Compressor mpg 2 files sizes very large

I have just begun using FCP 7 and its version of Compressor for years.
I have produced two school videos on FCP X, (the latest updated version) and have to output to a file type to be taken to make a dvd from it.
Please correct me if there is any reason why this shouldn't be a MPEG 2Transport Stream from Compressor 4.1.2.
When I put out either file, both about 1.5 hours long they are about 8 GBs which surprised me. Why wouldn't they be closer to 4 GB since not everyone presses DL DVDs?
I feel the old compressor had more controls over how to handle the files to compress the size more. I oftenwent out to DVDSP and authored in there and it was rather idiot proof knowing that you could set that its a DVD and it HAD to fit.
How can I get this file smaller without killing its quality?
Thanks in advanced.

There were more DVD presets in the older version…"Best quality 90 minutes", and s forth. But regardless of the preset, we could always adjust the bit rate in the encoder to your liking.
Now it's all in an integrated window and there is only a single preset to start the adjustments from. But even though it looks a little different, the flexibility of the tools is pretty similar.
Good luck with your project.

Slow Performance or XDP File size very large

There have been a few reports of people having slow performance in their forms (tyically for Dynamic forms) or file sizes of XDP files being very large.
These are the symptoms of a problem with cut and paste in Designer where a Process Instruction (PI) used to control how Designer displays a specific palette is repeated many many times. If you look in your XDP source and see this line repeated more than once then you have the issue:
The problem has been resolved by applying a style sheet to the XDP and removing the instruction (until now). A patch has been released that will fix the cut and paste issue as well as repair your templates when you open them in a designer with the patch applied.
Here is a blog entry that describes the patch as well as where to get it.

My XDP file grow up to 145mb before i decided to see what was actually happening.
It appears that the LvieCycle Designer ES program sometimes writes alot of redundant data... the same line millions of times over & over again.
I wrote this small java program which reduced the size up to 111KB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wow what a bug that must have been!!!)
Here's the sourcecode:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
public class MakeSmaller {
private static final String DELETE_STRING = "                           <?templateDesigner StyleID aped3?>";
public static void main(String... args) {
BufferedReader br = null;
BufferedWriter bw = null;
try {
   br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
   bw = new BufferedWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(args[0] + ".small")));
   String line = null;
   boolean firstOccurence = true;
   while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    if (line.equals(DELETE_STRING)) {
     if (firstOccurence) {
      bw.write(line + "\n");
      firstOccurence = false;
    } else {
     bw.write(line + "\n");
     firstOccurence = true;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
   if (br != null) {
    try {
     br.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   if (bw != null) {
    try {
     bw.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
File that gets generated is the same as the xdp file (same location) but gets the extension .small. Just in case something goes wrong the original file is NOT modified as you can see in the source code. And yes Designer REALLY wrote that line like a gazillion times in the .xdp file (shame on the programmers!!)
You can also see that i also write the first occurrence to the small file just in case its needed...

Numbers file sizes very large

I've noticed that file sizes in Numbers are very large. I was using Excel for a long time and all the files I created were between 20-30KB. The files consisted of an Excel workbook, with 1-2 worksheets in it. The same files in Numbers are 200-300KB and if I save them over the network from another computer to my computer, they jump up to over 1MB. Any ideas on this?

Hello
Nothing to do with graphics items.
An XL file as well as an AppleWorks one is a compiled document in which many components are stored in a very compact shape. One byte was sufficient in AW to represent an operand as they where aboutone hundred.
In Numbers, everything is described in pure text with complementary delimiters.
When a formula uses the operand "COUNTBLANK" this one appears with its 10 letters.
In XL as well as in AW6, a date is stored as a floating number while in Numbers it's stored as the string "mercredi 23 janvier 2008 22:33:19"
Sama thing for every attributes of every cell.
So this results in a huge file store in XML format. To spare space, when we close a document, the XML file is packed in .gz format.
This is the Index.xml.gz file that we may see clicking a Numbers document wit ctrl depressed and selecting the contextual menu item "Show Package's contents".
Double click onto Index.xml.gz will unpack it.
giving the expanded Index.xml file.
I assumes that they are applications dedicated to XML files.
I don't know them so I just drag and drop the XML file onto a free text editor named Bean which I find really interesting.
Doing that, we may examine the file's contents.
If someone knows a correct free application able to open and display correctly the XML files, I'm interested

What can I do for "File size too large"?

Spent 9 hrs creating a slideshow that I saved. Closed PSE 11 and reopened and can no longer find the slideshow. When I select Find, Media type, Project, nothing appears, but there is a gray box in my grid that says "File size too large". Is this my slideshow and if so how can I recover it? I am sick as this was a large time investment for my daughter's wedding which is very soon! Please help if you can.

