File sizes after transfer

I got a new computer and used the instructions for transferring songs to your new PC using your iPod and iTunes 6. It all went pretty well except when I got done there was nothing in my library except my purchased music. The instructions had stated to drag the “my music” folder out to the desktop and copy the iTunes folder into it, which I did.
When the songs did not show up in my library I started over and on the second try they showed up in the library. But now I have a folder on my desktop, “my music”. When I double click this folder it opens the “my music” folder which has 2 folders in it, iTunes and sample music.When I double click the iTunes folder it brings up more folders, iTunes music library (2.79 gb), iTunes library (2.49 gb), my music (5.52 gb), iTunes music (5.58 gb) and album artwork (38.9 mb). So it appears that I have gotten the songs in there twice somehow.
My question is, can I safely delete the “my music” folder that is on the desktop? In iTunes the direction the songs take is as follows: C:\Documents and Settings\Sandy\Desktop\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music. I don’t think desktop is usually part of the path so I probably did something when I did the transfer. Sorry for the long post, and I hope it makes sense, but if I don’t need to take up all that space on the hard drive I would like to delete something but right now everything is working and I hate to “fix it if it aint broke”.

Depends on what your cam's setting were when you recorded and how you ingested.
If you shot 720/24p, it was in a 60 fps stream. If you then removed pulldown on import, that would reduce file size.
If you shot 24pNative, instead, it doesn't record redundant frames. Upon log and transfer, the remove pulldown checkbox would not be checked the file size would be identical.

PDF file size after merging

I use Preview to merge PDF files. I have noticed that the resulting files are a lot larger than the sum of the single PDFs. An example: I have 3 files with the following file sizes: 70 KB, 120 KB, 1.3 MB. The resulting PDF after merging those files in one is over 5 MB.
Does anyone know why this is the case and how I can avoid it?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Tobias

Yes, I also have this problem.
Several PDFs with a combined size of ~13 MB, when merged are over 40 MB, making it unsendable by e-mail.
Very annoying!
This results from using Preview's "drag and drop" onto the sidebar to merge PDFs. DOn't know why.

Reducing File Size After Applying Digital Signature

I have a dynamic form created in Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2, reader extended in Acrobat Pro 9.4 and being filled in and signed in Reader 9.4. The form has multiple (10+) digital signature fields. In some cases, images (jpeg, tiff) are inserted into the form before it is circulated for signatures. Everytime a signature is applied, the file size grows based on the size of the images that have been attached as it seems to be embedding a signed version of the form each time a signature is applied. After a few signatures are applied, the file size can grow to be quite large. Is there a way to prevent it from doing this everytime a signature is applied so that the file can be kept to a more manageable size?

Go into the importing tab, and set the options to Mp3 at a lower bitrate, then go to your song and choose Convert to Mp3 - it will then create another copy at a lower bitrate - leaving the high quality original - you can then burn the smaller one to your CD - it shouldn't take long to convert.

Reducing file size after cropping in Pro X ?

I have just upgraded from 8.3 to 10.1. I use Acrobat solely to scan old material for putting on the web. As people that have made this switch know, the program is very different! And much simplier and better for my tasks. In 8.3 I optimized the size after cropping, and that discarded what I cropped. In 10.1 the optimization is taking place with the scan. Then I crop. How do I then delete from the file what I cropped out? If I optimize again it questions why I am doing it, and the image quality degrades.

Huge file sizes after editing DNGs in PS

Whenever I need to make a local adjustment and I bring the raw file (DNG) into Photoshop, it saves as TIFF or PSD, which increases the file size from 20mb to around 150-200mb. Is there a better format I can save as without compressing? Cheers.

Rendered files are big files and always will be. Only render files when you require them and delete them after us as you can always render them again. Of course once you have opened into LR you have rendered the file. The best way of reducing the size of the rendered file is to save as a compressed Tiff as this retains everything in a lossless format. If you don't require layers then why open into PS anyway?

