File sizes grow too fast when asset added

When I add a 125 Mb mp4 file to my menu in DVD Studio Pro, the size of the file as indicated by the green guide at the top goes from 3.4 Gb, to 5.4 Gb.
Any idea why a 125 Mb .mp4 file would cause the DVD to get so big so fast?

Yes, the main DVD assets are one .m2v and .ac3 file with chapter markers that make up the 3.4 GB. The file I want to add is a smaller, 1/2 hour separate and related file. This is why I tried to use .mp4 because I was less concerned about the video quality.

File Size Growing too much with every Save

I have designed a form that uses Giids with drop-down lists and also some Image Fields. When I am using the form and I save it the file size grows excessively with each save. If I add even one character to a sentence the file size may grow by as much as 500K or more. Saving a few times causes the file to become far to large to send by email. Any ideas what I need to try and fix, or is this just normal?

Nope, I have it unselected and it still grows by leaps and bounds. Any other ideas? Is there anyone I can send a form to who can work on it for a fee?

How do I split a pdf file when the file size is too large?

How do I split a pdf file when the file size is too large? Thanks!

With Adobe Acrobat. It can also optimize your document to make the size smaller.

"File size is too large"

When I imported the only 4 files in a particular folder (scans of photos) into the Organiser, the message "File size is too large" came up for two of them instead of preview images, although do appear to have been added to the Catalog as their MB size, pixel dimensions and creation date show in the Properies General tab.
I take it this must relate to pixel count and not the file size per se as the two tifs (13.2 and 13.3 MB but 1792 x 2508 and 2518 x 1798 pixels) are fine, while the two JPGs (12.9 and 30.8 MB and 9616 x 6480 and 7048 x 10376) are the ones without preview images?
I wasn't aware of this as a problem, so can anybody tell me please, have I just set too low a limit somewhere or is there a real restriction?
And is this new to PSE6 or something that's been around for a while?
Thanks, Peter

I have a 212mb psd file (a panorama). I have Elements 6.0 and 4 meg RAM, Vista.
I went through the regedit process as outlined in Adobe Technote kb402760 and upped it to 1,000,000,000. I would think that would have given enough headroom for my file size. But it didn't. I still have the generic "file size too large" on my thumbnails.
I did note that the tech note had a different location for the Software/Adobe/Elements 6.0/Organizer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ ) from the location in my file structure. In fact, this string was listed in at least three places OTHER THAN the one indicated in the Technote. How likely is it that adding "MaxImageSize" to the Elements 6.0 register locations other than specifically indicated is the reason why the file size capacity was not increased. Why doesn't Elements show up in the location indicated by the Tech Note?
NOTE FOR ADOBE: Why isn't this a more easily accessible option in the user interface? If I have a large file that slows things down a bit on my thumbnails, that could be my choice. This artificial constraint built into the regedits that no one goes to is too much like parental controls for 5 year olds.

File Size Grows Upon Insert

My image file sizes grow enormously when I insert them. One
jpg (a still) is 9.87 KB but when I insert it in DW the readout
shows it as adding 120K! Another jpg (banner) starts at 20K but
when inserted it's 70K. Is it related to using layers? I'm just
starting on DW so I must be doing something wrong. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.

Why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel?

I posted my problem earlier today, but re-reading it maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
My main question is: "why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel ?". This is occuring after I have selected my media from the Tasks Panel and placed them in correct order in the Timeline/Sceneline. I knew something was wrong when I could see that the clips were not indicating their right length when viewed in the (expanded) timeline. They were compressed into just a few seconds, whereas the clips should have been at least 5 minutes. I ran the clips in the monitor and sure enough they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.
The 3 video clips I am trying to make into a HD PAL video were taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. These are in mp4 format. Can this present a problem ? Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer in (Windows Media Player) they run fine.
After I placed the clips in my Project Panel (or before in the Organize Workspace), I have perforned no change or manipulation of the clips. They are in their original state.
Just too confirm that the clips did seem to be compressed, I burnt a DVD, the resultant video ran in a matter of seconds.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, that is what the problem was.
Although the video camera on my Nokia N8, mobile was capturing at 25fps,
for some reason once transfered over to PrE9 (via file transfer), the clip was interpreted as 500fps. Once in Interpret Footage I was able to change the fps to 25.
Thanks for the help.

PDF file size grows each time form is saved (with no data changes). Why?

