File Size too lar

Forgive me if this question is elementary--I have an 8GB Zen Micro. I have about 600 songs on it and it's almost at half full capacity (I have no photos or anything else on there). Each song has been saved at about 3MB. am I supposed to be saving these at a smaller size? And if so, how do I convert the songs I have to that smaller size? I have an older Mp3 player with which I was able to save songs smaller, but can't figure out how to do it with the Zen software. Any advice? Or are my songs supposed to be this large? At this rate I'll send up with about 2000 songs I had hoped to get between 3000-4000 as implied...

That's already rather a small file size.
If you read the information usually listed under the asterisks (*), it says what format.
Could you please state what bitrate you are currently using, and I assume you're talking about MP3.
For the ~4000 tracks you have to make the files at a slightly low bitrate, in WMA (not MP3). I guess it states 3000-4000 @ WMA 64 kbps
You can use the Creative Media Converter (I think you get it with all Creative players)
Otherwise have a look around on the web for MP3 bitrate changers, or MP3 to WMA converters.
I wouldn't recommend going any lower than WMA 64kbits though, I personally have mine at MP3 92kbps (a majority), never lower than MP3 28kbps though.
Good luck and keep in mind, once you lowered bitrate, you can't go back up (without reading from CD or downloading again)!

  • 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?

  • .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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Target File Size Too Large?

    Hello,
    We have an interface, that takes a Source File-> Transforms it in the Staging Area ->and outputs a Target File.
    The problem is the target file is way too large than what it is supposed to be.
    We do have the 'Truncate Option' turned ON, so its not duplicate records..
    We think its the Physical and Logical Lengths that are defined for the Target files.
    We think the logical length is way too large causing substantial 'spaces' between the data columns thereby increasing the file size.
    We initially had the Logical Length for the data columns as 12 and we got the following error:
    Arithmetic Overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.
    When we increased the Logical Length from 12 to 20 the interface executed fine without errors. But now the target file size is just way too large 1:5
    Any suggestions to prevent these additional spaces in the target columns??
    Appreciate your inputs!
    Thanks

    Since 'File-system' does not have a property 'column length', ODI will automatically set a standard 'column length' according to the datatype of the column. In your case, as both your source and target is File, check the max length of each column in your source ( Ex: if your file is huge then open the file in excel and verify the lengths) and set the same 'Logical length' for your target file datastore.
    drop the temporary tables (set the 'delete temp objects' option to 'true' in the KMs) and re-run the Interface. hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Parasuram.

  • .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.

  • Unable to create animated gifs, file size too large???

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create an animated gif and every time I save for web, select gif, and click on animate I receive an error stating that my file size is too big and I should remove layers. My animated gif is composed of 8 layers of jpegs, each originally about 1 MB. I've tried to reduce the image size by adjusting the ppi and also reducing the amount of layers to just 2 and I still get the same error.
    Is there a way I can fix this so I can produce animated gifs, and is there a way you can know if it will work on not, before you try and save it?
    Also, when I save the image I only have 1 layer visible, does that matter at all?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Something is very wrong here. The point behind using GIFs is that they are small and OK to put on a Web site.
    First thing: forget all about PPI - this has absolutely no relevance to Web/screen images; it is only used for printing. You need to think about the pixel size.
    So, how big in pixels are your starting images?
    How big do you want the resulting GIF to be? Again, you have to decide in pixels, as the viewing size will depend upon screen resolution of the person looking at it. You can use a notional PPI of 70-100 to guess how big it will be in inches, but that's all it is - a guess.
    Is this getting you going in the right direction?
    I cannot resist commenting that I hate almost all animated GIFs as they reduce Web site usability so much.

  • Imovie file size too large

    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   20" iMac 2.16Ghz intel core 2 duo, MacOS 10.4

    Hello,
    I'm pretty new to using a camcorder and importing the footage it into iMovie and iDVD. I was wondering this: does it seem normal that a four minute video in iMovie would = 836MB? I knew video took up a lot of memory but I didn't think it was quite that large. I took the video with my Sony HandyCam MiniDV (model HC-48). It was recorded in the 16:9 format, SP mode.
    Second question, I agreed to record a wedding for a friend and she would like me to take quite a lot of footage. I'm thiking I could end up having 6 hours of video on MiniDV tapes by the time I'm done (before editing). I have a limited amount of HD space left on my iMac G5 (aprox. 36GB), would you recommend importing the video in smaller sections, editing it, burning it to DVD (as a themed movie) and then repeating that method? Or would it be a much better idea to get a 250GB external hard drive and set it up to be able to give me the extra 'head room' I need for the editing and finishing process? Do you have any good recommendations for an external (FireWire) hard drive brand that works well with Macs, but is also affordable (I'm not really hoping to drop a lot more money into this project)?
    Sorry to throw so many questions at you in one post. This project has mushroomed WAY beyond what I first thought it was going to be so I'm trying to get ready for this in a hurry (wedding is two weeks away).
    Thank you for any insights you can offer.