Reducing song file size AFTER importing

I now realize that I should have used the iTunes preferences to set the import file type and the quality setting BEFORE importing songs. However, I now have over 170 songs in my iTunes library, and I would like to be able to reduce the file sizes for those songs. I will change the iTunes settings before importing any more songs, but I would like to be able to reduce the sizes of those files that I have already imported. Some of them are as large as 6 MB, while most of them are around 3 MB. Both are too big. Is there any way to take care of this problem? I am particularly concerned about those songs that I imported from the iTunes store after paying for them. Songs that I imported from my CDs can be done over, but I don't want lose the money that I have invested on those songs that I bought from iTunes.

Your answer reverses the usual order: it starts out with the bad news but then finishes with the good news...I think. I guess you're saying that nothing can be done with the songs I have purchased from iTunes. With them, I'm stuck with 3 MB for the usual 3-minute song. Well, so much for iTunes, then. I'll certainly never buy any more songs from them. That IS bad news. On the other hand, I think you're saying that I CAN convert songs I obtain from my CDs to smaller bundles. I used to do that quite routinely when I was in OS 9, but I'm not sure of how to do it now that I'm using OS 10.3.9. I hope it's not much more difficult, but I'll just have to see. Anyway, thanks for the information. Now I have to study OS 10 and the latest version of iTunes.

Huge file size after importing

I have a shell (6 slides) used to jump out to windows media
files. I imported only two slides from another project with text
objects only and now the file size jumped from 977k to over 10 Meg.
How on earth is this possible? basically powerpoint slides. NO
video. NO audio.
Plus, when I look at the project size in storyboard view
within Cap, it says the project is 1,234k. But when I look at it in
windows explorer it definitley says 10,333k. Why are the file sizes
inconsistent?
Thoughts, suggestions and good guesses are appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim

Jim,
I've never paid much attention over the years to the
Storyboard view Information panel, so I'm not entirely sure what
that "Size" value is referring to. I just opened one of my existing
projects and see "684.0KB," which is alot closer to the published
SWF size (569KB) than the project's source file (4,172KB).
When you say you see "10,333K" in Explorer, I assume you're
talking about the project source file. Since you said that you
don't have audio or video, then you must have only a short sequence
of slides containing background images imported from PowerPoint.
The dimensions of the PowerPoint presentation (the resolution of
the images) and their color depth will impact the size of the
images when imported into Captivate.
Could it be that the PowerPoint project contained some rather
large images to begin with?
That said, do you know already that Captivate 2 has a very
significant bug that causes the CP file size to grow dramatically
as you import/edit/re-edit your project? You didn't mention how
extensively you may have already edited your project, so I thought
I'd bring that up.
Another thing to consider would be whether your project's
library has lots of unused objects in it -- maybe images that came
in with the PowerPoint project but that you're not really using in
your slides. Cleaning out the library and saving the project will
net you a little savings.

PDF Files Size after Scan

I have a Canon MX892 (made for personal use) all in one printer in my home, when I scanned a 21 page document it turned out to be 14 meg in size. I scanned this same document from my office which has Konica C54 all in one printer (made for business use) and the file size was 6 meg.
Is there any way that I can reduce the size of files that I scan at home? I have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and tried saving it "optimized" and it only reduced the file from 14 meg to 13 meg.
I would appreciate any advice you might have.

Hi gold154,
You might also try Acrobat XI Pro's specific feature for optimizing scanned documents. This often reduces the file size on my scanned files.

How to achieve small file size after editing compressed video?

I recieved a video in .wmv file format with a file size of 6 MB. In Premiere its info is
320 x 240 (1.0)
00;03;17;01, 30.00 fps
44100 Hz - Stereo
I want to remove a few parts from the video with simple cuts and make video file with an appropriate file size and format for playing on a web page.
I made a simple test by importing and placing the video in a sequence and without any editing exported the sequence to FLV|F4V format with the preset: F4V - Same as source(Flash 9.0r115 and higher). This created a new video with the same quality as the original but the file size went to about 40 MB which I think will make it much slower than the original 6 MB file when played back on a web page.
I tried things like reducing the frame rate to 10 fps and lowering the sound quality. This didn't affect noticably the quality but the file size was reduced only with about 5 MB to the total of 35MB which is still very big for a web video.
I'm aware that editing a highly compressed videos can't produce the same quality with the same size but I will greatly appreciate any tips for lowering the files size while retaining some usable quality in a case like this.

