Exporting File is still huge

I am doing a podcast at http://joseph.libsyn.com. I had some complaints about the large file size, so in the latest episode "Neediness Management" I selected "Spoken Podcast/64Kb" under sound quality in the Advanced settings of GarageBand 3.0, down from my previous setting of 192Kb. The "estimated file size" went from 35Gb down to 12Gb.
After finishing I double-checked my Advanced settings in GarageBand and they still say "Spoken Podcast/64Kb - estimated file size 12.1Mb". So I export to iTunes and the m4a file is coming out at over 35Mb still. I "convert to MP3" within iTunes and still the file size is over 35Mb.
What gives?

Now why in the world would the file be 35.1Mb as an
mp3, when as an m4a it's 12.2Mb???
Because the size of the MP3 file has nothing to do
with the size of the m4a file.
You're making one basic mistake by thinking that
combining two compression methods will shrink your
file more than just using one. That's not the case,
you're only deteriorating your sound quality even
more.
To convert your exported m4a file to mp3, iTunes has
to "unpack" it to a full-blown audio file and then
apply the other compression algorithm. The final size
then depends only on the mp3 settings that you
set in iTunes.
If your destination format is mp3, you shouldn't
bother with m4a at all, but export from iTunes
as a lossless AIFF file (by deleting the Podcast
track, which doesn't serve you any purpose anyway).
This file will be quite big (> 300 MB, you still
haven't told us how long your podcast is),
I did tell you in the post above: It's 25 minutes 40 seconds. It has my voice on top of a simple music bed/loop, and a few other movie soundbites thrown in.
but you
can trash ist after squeezing it down to an mp3.
Ok, I am not clear on what you are telling me to do here. AFAIK, to get my GB file into iTunes, I have to go under the SHARE menu and select "send podcast to iTunes". The only option I can see for this is under Preferences > Advanced > Audio Podcast Settings: Spoken Podcast = AAC 64Kbps.
You lost me when you said "export from iTunes as a lossless AIFF file". It's in iTunes as an m4a... so how do I "not bother with m4a at all"?
Thanks again for your help.

SSRS report Excel Export file size is huge

Hello everyone,
I am facing an issue with SSRS report exporting to Excel.
Issue : Exported file size is too big.
I have a matrix report ( parametrized report ) it fetches data from multiple table.
initially when
1) I select all parameters all values
2) load the report after that
3) exporting to excel
so exported file size was about 10 Mb to 12MB
Now, suddenly from this month exported file size is too big around 62 MB for same data,
I checked on different forums and tried the solutions but it didn't worked,
can anyone please suggest me on this.
My environment is
Visual studio (BIDS) 2008
SQL Server 2008 R2
Excel 2007
Thanks

Hi UdayKGR,
According to your description, when you export a report into an excel file, the exported file size is too huge. Now you want to reduce the file size. Right?
In this scenario, do you export the report into excel 2003 file? When reports are first exported and saved to Excel 2003, they do not benefit from the file optimization that Excel automatically applies to its *.xls workbook files. The larger file size can
cause problems for e-mail subscriptions and attachments. To reduce the size of the *.xls files for exported reports, open the *.xls files and then resave the workbooks. Resaving the workbooks typically reduces their file sizes by 40 to 50 percent. Also please
try to install the Reporting Services 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 and reduce the merged columns in exported excel file. For more information, please see the links below:

When saving a document with linked images the files are still huge. How to save smaller file size?

I create a document with multiple artboards whereby every image I place in the document is linked, however the size of the document is still enormous (around 350mb). It's a big document with a lot of clipping masks on images but surely it shouldn't be so big.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

No way around it. Even if the images are linked, AI embeds previews of them, especially when they are processed in some way and affect appearance and a simple clipping mask qualifies for that just as much as pixel-based effects, opacity blending and what have you.

I am having issues suddenly exporting files. It reads error exporting 25 files, As I attempt to choose another destination folder the folders show a black square where the folder sign previously was. I am in my busy season and this has created a huge delay!!! HELP!!!!

oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
Advice much appreciated.