I have an SAP Adobe form (PDF) and we are seeing a difference in the Save behavior between when it is viewed in Adobe Reader vs. the adobe plug-in(?) for Internet Explorer.
When the form is viewed in Internet Explorer, every time the user saves the form the file size grows (even with no data changes in the form - i.e., open the form, hit save). This is not true if the form is opened in Adobe Reader.
The form in question has multiple pages but the only fields directly bound to the SAP source are a handful of identifiers (e.g., order number) and a dynamic table. It appears from our testing that the more entries in the table when the form is created, the greater the size increase each time the file is saved. The table length is not changed after the form is first generated.
Is there a known difference in the behavior of Adobe Reader vs. the browser plug-in which would account for this difference? Our users have Adobe Reader X installed on their machines.

If this is an XFA form, as opposed to an Acroform, you should ask in the LiveCycle Desiger forum or a more relevant LiveCycle forum.

My bookmark menu moves too fast when I try to pick a submenu with my mouse.

My bookmark menu moves too fast when I try to pick a submenu with my mouse.
When I am trying to surf to a website using my bookmark menu and
navigating with my mouse, I click Bookmarks, then a main menu item, and then a submenu item. While moving my mouse from the main menu item to the submenu item, if I happen to stray off the main menu item briefly before I get to the submenu item, Firefox picks the wrong submenu item. I ran a utility program recently to "speedup" Firefox on the internet, but I did not want to speed up the menu operation. Please help me get the menu delay back.

You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

LPX file size grows every time I save (with almost no changes) - WHY?

Hi all,
I am just now starting to move from Logic 9 to Logic Pro X. I first imported a very simple file from logic nine as a folder project and did not import anything except the file.
- Then, I immediately saved it. took more than 30 secs on core i7 - why so long?
- next I "saved a copy as" file 1a - file size 700k - nice and small.
- that I loaded the first logic X file back in and muted a few things and saved again
- I made some other very minor changes like muting and re-saved three or four times.
Here is what is strange –
Original file = 1 MB
main LX file was 2 megs and each subsequent save gained about 1 MB each time I hit save! So, the final grew to 6 MB after just a few saves!
I checked to see if there was some large edit history file I could purge – but it was empty because all I had done was change some mutes…
Q: what is going on with this large file size growing every time I hit save without any major changes – I would like to know what's going on.

It has to do with undo history, backups, and autosaves. You can see these if you right click on the file and show package contents. Explore in there and you should see these growing in the alternatives folder. I would imagine there is kind of a limit to how many of these there are, but haven't looked to closely at it.

CFX_Image seems to resize ok but the file size is too big??

my host uses CFX_IMAGE v1.6.6.11 (
http://80.79.138.227/cfximage/index.cfm
which does a perfectly good job of resizing images except for
the fact that the resultant file size is too large. i found that
compared to resizing images locally, resizing using this tag
resulted in file sizes of double the size.
i have tried tweaking the "quality" paramater but without
success, i could get the file size down but then the quality was
poor.
so i am forced to resize images locally using macromedia
fireworks or MS paint before uploading them.
ideally i need to be able to resize images server side but
without inordinate file sizes.
does anyone else use a cfx_image tag that's more efficient?
or does anyone else know how to get this tag to perform better?
any help would be very gratefully received.
thank you

Hi,
You may want to take a look a this script:

Huge file size grow when using external editor

Hello,
I want to use an external editor such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. When I set one of the applications to be the external editor everytime I open a file for editing a version is created with a file size of approx. 57 Mb.
Any ideas what is going on here?

Lt, it's also worth seeing if you have the setting for the TIFF so that it best suits you. If you don't require a 16 bit TIFF make sure the it's set to create an 8 bit TIFF instead. The 57 meg size sounds like a 16 bit image. An 8 bit one will be half that
. Before Aperture I used to stay16 bit right up until I passed the image off to whoever it was going to, at which point I'd make them an 8 bit version because that would usually be what they wanted. But now so much of whatever advantage that brought me (exposure and tonal changes, especially in solid areas) is being done in Aperture, even before creating a TIFF, so it can be argued that for many people the advantage of exporting 16 bit to the external editor isn't gaining them that much. If it's going to a consumer printer (that is not 16 bit aware) even more so. 16 bit is better, but if size is an issue and Aperture is doing 90% of the global tweaking, I don't think sending the editor an 8 bit TIFF is a crime : )

