Does using GPRMs / scripts / stories take up much space?

Hi all
Does using GPRMs / scripts / stories take up much space??
I ask this because a dvd I must complete tonight appears [on the disc meter in DVDSP] to take up 6.0 GB when the combined assets equal 3.85 GB AND NONE have been doubled up.
I have stories that reuse the same main movie, a fair number of menus [without using DVDSP alpha transitions], scripts that point to loop points in menus, and a scripting combination that randomly plays 13 audio tracks with 300kB graphics for the video track.
Anyone??? Please!

I may have found where the size descrepency originates.
The size of this project is associated with 13 menus.
Each of these menus has a still as the video asset and an audio track [ranging from 2 mins 30 duration to 8 mins with most at 3 mins 30 secs].
Each menu has the same button structure, with three buttons.
Button 1 points to a script that randomly plays each audio track once before returning to a main menu.
Button 2 points to the main menu.
Button 3 points to a Story which plays 1 chapter of video from the master asset [2.3 GB] then returns to the same menu. The master video has not been duplicated at all to do this, the story just points to the asset and then jumps back...
THE CRUX OF THIS ISSUE IS that if I delete 1 or two of any combination of these two buttons, nothing really happens regarding a drop in file size in the Inspector or Disk Space Meter, BUT if I delete all three buttons, the file size drops from 448.3 MB to 12 MB, taking the Disk Meter from 5.5 GB to 5.0 GB!!!!
This is obviously where my problem lies.
ANYONE OUT THERE that can help it would be SOOOO GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!
[HAL, are you there??? I'm sure you would have a solution].
Thanks in advance.
HMM.. here's a thought.... The Story that points to and plays 1 chapter of my main video before returning to the same menu would possibly be the same file size if exported and encoded separately.... Perhaps I have missed something with the Story navigation.....Unlikely though as is pretty straight forward [with the help of the manual of course].
ALL HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! THANKS..

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?For example, I have 9,80GD on disk and after looked 2 video on youtube(2-3 min each) it's become 9,60GB. It's 200MB gone!

If you did not see the dialog box asking if you wanted to delete from the hard drive, I think this may be one of those options where you can say "Don't ask again," meaning until you trash your iTunes prefs, it will cease asking the question.

Why does the messaging app take so much space (5.6??) Also when I try to delete messages, it still shows 5.6. help me!

Hi,
I have barely any space left on my phone. ios7 messaging app takes so much space. How can I stop this?

Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full.

TM backup takes too much space

I restored the boot disk (Macintosh HD) from TM's last backup.
The first new backup takes too much space on your external drive!
Is it true?

I must have three times to recover the system partition.
I'm not sure that the drive for 1 year of operation is out of order. During the day the computer works fine, but every morning after wake up,
when disc is cold ,
and after 2 - 3 minutes go to freezing all apps. It seems that does not see the HDD.
After a forced shutdown and restart the system sometimes can boot normally and without error in the file system, but often does not load.
After several attempts to boot the system it is still loaded, but disk utility shows :

Why an empty directory take so much space?

Here is the problem:
[kokoko3k@Gozer ~]$ mkdir /tmp/testdir
[kokoko3k@Gozer ~]$ ls -la /tmp/|grep testdir
drwxr-xr-x 2 kokoko3k users 4096 7 feb 12.01 testdir
We have 4K, ok.
[kokoko3k@Gozer ~]$ cd /tmp/testdir/
[kokoko3k@Gozer testdir]$ while true ; do touch $RANDOM ; ls -1 |wc -l ; done

[kokoko3k@Gozer testdir]$ ls -la /tmp/|grep testdir
drwxr-xr-x 2 kokoko3k users 20480 7 feb 12.02 testdir
20K makes sense, it is full of files, but look here:
[kokoko3k@Gozer testdir]$ rm /tmp/testdir/*
[kokoko3k@Gozer testdir]$ ls -la /tmp/|grep testdir
drwxr-xr-x 2 kokoko3k users 20480 7 feb 12.03 testdir
...now the directory is empty and still take so much space, i dropped caches but nothing changes, the only way to free it is to rmdir and mkdir again.
filesystem is ext4 and mount options are: defaults,barrier=0
Is this... normal?