Not getting an option of exporting in mpeg 4 format? AVI file the size of the file is extremely huge

Hi,
I am not getting an option of exporting in mpeg 4 format? Infact when I am rendering in AVI file the size of the file is extremely huge. Please can somebody help me in reducing the file size & exporting in MPEG4 format.

You need to learn about encoding. The default file type is Lossless for a reason. If you are using Ray-tracing and you have a supported Cuda card you must use the Adobe Render Cue. If you are not using Ray-traced rendering then you should be using the Adobe Media Encoder.
This will get you started: Basic Workflow, the last section is on rendering.

Schema Import failed :IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file:

Hi ,
I was running a database schema import from a database DMP file.
I encountered the following error in the log file that was getting generated :
IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file:
All the tables got copied except for one. Now what I have thought of is to import that one table again after taking an export from the prod schema.
But what about the functions,triggers,procedures ?? How do i bring all of them in the schema ?
If reimporting the schema again the only option ?
Thanks

Hello,
In this order:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#i1023988
Table Objects: Order of Import
Table objects are imported as they are read from the export file. The export file contains objects in the following order:
1. Type definitions
2. Table definitions
3.Table data
4.Table indexes
5. Integrity constraints, views, procedures, and triggers
6. Bitmap, function-based, and domain indexes
The order of import is as follows: new tables are created, data is imported and indexes are built, triggers are imported, integrity constraints are enabled on the new tables, and any bitmap, function-based, and/or domain indexes are built. This sequence prevents data from being rejected due to the order in which tables are imported. This sequence also prevents redundant triggers from firing twice on the same data (once when it is originally inserted and again during the import).
For example, if the emp table has a referential integrity constraint on the dept table and the emp table is imported first, all emp rows that reference departments that have not yet been imported into dept would be rejected if the constraints were enabled.
When data is imported into existing tables, however, the order of import can still produce referential integrity failures. In the situation just given, if the emp table already existed and referential integrity constraints were in force, many rows could be rejected.
A similar situation occurs when a referential integrity constraint on a table references itself. For example, if scott's manager in the emp table is drake, and drake's row has not yet been loaded, scott's row will fail, even though it would be valid at the end of the import.

Export/Import Project still buggy in v2.1.3

After seeing the update notes for v2.1.3 and noticing references to project importing, I started to get excited that maybe the bugs have been ironed out. Unfortunately my longstanding bug still remains.
If anyone can think of any workarounds I'd be extremely grateful...
I have a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with 2GB RAM, running OS X 10.5.6 and now Aperture 2.1.3
I have a project with many images, arranged into stacks, a pick in each stack with many adjustment and a 62-page book created from these picks. There are also some smart albums and a light-table.
Now I export the project (i.e. in the Project Inspector I right-click the project and choose Export > Project) to a file on the desktop and rename the existing project in Aperture. I now import the saved .approject file and I find that all my Picks are no longer Picks and my book is therefore no longer made up of my desired images. (I've tried this many times now and ruled out the possibility of a corrupt export file).
As a result, when I select the Book I get the "Non-Pick Images" dialog with the dreaded "One or more placed items are no longer the pick of a stack." message. "Use Current Pick" ruins the book - I have to go through and work out all the picks again (and also re-pan all the images within the Photo Boxes as this data has also been lost). "Create new Version" appears to preserve my book's original look, but my project now contains a couple of hundred more images than it used to and my other albums and light-table still have incorrect images shown as the Picks.
Does anybody have any ideas of what I can do to ensure the stack-picks are preserved during the export/import process?
(By the way, the reason I'm exporting and then re-importing is because I actually want to do the export from my laptop where the project is and then the import on my main work machine where the rest of my Aperture library lives, but that fails for the same reason, so I'm doing the export+import on my laptop for now to reduce the number of variables in the problem.)

I go with the assumption that you now know how to create transport sets. After having created a transport set containing the objects you want to be exported, go to the administer tab under the main page of portal. There you will find the Export/Import portlet. Here you need to choose your transport set from the first LOV and then click EDIT to choose the "Security Option". Now you export out the stuff. This will export all the user page customizations for you.
Thanks.