I don't know anything about slide shows but if a picture is too large this is just a warning message, if I click a pic with this message it does show up. Have you tried clicking the thumbnail?

Buffered TDMS file still very large

Hello, I am trying to to stream to a TDMS file. I am writing approximately 10 channels of data at 20 Hz. I was creating a new file evey 5 mins or so and defragging the file once I was finished with it, which was giving me a reasonable size of file. I decided that I would like to make bigger files (over the period of hours) and the the defragging would be too computationally costly to do on the fly. I have been trying to set a buffer for the TDMS files but the resultant files are very large. You can tell the file isn't being writen until its closed (from watching its size in windows explorer) which suggests the file is being buffered. However its about 6 times bigger than an ASCII file of the same data, with and index almost as big again.
Does anyone have any ideas why it would appear to buffer but not actually reduce the data size. I'm running Windows XP, LabVIEW 10.0.
When I create each new file I run this to set the buffers. (I have also hard wired in a buffersize of 100000 on a one minute file to no avail.
Niall
Thanks
Niall

I has this marked as the solution but it turns out it only helped one of my programs. I am still getting very large (fragmented) TDMS and index files for another program. The problem is that if I just defrag the (supposedly buffered) file, it interupts the data logging because it takes so long. I'm 99% sure that it *is* buffereing as it doesn't write till it closes the file, and if I use the read properties function it reads back a set buffer size. Here is the VI that actually writes the data. There bit at the top is for writing an optional acii file so you can ignore that.
Its maybe a bit hard to see whats going on in the next one, but this is where the file is created before being passed to the setbuffer VI which I posted earlier. It also closes that last file
Its really hacking me off now and holding me up from going no to other stuff. It would be great if someone had some ideas.
Thanks

Log and transfer, my transfered files become very large...

When I use Log and transfer, my files become very large. For instance, The card that I'm transferring from only holds 32G and after I transfer the footage to an external drive it has become around 70G. I checked the codec on transfered files and its showing apple pro res 422 1920 x 1080. Is there an import setting I'm missing? This is all new to me...

This is normal.
Your camera likely shoots AVCHD, a highly compressed version of MPEG 4.
It is so compressed because it uses a "Long GOP" format where only every 15th frame is independent (i frame).
Those in between only contain the differences to the prior i frame and cannot exist without it.
(It's actually somewhat more complicated, but now you know what it is called, you can do more research)
You need the ability to edit on any frame, however. The footage is transcoded to make every frame independent so you can do just that. It takes more space.

MP3 file size too large ?

Hi all,
I purchased the C3 to replace my older 6300 a couple of days ago.
It seems that my C3 problem discussed in another topic is almost similar.
I placed a 1Gb memory card and works just fine. I can approach and play all MP3 files on it.
But the option to use an MP3 as a ringtone is greyed out.
Tried to get it to work through personalizing profiles gives me the error message : file size too large ! Everty time and no matter which MP3 I choose. The file size is 4.3 Mb.
I tried editing the file, downsizing it to 770 Kb, but same error message occurs : too large.
Any other suggestions before I decide to bring this phone back ?
Solved!

Xp_smtp_sendmail file size is larger than allowed max sizer of 65536 bytes

Hi,
We have a daily routine which generates a text file and runs xp_smtp_sendmail with the @messagefile argument to use the text file in the body of the email.
It has always worked fine but recently we have been receiving the following error when trying to run it:
Error: @messagefile "Drive\Filename.txt" file size is larger then allowed max size of 65536 byte
Funnily enough the file in question is 66,220 bytes so only just big enough to exceed this limit. The file in question is created from scratch on a daily basis so maybe this limit has always been in place
and we are now exceeding it. My question is can we increase this limit somewhere and if so where? The SQL Statement I'm running is:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@To = '[email protected]',
@From = '[email protected]',
@messagefile = 'Filepath\Filename.txt',
@subject='Test please ignore',
@server='smtp.servername.domain'
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has!

Size of Exported Excel file is very large

Hi,
I have a report that has around 10000 rows and 5 columns. When I export to excel, the excel file is very big, around 15MB.
But If the file is opened, and saved again , the size reduces to around 13MB.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the file size of the exported Excel file. I would prefer to export it to excel rather than CSV format.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks....
ViVa1

Hi, actually as you have probably noticed the size grows a lot due to the use of different styles and formatting.
If you do not require any formatting then I would recommend you to consider a CSV file format again because it will result in the smallest file size which you can achieve with exporting.
Also for the future referencing SQL Server 2008 R2 exports reports only in XLS format, but SQL Server 2012 by default will export into a new XLSX file format which is a compressed (zipped XML based format) so the resulting files will be significantly smaller.
For example I created a small project to test exporting of 10000 x 5 data to an Excel file. I used this
.NET Excel component to create various spreadsheet files, it has a straightforward API for
exporting DataTable into an Excel file in .NET so you can test this out yourself with ease. The output files, without any formatting applied to them, have the following sizes: XLS (~1MB), XLSX (~300KB) and CSV (~250KB).