I can clearly "rmdir /tmp/testdir", that means that the directory is empty, or rmdir reports an error, but here it is the log with du, this is on another box:
koko@slimer ~ ls -la /tmp/testdir
ls: cannot access /tmp/testdir: No such file or directory
koko@slimer ~mkdir /tmp/testdir
koko@slimer /tmp/testdir $ sudo du -sh /tmp/testdir

koko@slimer ~cd /tmp/testdir

koko@slimer /tmp/testdir $ sudo du -sh /tmp/testdir

koko@slimer /tmp $ mkdir /tmp/testdir
koko@slimer /tmp/testdir $ sudo du -sh /tmp/testdir
4,0K /tmp/testdir
Still, dir size become bigger when a lot of files are put into it, but never gets smaller, even after deleting all of the files.
Is it a bug?
-EDIT-
Seems to be expected...

Firmware takes too much space any way to reduce it?

when i updated the firmware i noticed i had less Mb in the 515 player is there any updated firmware that takes less space?
why is there only 241Mb free if its a 256Mb storage thing? Tnx in advanced for ur answer

I have never used any of MSI's MP3 players, but do they show up in my computer? If they do right click on the drive and go to properties. Down at the bottom it will show the capacity. As an example my 128MB USB flash drive show 130,019,328 bytes, but that equals 123MB. What does yours show?
Also without any music on there how much space is used according to the property page?
Good Luck

Why does "Other" take so much space on iPad vs. iPod touch?

When I plug the iPad into my iMac, I ownder why the Other category is so much larger than that for my Touch. The iPad is 32 GB, while the Touch is 16 GB. The are similary loaded with my music, photos and apps, but that Other thing is way much larger.
Any thoughts?

Found the answer in another thread. Went from 7.2 GB to 1.12 GB after restore and backup.

Ipad 3th gen photo sync problem take too much space / wrong color

I am so happy after i got my 3th gen ipad i start sync 7k+ photo off my computer here problem i got and play phone tag with techsupport until now i still have this problems i wonder if anyone counter those and got tip to solve it.
1. photo size in computer and ipad not match.
my computer show 5 photo take 6mg
i try a lot photo show in computer 386mg show in itune capacity 14.5gb i check in ipad do some + n - it take around 6.6gb
i resize photo to so small it come out same problem
2. photo color show not correct.
most of my photo sync to my ipad show in green or purple color.
I find out that any photo not in sRGB and do not have iccc color problem will have this problem i can be fix by convert it to sRGB and add iccc profile but it should not be this way ..
the problem just with photo app that come with ipad, i test with adobe photo express it does the same problem color go all jack up.
as now big big problem is can't seem to get photo sync correctly without 1 problem or other .. with 32Gb hdd i can't even get all photo that show 15gb in pc
system
win 7 home 64bit with latest itune 64bit
ipad 3th gen 32gb with at&t 4glte

I'm running iOS 5.1 on my iPhone4 and my new iPad3. But I never saw this color effect on my iPhone3G or iPod2G as well. I did sync some slideshows as well, but that is done on a Mac, not a Windows PC.
What are the settings on your camera when you shoot the photos? Is the sRGB profile embedded by the camera? Any RAW formated pictures involved?

Printing takes too much space!

Hi,
I need to print a JTable's contents. This JTable has about 10 columns and about 500 rows. I print the column header in each page, and as many rows fits in a page until it is done. I separate each row with a line.
Now, this takes about 10 MB in the Windows spooler, which also make the printing slow too.
How can I do to reduce the quantity of memory it takes to print?
Thanks in advance,
Gabriel

In general, in JDK 1.2 printer engine not compare to speed even with JDK 1.1 - all fonts are conwerted into shapes (maybe this is not true for jdk1.3+ for some set of fonts - but by sources of JDK1.2 this is it) this aproach caused even moderate amount of text, produce huge amount of shapes. So, if performance is the key for you application - try to play with rasterisation options or take look at non standart printing engines and on JDK 1.4 it is still beta but printing systeme take serious step ahead.
If you dont statisfy java printing at all - try to extend com.sun.awt.windows.WPrinterJob - this is not violate any Sun's right but strongly not recomended.