Add BOM to Essbase exported file?

We've got a MaxL script that exports a Unicode-enabled database to a text file. By default that file is UTF-8 encoded, however it's "Unix" UTF-8 encoded and therefore has no byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file.<BR>While this practice may not be wrong or bad, we cannot load the files into Cognos Decision Stream. Because DS does not see a BOM it does not recognize the file as UTF8 and chokes on the load.<BR>Is there a way to automate adding the BOM UTF-8 signature to the exported text files? It appears from the documentation that 'essutf8 -s filename.txt' should work, but it does not - the file is still sans BOM. Suggestions?<BR><BR>Thank you.

>> Thank you so much. I tried to do this. But when I click on the button in the "scene" it says that I cannot add action to the selected item.
Any thoughts? Some setting I'm not getting right when creating the button?<<
Your Flash project is set to use Actionscript 3.0. In ActionScript 3.0 code cannot be added to buttons (or any symbol) directly it can only be added to a keyframe in the timeline. Mordys's suggestion above will work for a file that targets Actionscript 2.0 though.
Since I assume the code was sent by the people you created the banner for and the code is for AS 2.0, you should be able to change the targeting of the movie.
1- In Flash go to File>Publish Settings.
2- In the Flash tab of the Publish Settings dialog box Choose Actionscript 2.0 from the actionscript version drop down menu.
3-Close the window.
You can now go back to the timeline and add the code to the buttons as Mordy suggested.
In the getURL action I believe the address of the link should be inside quotes.
If you need the code for making a button in AS 3.0 it is considerably longer. If you need it shoot me an email, it is in my profile.

How to export files in CS4 to a new project?

I am trying to create a "Master" project by exporting or combining 3 of my edited projects into a distinctive project.
I have tried creating a New Project, as well as opening the first project of the Master series and trying to export the other 2 files into it.
With CS3 all I did was double click in the project box and import.
In CS4 it says the export files are not responding.
I can export single clips but not a complete project file.
It was so simple in CS3, but now it does not work in CS4; what's up.
Thanks Jim

Thanks for all the input.......I got it fixed; I think.
I reloaded CS4. And this time when I got to the "Import not responding" I clicked "Allow it to respond" or something like that. I had done that before but all I got was a clip or clips, not the projects. But this time it worked, I got the whole project.
I had to double click the grayed file in sequence #1.
t then went to a new TL still called seq #1.
Then I went back to the origional TL and deleated the grayed area.
Then I went back to second TL: "Edit" / "Select all" / "Edit" / "Copy".
Then back to the origional Seq #1 or TL: "Edit" / "Paste" / "Save".
Then I went up to the sceond TL header box and the clicked the "X - Close".
I ended up with new project with all three projects. I changed the name to Master #2.
After that I Rendered. I am still waiting on it to render for an 1 1/2 hours. Then I can see exactly where I am. But at least I get this far.
Thanks JIM

IBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly...

iBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly and drags when scrolling through pages, almost stopping the scroll. I have never seen this problem before with photo pages. Normally they scroll just as smoothly as text pages.
I have tried rebuilding the page with more compressed files to no avail. The image files used on the page are not any bigger than others I have used previously without any problem.
I have tried restarting my iBook.
I am using a template that I have modified quite a bit. The templates currently offered by Apple and third parties are not even close to what I am looking for in terms of layout, so I have to rip almost everything out of the page and start with a blank page, most of the time. I tried modyfying the layouts to save time and then saved as a new template. Apple really needs to add a module to create your own template at the beginning of a project. Or they need to create one very open template, without much on the pages.

I finally solved the problem by using an unmodified template. I would still like to know how my modifications to the other template caused the problem, but for now it remains a mystery. Thanks for your ideas.
Next I will try modifying the template without saving it as a template (merely saving it as a file) to see if I can get away with my modifications. Also I will make fewer modifications.
Slowly but surely I am learning this program by trial and error. Each time I try a few formatting variations, output an iBooks file, and open it on my iPad. I have probably done 20 of these tests, so far. Once I work out every detail of the design and structure, I will build the final book. I am lucky to have a beautiful PDF of the hardcover version, generously provided by my publisher. This not only sets a high bar for me, but also allows me to use some of their design elements via screen capture.
iBooks Author has great potential, but I along way to go to get there. One feature I would really like to see in the next update: the ability to add a hidden caption to a photo. The reader would tap the image and the caption would appear. Tap again and it disappears.