PDF file size grows with each save if .access property set on a field

We are seeing an odd form behavior and have isolated the apparent trigger to something we are doing in the form script. I'm hoping someone can confirm they see the same problem, details follow:
We have a form generated in LiveCycle. It contains a text field. In the docReady event for that field we have javascript which sets the field to be readOnly (TextField1.access = "readOnly"). We reader extend the form so we can save it from reader and/or the plug-in/control which is used by a browser when reading PDFs.
With that simple form, open the form via the browser (we've tested with both IE and Chrome) and without doing anything else, just save the form (with a new name). When we do that, the saved copy of the form is significantly bigger than the copy we started with. If we then repeat the process using the newly saved file, the third copy is bigger than the second.
This file growth does not happen if you open the file in Adobe Reader (instead of in the browser).
When we look at the file contents via a text editor, what we have found is that each save via the browser is tacking on a chunk of data to the end of the file AFTER the %%EOF mark. This new section appears to be one or more object definitions and ends with another %%EOF. The first portion of the file (prior to the first %%EOF) is identical in all versions of the file.
If you take a copy of the file that has these extra section added, then open and save it in Adobe Reader, it eliminates those extra sections and you get a 'clean', small version of the file again. So those extra sections are clearly erroneous and unnecessary.
Another thing worth noting, we took the script for setting the field access property out of the docReady event and put it as the click event on a button added to the form. If you then open the form, press the button and save it you see the file growth (but not if you don't press the button.) So it doesn't appear related to the docReady event, or timing of when we set the access property of the field.
On the small test form described above the growth of the file is around 13KBytes. But in testing with our real forms we've found that the amount of growth seems to be tied to the size/complexity of the form and the form data. In our most complex form with multiple pages with hundreds of fields and a large amount of XML data (form size is 2+MB), we are getting a file size increase of 700KBytes on each save. This is a therefore, a significant issue for us, particularly since the process in which the form is used requires the users to save it a couple of times a day over the period of a month or more.

I would start by exporting the XML data from the form before and after it grows to see if it is the underlying data that is growing and where. Did you define a schema and bind your form fields to a data connection created from the schema? That is always my first step when creating a form. It makes for a smaller saved file not including multiple levels of sub forms in the data structure.

File sizes growing by magic?!?!?!?!?!?!

I create DVD's for a wedding business. My file sizes are "growing" and i don't know why. This is the first time I've noticed it. I've designed and burned over 100 wedding DVD's using this method. I use a template in DVD studio pro and I drag and drop my assets onto the appropriate button.
The project material is 102 minutes. Some double layered video.
This particular project says that a
DVD best quality 150 min compression (using compressor template) is 3.92G. I put it in the DVD template and it jumps to 4.4G.
The audio size (AIFF 16bit-2200Mhtz) is 68M. I put it in the template and my 4.4G from above jumps to 5.7G. 68M to 1.3G??
I have no idea what is wrong. I've spent four days compressing in various ways using compressor. The description above is the fifth and last attempt.

What you should do is open the project, close the project, then reopen it. The calculator of size is not always accurate and can "jump" when assets change.
Also do not use AIFs, make AC3s and use them instead, saves room and improves performance (prevents issues)
Also note thhat is you are using items in motion menus, that also in creases size each time you extend the length of time (or add audio if there was none)
You should have no isssues with getting 102 minutes of video on a DVD-5 usually (unless very high motion and you need higher encoding rates)
Build to the hard drive to get a better sense of the real size if the above does not help )opening/cclosing/reopening should get you back on track though)

How can I reduce the file size of a pdf when exporting?

I don't want to just choose between high quality print or smallest file size.
I want to export it from 60MB to 40MB.
Can I do this manually? When I use smallest file size the quality is too low and the content looks bad.
But high quality print exports my PDF at 60MB which is too big.

You cannot simply legislate the size of a PDF file. If you content is primarily text and vector, there is not much at all you can do to reduce PDF file size other than to cut out content. Otherwise, the only other variables are those of downsampling and compressing the raster images from your content.
You must be very careful in choosing the PDF export settings. The “smallest size” settings yield PDF files that realistically really are not fit for printing and may mess up any CMYK colors. The “high quality print” and “PDF/X-4” settings yield best print output, but yield the largest PDF files since they do less image resolution downsampling and only the maximum quality lossy JPEG compression.
I would recommend that you start with either the “high quality print” or the “PDF/X-4” settings and make a custom set of export settings. Assuming that you aren't going for offset or gravure printing, change the color image and grayscale image downsampling values from 300 and 450 to either 200 and 275 or no less than 150 and 225. If that doesn't give enough file size reduction, change the compression image quality from “Maximum” to either “High” or no less than “Medium.” Beyond these changes, you may end up with PDF files that will neither print nor display with any reasonable quality.