  • File Size TOO LARGE with linked files

    Recently, I am working with illustrator CS6.
    After inserting quite a lot of linked images (without embadding), the file size becomes much larger, up too nearly 400MB.
    I saved without pfd competatble funcion already, but the file size is sill verry large
    I did not face the same problem working with CS5 before, is that a bug for CS6?
    or are there any suggested ways to solve?
    THANKS

    Are you "Placing" the image files or are you copying and pasting the files as so-called smart objects where they come in on their own layer?  See if you can flatten the file.  Another option is build the images in Photoshop and bring them in as one image.

  • File sizes too large  help

    hi everyone, im new in final cut pro and i was wondering why my video so larger size in after i export it (i use quick time conversion) for example, i did a test with my iphone 4 i shoot a video like 2 mins long 720p of course, the video size came to be 64 megabytes i put into final cut i played around with color correction a little bit i exported it again using quick time conversion an now that same video is over 300 megabytes why is this? am i doing something wrong when im exporting ?? any step by step guide on how to export hd without having too big of a file size and still maintain hd quality. please help

    There are many different codecs available, which can dramatically vary the size and quality of video. When you do "Export using Quicktime conversion", you need to check what video codec you're using.
    Can you explain what you eventually want to do with your video? (eg, put it online, for example) This will determine the best codecs to use for export. Also, FCP has several "quick" exports available via the File - Share menu (rather than doing a Quicktime export) which may be of use to you (eg, there's a Youtube export preset).

  • Mac OS creates huge PDF file - PDF file size too big

    Hi,
    I have a 80 K Word file. The file is one page, some text and a 12 KB .jpg file imported in. I then duplicated the jpg graphic 7 times (8 total images).
    Here are the resulting sizes when creating PDF's using different methods within Mac OS X print menu:
    Save as PDF 550 KB
    Compress PDF 5.2 MB !!!!
    Save as PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.5 MB !!!!
    Compress PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.1 MB !!!!
    I recreated (from scratch) the same content using Canvas. I got the following:
    Canvas X "Save as:PDF" 56 KB
    Mac OS print pdf 550 KB
    Mac OS print compress PDF 2.5 MB !!!
    Can anyone explain what is going on??? I can make the file available if you with to play with it.

    I don't have distiller on my Mac... and the point (which I haven't gotten into) is that this is for a friend who just got a Mac. So, here I was touting the ease of use and she goes and finds a way to turn a 60 kB Word file into this monstrosity. So, the point is to avoid "extra steps" and additional software (which I eventually had to do anyway with Canvas X).
    I just don't understand how the Mac OS X PDF maker can take a 60 kB Word document and turn it into a 5 MB behemoth... and this is when set to compress the PDF!
    I mean, a 5 MB jpeg is about 40-50 MB uncompressed which, for an 8.5x11" page is 300 dpi at 16 bit RGB color, 400 dpi 8 bit color.
    I've just never come accross anything like this and am totally clueless what is going on.
    Thanks for any insights.

  • Exporting to PDF - file size too big

    Hello! Hope you are all well
    I have a Price Guide that i have converted from Quark to InDesign. When the price guide was exported as a PDF at smallest file size possible in Quark, i could get it down to 5mb. At smallest file size (and modified to be even lesser quality images) in InDesign, i can't get it below 8.7mb. We need it to be below 5mb to send via email. The images it is linking to are exactly the same as the images the Quark file was linking to, but just to make absolutely sure i could get the smallest size possible, i went into photoshop and made every image that was over 10mb smaller.
    I wouldn't mind telling my boss it can't be done - but we know it can be in Quark....so i don't see why not in InDesign.
    Any ideas anyone?
    I'm on a Mac, OSX 10.5.8, InDesign CS3.

    linziloop,
    I've run into the same problem. Some of my clients insist on the smallest possible PDFs, regardless of (poor) image quality. I've been able to reduce the PDF sizes dramatically by printing to PS and then distilling the PS file (someone else mentioned that this was the Quark method).
    Don't know why it works, since I use the same settings (compression, etc.) as I use when printing directly to PDF or exporting to PDF. But it works for me.