FCP export of rendered seq: some 'offline media' warnings in exported file

Hi,
We had an issue last weekend with a file that was exported from FCP:
- sequence was fully rendered in FCP
- export Quicktime movie (not a QTref)
- the exported file had an almost 1minute red 'media offline' warning in the middle of the file
- when we checked the sequence again at that sport, all the media was still there and all was fully rendered
- we did another export and all was fine ...
Anyone that had has this issue ?

Not particularly, but have you tried trashing all renders, then re-rendering?
It's possible the sequence was seeing a render file (but not connecting to it on export), when in actuality the clip/media is in fact off-line.
Give it a shot if you haven't and let us know.
Might also fill us in on details about your system and media you're working with.

What data is contained in the export file for a transportable tablespace?

"This operation will generate an export file, jan_sales.dmp. The export file will be small, because it contains only metadata. In this case, the export file will contain information describing the table temp_jan_sales, such as the column names, column datatype, and all other information that the target Oracle database will need in order to access the objects in ts_temp_sales."
What is the other information?

I don't have the sales dump. I was only quoting from the documentation. What i have is an export of 18 tablespaces - 9 partitioned data tablespaces and 9 partitioned index tablespaces.
What I was trying to determine was if I could still import the tablespaces if the tablespace files were from a time that was after (one week) the original export of the metadata or if there was some bit of information that was held in the metadata which would prevent this.

Exporting files that aren't too big to be able to upload to the web

I just got a new iMac and want to buy Final Cut Studio 2 for Final Cut Pro 6. My only concern is everytime i've used FCP, the files are always very huge. In the GB range. thats fine when im putting that stuff on a dvd, but now I need to upload those things to the web.
Is there a way to export projects so they are a manageable size? I know quality will get lost but I want to know if I can export files that I will be able to upload and have people view before I spend a good amount of $$ buying it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I like my way the best... but only because I like my way the best.
First, understand that what you are dealing with is an art... compression.
BUT thankfully Apple sees that my way is the best TOO and gave it to you as a simple option in the export path. (wink)
SO...
File - Export - QT Conversion.
Then,
FORMAT: QuickTime Movie
USE: Broadband HIGH
Then, hit the OPTIONS button and then SIZE. If your sequence is 16:9 change the size to 420x270. If not, leave alone.
Hit done and export.
Should come in around 5 megs a minute and look great!
Good luck,

Differences between application export files

Hello
Background: I want to check if an application in DEV environment is exactly the same as the one in TEST environment. Both envs have Apex version 3.0.0.00.20, on Oracle EE 10g. To do this, I exported the application from both environments and I am doing a DIFF between the export files.
Problem: The DIFF tool is finding lots of differences like the one below:
'   "PR_QUOTES"."HDU_NIGHT_CHARGE" "HDU_NIGHT_CHA';
s:=s||'RGE", '||chr(10)||
'   "PR_QUOTES"."INPATIENT_NIGHTS_ADJ" "INPATIENT_NIGHTS_ADJ", '||chr(10)||
'   "PR_QUOTES"."HDU_NIGHT_CHARGE" "HDU_NI';
s:=s||'GHT_CHARGE", '||chr(10)||
'   "PR_QUOTES"."INPATIENT_NIGHTS_ADJ" "INPATIENT_NIGHTS_ADJ", '||chr(10)||As you can see, the only difference is at which point the SELECT statement was broken in the attribution statement.
This makes the DIFF tool a bit pointless. Why does this happen? Any way to fix it?
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Paul
I am well, hope you too!
Thanks for the reply; that comparison report works well when both applications are in the same workspace, which is not my case.
Of course, I could import one of the applications in the other workspace and compare them there. I will do it as the last resort, but I am still curious about why the difference between the exports! :-)
Cheers,
Luis
