Flash CS5 File Size 1800% larger than CS3/4

We have 500+ FLAs that are essentially a sequence of PNGs loaded into the timeline, with a bit of AS3 code thrown in for the controller.
If we import the PNGs into a new, empty Flash CS3/4 document, add the document class and save the file, the resulting .fla is approx. 800Kb.
If we import the PNGs into a new, empty Flash CS5 document, add the doc class and save the file, the resulting .fla is 18Mb.
The resulting Published SWFs are within 1Kb of each other regardless of version, so it's clearly nothing to do with the content or the exporter.
Anyone know what's going on? This has just jumped our storage requirements through the roof.
Thanks
T

Update: in case anyone asks, the total size of all PNG assets is about 2.5Mb. Clearly CS3/4 is using some kind of RLE compression on the PNGs, which is fine. But that doesn't account for the additional 16Mb. What the heck is CS5 throwing in there?

Xp_smtp_sendmail file size is larger than allowed max sizer of 65536 bytes

Hi,
We have a daily routine which generates a text file and runs xp_smtp_sendmail with the @messagefile argument to use the text file in the body of the email.
It has always worked fine but recently we have been receiving the following error when trying to run it:
Error: @messagefile "Drive\Filename.txt" file size is larger then allowed max size of 65536 byte
Funnily enough the file in question is 66,220 bytes so only just big enough to exceed this limit. The file in question is created from scratch on a daily basis so maybe this limit has always been in place
and we are now exceeding it. My question is can we increase this limit somewhere and if so where? The SQL Statement I'm running is:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@To = '[email protected]',
@From = '[email protected]',
@messagefile = 'Filepath\Filename.txt',
@subject='Test please ignore',
@server='smtp.servername.domain'
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has!

Flash movie file size rather large?!

just created my first flash movie, but it is 25 mins long and
is 264mb in size!
is this normal, or can i get this file size down some how
without reducing the length of the movie or the quality where it is
not reasonable.
I have seen stuff on myspace and seen movie longer and the
quality is fair good, but does the files size have to be this much,
if so myspace must have 100000000 of gigs !!!
any advise is appreaciated.

hi again.
i have just saved the SWF file and when i play it, it does
not show the whole movie, it only shows about 80% of it length and
height.
what i mean by this is the following...
for example.. this is the whole movie screen size
but i only get this size
the right size and botton parts of the movie are cropped off
the screen
i have just uploading it to my site to test it out there too,
and the same thing happen there.
www.roundshaw.com/swf
does anyone know why does it not show the whole movie?
please advise what i should do next to fix this.
i have looked at the help files but have no idea where to
look as i do not know exactly what problem i am looking for in the
files.
thanks

The estimated project size is larger than the target media chosen

I am at a loss for trying to author a project using Adobe Encore. I first tried to author the project using version CS2. When attempting to export I received the following message:
"The estimated project size is larger than the target media chosen. While this is an estimate, the project may fail to build."
I have authored hundereds of projects in the past, but have never received that message before. I first thought that the problem was with the version of Encore I was using, but I received the exact same error when trying to author the project with Encore CS5.
The project itself has one menu, a motion menu, and one video file. The video file last 152 minutes, and I was attempting to export that to a dual layer DVD. I have since tried exporting the file using Adobe Premier CS5.5 using a variety of settings. I am trying to export it to a DVD-2 file, with the match soure attributes being set to the highest setting. The setting on the main concept MPEG encoder is set to 5. I have tried exporting the file using both constant and varaible bit rates.
When I recently exported the file using a contant bit rate of 6.5, I still had 650.4 MB remaining on my Encore project. I still received the same error about the project size, and so I am thinking that something else is wrong.
I have even exported the video file as an uncompressed AVI file, and then tried encoding it again using both Adobe Premier CS5.5 and the Adobe Encoder. I still get the same error message about file size.
Any help and/or suggestions about how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Using the Imgburn product worked! It also helped me figure out what the real problem was...
As it turns out, some single-layer DVDs had been mixed in with my dual-layer DVDs. I feel very foolish about this. All of my discs are printable, and so there is no indication written as far as what their capacity is on them.
Encore can be a bit vague in identifying a problem such as this. For example, I can set the settings to plan for a dual-layer disc, and it will display a graphical status indicator with that capacity in mind. When I saw the original file message error I honestly believed that there was a problem with the encoded file instead of the type of disc itself.
Imgburn instantly displayed the discrepancy in the type of disc I had loaded and the needed capacity for the type of project that I was trying to create.
Thanks again for your help!

How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word

I have just paid $20 to Adobe to get this facility but It won't work ,
as the pdf is larger than 100MB,
I actually believe that I have paid twice for adobe but I'll take this up with them,
in the meantilme,
do you have any suggestions, I really need this material in word urgently,

If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

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?