Since wmv is Microsoft's format, you might want to use their free editor

How to render video without doubling original file size after minimal change

Using Photoshop CC, I am importing an otherwise finished H.264 960 x 540 video as a smart object and adding one tiny image for a few seconds and a transition. When I render the video, the file is over twice as large as the original (99KB to 224.6 KB). The only difference I can see is that audio saved in the original as 44.1 kHz mono, is saved in the new version as 48 kHz stereo. Please can you help me find out how can I render the video whilst maintaining the original quality without increasing the file size so much? Thank you.

You will have to read up on video compression on a general level. This is not something anyone can answer in a short forum post. It all comes down to what encoding settings you actually used when rendering, none of which you have tolds us. also be aware the recompressing an already compressed clip will always result in more compression artifacts and loss of quality with the same output settings. Inevitably you will actually want to use higher datarates to not completely degenerate your existing footage. Well, anyway, seriously do some web search. Plenty of stuff to find on the subject.

Preview.app increases PDF file size after deleting pages

Hello, I'm experiencing odd behavior with Preview.app and PDFs.
If I open a PDF with Preview, delete a page, then save the file, the file size increases anywhere form 2x to 20x. This happens both with PDFs that only contain text and PDFs that contain text and graphics. It is very frustrating because I start with a file that is 150KB, remove some pages and end up with a 10MB monster that I can't email to people.
Any help is appreciated. I can post a link to a test PDF for people to try to replicate with if it would be useful.

I generated the file with pdftex. I'm guessing that there must be different ways to encode a PDF and when Preview gets something with an encoding other than that provided by PDFKit, it rewrites the file how it likes. In my case this is increasing the file sizes. I tried finding docs about PDFKit on the Apple developer site, but couldn't find any details about ways of encoding a PDF.

Increased file sizes after migrating to the Ultra2

Upgrading from a 10,000E to an Ultra2 and have noticed that many of the files that I had on my 10,000E have grown after migrating to the Ultra2. The sizes vary from doubling to fractional, but there is a consistant increase in the sizes of files. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you seeing the size increase when you do an "ls -l" and get the size or is
the space used in the file system (ls -s / du / df) just higher than it was on the last machine?
If it is the latter and the file systems are using more space, it could be due to sparse
files. In other words, files with holes in them. Utilities such as tar and cpio do
not understand holes in files and when the files are moved, the holes are filled
in and the space required for the file increases. ufsdump understands the file
system and can recreate the holes in the files.
If the actual size of the file is increasing (ls -l), that is strange and more details
would be required.

Incorrect music library file size after upgrading to itunes 7.1.1.5

I was running itunes 7.0.2 and I have a 40gb click wheel IPOD (3rd Generation?). In itunes 7.0.2 my music library stats showed 7046 songs stored on 34.6 gb of disk space. Once I upgraded to itunes 7.1.1.5 and restarted itunes, my music library stats now showed 7046 songs stored on 445 gb of disk space and I can no longer sync my 40 gb Ipod to itunes because itunes says I don't have enough space available on my ipod.
What caused this change in reporting disk usage for my music library - which by the way is not correct, it is really 34.6 gb of space (which I confirm when I look at disk manager and evaluate the drive with the music file on it.
How do I get itunes to report my disk space correctly so I can start syncing my ipod again. I already reset and restarted my ipod, rebooted my laptop multiple times and even did a restore on my ipod (which of course wiped out all my music on the ipod).

