty compressing a large file - compact command fails

    I am trying to compress a 419 GB SQL Server database, following the instructions in the compression example described here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190257(v=sql.90).aspx
    I have set the filegroup to read-only, and taken the database offline.  I logged into the server that hosts the file, and ran this from a command prompt:
    ===================================================== 
    F:\Database>compact /c CE_SecurityLogsArchive_DataSecondary.ndf
    Compressing files in F:\Database\
    CE_SecurityLogsArchive_DataSecondary.ndf [ERR]
    CE_SecurityLogsArchive_DataSecondary.ndf: Insufficient system resources exist to
    complete the requested service.
    0 files within 1 directories were compressed.
    0 total bytes of data are stored in 0 bytes.
    The compression ratio is 1.0 to 1.
    F:\Database>
    ===============================================
    As you can see, it gave me an error: "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service."  The drive has 564 GB free, so I doubt that is the issue.  Here are some specs on the server:
    MS Windows Server 2003 R2, Enterprise x64 Edition, SP2
    Intel Xeon E7420 CPU @ 2.13 GHz; 8 logical processors (8 physical)
    7.99 GB RAM
    Any suggestions how to handle this?  I really need to get this large file compressed, and this method seems appealing if I can make it work, because you can supposedly continue to query from the database even though it has been compressed.  If
    I use a compression utility like 7Zip, I doubt that I'll be able to query from the compressed file.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, if you compress a file that is larger than 30 gigabytes, the compression may not succeed.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to "zip" or compress a large file so I can email it?

    I did not buy any zip software so I'm just wondering if there is something that comes with OSX snow leopard that allows me to compress a file.

    Hi,
    How big is this file that you like to sent by mail?
    There are very good 3rt party softwares that you can use for free to zip ore compress bigger files.
    I use Stuffit Expander, I think the most of us will used.
    You can download a copy on their website or go to VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How do I turn a large poster into a small PDF?

    I made an academic poster in Pages (about 4' x 3') but now i need to save it as a PDF to send out.  Both printing as a PDF and exporting as a PDF look horrible, so I am following previous advice and saving it as a PostScript and then opening in Preview.  But most of my document gets cropped and I just get a small corner of the original, even though I changed custom sizes in both Pages and Preview to the 4' x 3'. 
    I am thinking now it is because I cant find a setting for 'any printer' in the printer drop down, so it is set to a printer that only does A4, and that is contraining the size.
    Can any one tell me
    1) A better way to turn the pages doc into a nice PDF
    2) A way to reduce the Pages doc to A4 without cropping?
    3) A way to select 'any printer' in the printer dialogue?
    Any advice welcome, I really need to send this thing out!

    A pdf doesn't have to be any particular size. It can be printed to fit at destination.
    Have you tried simply scaling the output % to what you want?
    Menu > File > Print > Layout > Paper Handling > Scale to fit paper size > Destination Paper: A4 > PDF > Save as PDF…
    Peter
    btw 4' x 3' is the wrong proportion for A4

  • How to split a large PDF into many smaller PDFs

    In my wanderings, I couldn't find an answer to this question. Thus my post.
    I have a large, 20 page, pdf. I'd like to split that pdf into 10 two page pdfs. How can I do it?
    The 20 pager is a pdf of a number of account statements. The account statements varying in length from 1 to 3 pages. I'd like to split the pdf so I end up with one pdf per account.
    In advance, thank you for your help

    Hi.
    It's simple: open the PDF, go to File, Print, and in the print dialog select Copies & Pages, enter the range you want, click PDF/Save as PDF.
    Good Luck.

  • Compressing large file into several small files

    what can i use to compress a 5gb file in several smaller files, and that will easy rejoined at a later date?
    thanks

    Hi, Simon.
    Actually, what it sounds like you want to do is take a large file and break it up into several compressed files that can later be rejoined.
    Two ideas for you:
    1. Put a copy of the file in a folder of its own, then create a disk image of that folder. You can then create a segmented disk image using the segment verb of the hditutil command in Terminal. Disk Utility provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to some of the functions in hdiutil, but unfortunately not the segment verb, so you have to use hditutil in Terminal to segment a disk image.
    2. If you have StuffIt Deluxe, you can create a segmented archive. This takes one large StuffIt archive and breaks it into smaller segments of a size you define.2.1. You first make a StuffIt archive of the large file, then use StuffIt's Segment function to break this into segments.
    2.2. Copying all the segments back to your hard drive and Unstuffing the first segment (which is readily identifiable) will unpack all the segments and recreate the original, large file.I'm not sure if StufIt Standard Edition supports creating segmented archives, but I know StuffIt Deluxe does as I have that product.
    Good luck!

  • Source code organization: How to divide large JavaScript files into several smaller JavaScript files?

    Hello,
    some of my JavaScripts have become considerably large over time. What I would like to do is to split a single (large) JavaScript source file into several smaller source files plus an additional JavaScript file containing code or directives to recombine the split files.
    In other words, I would like to organize my JavaScript source code into re-usable modules.
    Although I searched the Acrobat JavaScript developer documentation and did a lot of Web searching, I still have no idea...
    whether the Acrobat JavaScript scripting environment itself does provide a code structuring mechanism
    how to properly organize large Acrobat JavaScripts in general.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!

    Document-level scripts are not accessible to other documents/scripts, so they're not a good option.
    Folder-level scripts, on the other hand, are accessible to all other documents/scripts. So if you have a general function that creates a 3D annotation, for example, you can place it in a folder-level script and then call it from other scripts (you will probably need to provide it a handle for the document and properties of the annotation).
    One thing to be aware of, though, is that the folder-level scripts are loaded alphabetically, so don't put a reference in script aaa.js to something that loads in zzz.js, or you will get an error message when you open Acrobat. (this is not a problem if zzz.js is not called during the launch of Acrobat)

  • Copy a small version into a larger file - problem with typing

    Hi,
    I have paste a copy of a Captivat file in a 10px (each side) larger file. Now I got the problem that typing animation is not on the correct place. Take a look:
    the original:
    the pasted version in the 10px larger file:
    Is this a known problem? Is there a way to fix this?

    Hi there,
    I would suggest that you use a screen capture utility such as Snagit to capture your Request Membership box and then insert this into your Captivate slide as an image. This will then enable you to accurately position the graphic and should address the typing problem.
    Best - Mark