Can't save Flash CS5 files

Hi, I can't save my Flash CS5 files. I click file, save as, then appears a gray window with a menu drop down but I can't find any folder to save the file...I've tried to upload a screen shot but when I try to upload the picture the very same gray window appears and I can't do anything...Anyone could give me a hand? When I use other Adobe programs as After effects and Premiere everything works perfectly...!

Hi Greg,
Thanks for emailing me your FLA file so we could investigate. It looks like one of your assets is corrupted. This file crashes even in Flash CS4 when I drag sparks.jpg to the stage.
Flash CS5 crashes more quickly because it tries to validate this asset on save but can't because that asset is corrupted. If you remove sparks.jpg from the library, you can save the file in Flash CS5.
Thanks,

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!
Go to Solution.

updates vary by region and product code and if your handset is branded you may have to wait a bit longer as the network has to aproove the update
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

SaveEPSOptions CS3/CS4/CS5 file size

I have a script which saves multiple files as EPS format, and everything works well under CS3 and CS5, but when run in CS4, the file size is about 3X the size of the other versions. (1.3M in CS4; 300-400k in CS3/CS5). Is this a known issue in CS4, or is there some way I can work around this (other than checking the application version and disallowing saving in CS4)? Below are the saveEPSOptions I am using:
var saveEPSOptions = new EPSSaveOptions
saveEPSOptions.cmykPostScript = true
saveEPSOptions.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR12
saveEPSOptions.embedAllFonts = true
saveEPSOptions.includeDocumentThumbnails = true
saveEPSOptions.preview = EPSPreview.TRANSPARENTCOLORTIFF
saveEPSOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = false // Added for CS4/CS5

Don't know how to answer your last comment, only in terms of what I want it to do, which is to create an editable file that the layers can be changed, textures altered or added to the basic image background.

.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.

Exporting a jpg is 3 times larger than CS3

Clearly I'm missing some setting - I'm opening jpgs that had been created with FW CS3 and immediately saving it (for troubleshooting purposes). Optimize Quality is set to 75 | Smoothing 2. The file is fully 3 times larger than it was prior to save. I've exported instead of the straight Save and have the same result. I've lowered the Quality to 60 to make sure I was invoking the compressor ... the file lost 2k.
So a 260x83 bitmap moves from an acceptable 5k to 17k (or 15 with unacceptable compression level)?
Can't be right. Not even Adobe could have mucked up FW this badly.

Not too certain about this, but the increase in file size might be due to additional meta data in the file - that easily adds ~10kb to the file, so it might explain what you are seeing. But as far as I am aware, the save for web functionality in FW should remove meta data.
Use RIOT (radical image optimization tool) (win) or ImagOptim (mac) to check if this is the case or not, and remove the meta data.

All of a sudden I can't change my Photoshop CS4 Font size any larger than 18px. What did I do?

Hi
I was working on a logo today in Photoshop. I clicked on the font size to increase the text size from 18px to 30px. I got a message that I couldn't go any larger than 18 px. Any idea how to fix this???

Slow Performance or XDP File size very large

There have been a few reports of people having slow performance in their forms (tyically for Dynamic forms) or file sizes of XDP files being very large.
These are the symptoms of a problem with cut and paste in Designer where a Process Instruction (PI) used to control how Designer displays a specific palette is repeated many many times. If you look in your XDP source and see this line repeated more than once then you have the issue:
The problem has been resolved by applying a style sheet to the XDP and removing the instruction (until now). A patch has been released that will fix the cut and paste issue as well as repair your templates when you open them in a designer with the patch applied.
Here is a blog entry that describes the patch as well as where to get it.
http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2009/03/post.html

My XDP file grow up to 145mb before i decided to see what was actually happening.
It appears that the LvieCycle Designer ES program sometimes writes alot of redundant data... the same line millions of times over & over again.
I wrote this small java program which reduced the size up to 111KB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wow what a bug that must have been!!!)
Here's the sourcecode:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
public class MakeSmaller {
private static final String DELETE_STRING = "                           <?templateDesigner StyleID aped3?>";
public static void main(String... args) {
BufferedReader br = null;
BufferedWriter bw = null;
try {
   br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
   bw = new BufferedWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(args[0] + ".small")));
   String line = null;
   boolean firstOccurence = true;
   while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    if (line.equals(DELETE_STRING)) {
     if (firstOccurence) {
      bw.write(line + "\n");
      firstOccurence = false;
    } else {
     bw.write(line + "\n");
     firstOccurence = true;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
   if (br != null) {
    try {
     br.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   if (bw != null) {
    try {
     bw.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
File that gets generated is the same as the xdp file (same location) but gets the extension .small. Just in case something goes wrong the original file is NOT modified as you can see in the source code. And yes Designer REALLY wrote that line like a gazillion times in the .xdp file (shame on the programmers!!)
You can also see that i also write the first occurrence to the small file just in case its needed...

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.