PDF file size too large

Hi,
I have a report (6i and 9Ids) which contains an image (stored as a blob in the database (8i)). The size of the image in the database (and as a file) is just 750k. The image is sized to fit on to the A4 report page. If I set the desformat of this report to PDF the resulting PDF output file is 10mb in size. I need to make this report available over the web so this is too large. Has anyone got any ideas as to reducing the output file size?
I have tried the pdfcomp report parameter with no joy.
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,
The image you are using might be a JPEG image. In 6i and 9i, while generating the PDF file, Oracle Reports always converts the image to GIF and embed it. This image type conversion increases the file size of the outputimage and hence PDF file size increases. This is fixed in Oracle Reports 10g.
In Oracle Reports 10g, you can select the outputimageformat based on your need, using either:
1. commandline: OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
(or)
2. environment variable: REPORTS_OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
If your image in the database is a JPEG image, set the outputimageformat to JPEG. Hence, there will not be any image type conversion and the PDF file will be very small.
Please refer to the Publishing Reports manual to know more about the usage of these commandline/environment variable.

.War file size too large on Sun One WebServer 6.1

We are using Sun One Web Server 6.1. I am trying to deploy a .war file thru the admin interface, and it fails due to the .war file being too large (over 10 megs). I am new to this server and have been looking around to see if there is a config setting somewhere I can modify, but I can't find anything.
Can anyone tell me if I can change the max size, and if so where?
Thanks very much.

Try this:
Go to $SERVER_ROOT/bin/https/webapps/admin-app/WEB-INF/web.xml file and make a backup copy. Edit this file and in the servlet webappdeploy, insert an init param named maxUploadSize with a value in bytes specifying the maximum upload size. Example:
<init-param>
<param-name>maxUploadSize</param-name>
<param-value>20000000</param-value>
</init-param>
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks

Graph data causes VI file to very large

My VI reads data files with up to 500,000 data points and displays them in various formats in graphs. If I "make current values default" with all these graphs populated the file size when I save the VI is very large (72 MB). Is there any way to not save the all the graph data with the VI and just the parameters so that the VI starts the same way the next time I open it to process a new set of data? I don't need all the graphs to be populated when I start again.

72MB!
Be aware that you don't have to make eveything default. You can programmatically set only the necessary items to Default with a property node when the program starts and/or ends. My point being, you shouldn't have to "make current values default" then save.

.flv file size too large

I recently purchased the Premiere Pro CS3 upgrade in order to produce flash video for our website because I was told Flash is the way to go for video delivery. We have used Real Media for a while to provide our audience with both the option to stream the video or to download it, but for several reasons I wanted to move away from that format.
However, I have to say I am disappointed in the results I've gotten with my first .flv encoded movies. The file sizes I'm getting for decent quality video are around approx 140 MB compared with approx 75 MB for the same clip when exporting to Real Media (.rm file). That's nearly twice the file size and the quality is even a little worse than the smaller Real Media file.
I am running Win XP and exporting finished high quality 80 minute .avi clips (yes, very long, but shortening the clips is not an option)to Adobe Media Encoder>Adobe Flash Video (I'm using the "NTSC Source to 256kpbs" preset, using the "On2 VP6" codec, with a bitrate of 200). Our priority is High Quality video but at the same time it would be nice to have a reasonable file size too. I simply don't understand why the file size is so large compared with Real Media when the quality is roughly the same. Am I doing something obviously wrong. Please help.

It's worth playing with keyframes, possibly increasing the number between them by a substantial amount. I'm also a little surprised that a 256k preset would have a video bit rate of 200. That strikes me as a little high by the time you add in audio and try and cram it down a congested 256k line.
Do you have the settings you're using to export the Real files? Real 10 is a great codec as far as quality/bit rate. It's just a pity it lacks in other ways.

Using compressor Small file sizes?????

Can anyone help me with this. I get a lot of request from clients to have the video I edit for them compressed to very small files sizes so they can be emailed. At the same time the client complains about the quality of the video. I'm looking for some suggestions on how I can maximize quality but at the same time keep the file size low. Should I encode at MPEG-1 or MPEG-4 to do this? What about the other codecs, H.264 for example. Should I be making adjustments inside compressor to get low file size and better quality? What settings are those? Please help.

Are you asking how to find the smallest files and sync those? Or are you asking how to make the big files smaller without making duplicates. If the former, you can sort your library by file size or make a smart playlist that looks for files below a certain size. If the later, you really can't. You'd have to downsample the tracks which would create a smaller copy.