My hard drive takes to much space

Hello,
I have a 250g SSD installed in my Mac, and of that is 134gb of other files, I don't know where the come from and what they are how can I find this out. I know that a part of this is my OS, but that is 40gb or so.

See -> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5142.
Good luck,

[SOLVED] How much space is REALLY used on my HDD?

Hi there,
Today I moved my /home/ dir to its own partition, so that my settings are safe from the system.
I have a question about the used space:
When I use "df -h" to see how much space is used, this is the output for home:
/dev/sda2 184G 465M 175G 1% /home
So 465 MB should be used. When I right click on home and select properties only 243,5 MB are used!?
I know about the MB/MiB problem... but that would not be that extreme...
Any ideas?

Where can I see how much space mac mail is taking on my hard drive?

I have a gmail, yahoo mail and icloud mail that I access on Mac Mail. Does it take up much space on the HD? I'm assuming they are all stored on the web servers but where do I look on the Mac to find what space they are taking up on my Mac?

In the Finder, hold the Option key and then choose Library from the Go menu. Then locate the folder called "Mail," and get information on it and note the calculated size. In addition, do the same for the Mail Downloads folder, and these two should constitue the majority of the space used by Mail and its configured accounts.

How much space for DVD-5?

Hey,
Does anyone know after formatting exactly how much space I have to work with on a DVD-5? I am trying to go his route because the cost per unit is cheaper.
Chris

Take a look at the what you should be encoding at using this calculator
http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
For 1:42 the rate (using 192 AC3 audio) should be about 5.7. Set up Compressor with those settings and send the footage from Final Cut to Compressor and bring the resulting m2v and AC3 files into DVD SP. If you are bringing a .mov in the audio is non-compressed and takes up more room and if the default encoding settings for the project are too high, 1:42 can go over a DVD 5 fairly easily. Do not recall what the default is right now, but it is going to be close.
You can try changing preferences for the project, but I do not find it as reliable.

Bookmark toolbar takes too muck space

Here is screenshot demonstraiting the problem:
[http://wstaw.org/m/2012/07/17/snapshot2.png Screenshot]
Main Toolbar is disabled
Bookmark toolbar contains a few folders and located at the top row along with the navigation buttons and page tabs.
The problem is bookmark panel takes too much space (it is too width) - lots of free space is unused.

It never occurred to me to put the bookmarks on the tab bar. They don't seem to auto-size correctly there. (On other bars, you can re-fit the bookmarks using: View > Toolbars > Customize ''or'' right-click blank area of tab bar or navigation toolbar > Customize, then just clicking Done.)
There are some methods for applying style rules to the Firefox UI that might help in this case. For example, you might be able to specify a maximum width for the bookmarks part of the bar. For example:
<br>#TabsToolbar #personal-bookmarks, #TabsToolbar #PlacesToolbar {max-width:350px !important;}
To apply such a rule, you can use the Stylish extension or the userChrome.css file (as described in other threads, but I'm short of time to search them up at the moment).

Too much space after form

There is too much space after the form:
http://zooop.net/birch_center/
I can control the space by adding a height tag in this tag:
<iframe src="
http://www.birchcenter.com/OpenNewsletter/includethis.php"
frameborder="0" width="170" scrolling=no style="border:0px;
font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#666666"></iframe>
But when users enlarge their text either through their OS or
their browser, the "Subscribe" buttons sinks behind the text after
it, and is not functionlal.
Does anyone know why there is so much space after the form
and how I could get rid of it?
Thanks very much,
Emilie

Many HTML tags have inherent margins, and <form> is one
of them. Use CSS to
control it -
form { margin:0; padding:0; }