I've had this problem too and since solved it. I now have Vista and iTunes working perfectly with my 20Gb iPod colour. I'm not sure whether the lack of comments means everyone is flummoxed or if We're the only people in the world who's had this problem!
Well in the name of sharing here is what I did:
1) Backed up my entire iTunes folder (inc album art work and all sub folders and iTunes ref files) to and external HD
2) Deleted everything other than the album artwork folder and the iTunes music folder
3) Uninstalled iTunes 7.2
4) Cleaned the registry
5) Restarted
6) Downloaded and installed iTunes v7.3.0.54
7) Opened new the install of iTunes
8) Clicked File> Add folder to Library> iTunes Music
9) Bingo my library is being sensible and reading the correct size AND my iPod syncs perfectly!
Not sure if the actual cure was the fact I cleaned out all the reference files and performed a reinstall or if it was actually a bug which apple fixed in version 7.3.0.54? Either way!
That's it. Simple. I hope this helps...

HELP!! Very Large Spooling / File Size after Data Merge

My question is: If the image is the same and only the text is different why not use the same image over and over again?
Here is what happens...
Using CS3 and XP (P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB Ram, 256MB Video Card) I have taken a postcard pdf (the backside) placed it in a document, then I draw a text box. Then I select a data source and put the fields I wish to print (Name, address, zip, etc.) in the text box.
Now, under the Create Merged Document menu I select Multiple Records and then use the Multiple Records Layout tab to adjust the placement of this postcard on the page. I use the preview multiple records option to lay out 4 postcards on my page. Then I merge the document (it has 426 records).
Now that my merged document is created with four postcards per page and the mailing data on each card I go to print. When I print the file it spools up huge! The PDF I orginally placed in the document is 2.48 MB but when it spools I can only print 25 pages at a time and that still takes FOREVER. So again my question is... If the image is the same and only the text is different why not use the same image over and over again?
How can I prevent the gigantic spooling? I have tried putting the PDF on the master page and then using the document page to create the merged document and still the same result. I have also tried createing a merged document with just the addresses then adding the the pdf on the Master page afterward but again, huge filesize while spooling. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated :)

The size of the EMF spool file may become very large when you print a document that contains lots of raster data

SYMPTOMS
When you print a document that contains lots of raster data, the size of the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spool file may become very large. Files such as Adobe .pdf files or Microsoft Word .doc documents may contain lots of raster data. Adobe .pdf files and Word .doc documents that contain gradients are even more likely to contain lots of raster data.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Graphics Device Interface (GDI) does not compress raster data when the GDI processes EMF spool files and generates EMF spool files.
This problem is very prominent with printers that support higher resolutions. The size of the raster data increases by four times if the dots-per-inch (dpi) in the file increases by two times. For example, a .pdf file of 1 megabyte (MB) may generate an EMF spool file of 500 MB. Therefore, you may notice that the printing process decreases in performance.
Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, bypass EMF spooling. To do this, follow these steps:1. Open the properties dialog box for the printer.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Print directly to the printer option.
Note This will disable all print processor-based features such as the following features: N-up
Watermark
Booklet printing
Driver collation
Scale-to-fit
Back to the top
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION
Steps to reproduce the problem
1. Open the properties dialog box for any inbox printer.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Make sure that the Print directly to the printer option is not selected.
4. Click to select the Keep printed documents check box.
5. Print an Adobe .pdf document that contains many groups of raster data.
6. Check the size of the EMF spool file.

File sizes explodes after removing hidden information

After removing hidden content in Acrobat Pro X (Tools/remove hidden content or Tools/sanitize) the file size increases, up to 10x (2 MB -> 20 MB). Save as optimized PDF only partly reduces the problem, file is still 3-4x the initial size. Document was created with Adobe PDF writer, but this problem occurs in principle also with other PDFs. Bug? Necessary? Workaround? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Any one found a solution to this problem?
I'm having it too, acrobat xi pro 11.0.10...
Original file size before cropping ~27MB
Same file saved as optimized PDF before cropping ~12MB
Original file size after cropping ~27MB
Same file saved as optimized PDF after cropping ~12MB
Original file saved as some other file name after removing hidden information ~60MB
Same file saved as optimized PDF after cropping AND after removing hidden information ~60MB
What on earth is going on?
