Help me about file size!

I have a link of a file. Can you help me to know the size of ift before I download it.

Hi,
You can't unless you can query the server about the size.

Acrobat lying about file size

I am trying to create a small PDF using Acrobat 8 on a Mac. I have several jpg files, and together they are exactly 10.17 MB. I am using the Combine Files feature of Acrobat. I press add files, select my jpgs, and choose 'Default File Size'. I press Next, than Create. Acrobat then proceeds to combine the files, and informs that the Original Total Size is 10.17 MB, and that the final PDF size is 103.16 KB. So I press 'Save', and save the PDF file. But the PDF file that is saved is about 10.4 MB!!
There is obviously an issue here, and I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the Combine Files dialog is lying to me. Please help!

This does not seem to help There are no embedded fonts; I'm just putting images together using Combine Files. I set the options to the following in the PDF Optimizer, and the file size is still 10.4 MB (text in red is what is selected):

Like I said, the above options yield a pdf of the same size (10.4 MB). I don't know what the deal is.
Recently I've had to reinstall CS3 due to a hard drive failure. Could there possibly be some default option that is different now? Because, before the reinstall I used Combined Files and it always yielded a pdf of the size that Combine Files said it would be.
Just in case additional details are needed: I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional as part of CS3 Design Standard, on an Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.5.7.

Report RFIDITVCL - problem about file size

Hi All,
I have implemented the sap note 0001606246 and 0001639418 and I'm making some test
Please, could you tell me how can you solve the problem of the maximum number of row? it is required that detail records can not exceed 15.000. I made a small test and my file contained more than 36000 rows. The same problem is related to the file size that can not exceed 3 MB. Have you the same problem or how did you solve it?
Thank you very much for your help.

Question about file size when using "Export for Web"

Hi!
I created a .mov file and worked to get a great balance between file size and quality so that I could deliver it via the web and make it easier for end users to see the video on a slower connection.
My question: When I use "Export for Web," my .mov file is converted into a very large .m4v file--more than double the size of the original file. I know that this export option is to optimize the file for a wide variety of users/internet speeds. Am I correct in guessing that the end size is not an issue? I would post the .mov file instead, but I really like the option of embedding into a html page along with the "click to play" option.
Bottom line--is it better to post the smaller .mov file that i originally started with or to go ahead and link to the bigger .m4v file that was created with the "Export for Web" option?

"Export for Web" is a feature of QuickTime Pro and it makes 4 files and the html page code for easy copy/paste Web page editing.
The very first file is called a "reference movie" and it links to the other 3 files (56kbps, 900kbps and 1.5Mbps). It, and the page code, "read" the connection speed of the viewing hardware and "serve up" the correct file based on that connection speed.
In nearly all cases the "Desktop" version would still be smaller in file size than the original source. The times the file would "increase" in file size would be when an already compressed was used as the source file. You can find out more about your source file by opening it in QuickTime Player and viewing the Movie Inspector window information.
There are dozens of other html "tricks" that could be used if your source file is already compressed but you want a different display size:
Page code to show "aspect" or scale="tofit". This code allows values "outside" of those found in the actual QuickTime file be used for the Web page display. A 320X240 QuickTime .mov file looks pretty good at double size (640X480) but the file size would still be that of the source file.
"Poster Movie" is another html trick that loads the Web based file directly in the QuickTime Player application (bypassing Web page layout restrictions). These files are also known as "Presentation Movies".
Another method is the QuickTime Media Link file (.qtl). These are simple text based files that are used as a "direct link". These use simple XML (Extensible Markup Language) and are easily created in any text editing application. The simple syntax has amazing control over a simple QuickTime .mov file. You can launch (and quit) the QuickTime Player, display at other dimensions and even embed "links" inside the display.
Some of my files as examples:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/ a "Poster Movie" style.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
A QuickTime Media Link file. A tiny file should download to the viewing machine, launch QuickTime Player, present the movie and it even includes a "link" to my Web page.
Edit: It appears you must now double click the .qtl download to launch QuickTime.

PLS help me about file access!!

now the file struct is like the bellow:
<root>/db
db.db
<root>/server
RemoteDataImp.java
how to write the code in RemoteDataImp.java to access file db.db??
the code writen bellow is wrong!
dataWrapper = new Data("../db/db.db");

first if this is a file for your database then you need to connected to
the machine and then you make the code that can access this file
if you use windows then all you have to do is go to control panel
and then open Data Sources (ODBC)in User DSN click on Add button
there choose the database driver if you use Access then double click on
that then anther box will popup there in Data Source Name write the name
of the file or any name let say in your case the name is db.db
then down there you will see a button calls Select click on that
button to select the file you have saved you database in
I will give you an idea about how to call you database files if you use Access
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
public class RemoteDataImp {
private static final String DEFAULT_DRIVER = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";

public RemoteDataImp(String driver,String info)throws Exception{
    if (driver == null) driver = DEFAULT_DRIVER;
    if (info == null) info = DEFUALT_CONNECTION_INFO;
    Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection(info);

Help me about file and array

hi
I need read a file into an array and write a new file from that array.
for example I read photo.gif into an array (array[ ]) and I write
newphoto.gif from that array (array[ ] )

Your read(cleartext) method may or may not read the whole of the file at one time. The value returned by the read is the number of bytes actually read and may not be all the bytes in the file. So the answer is that you can't reliably use your code though it may work most of the time.
Did you read my comment about reading the whole of a file into memory at one time? Did you bother to look at the reference I posted?

Export file size help...output seems way too big

I have a 12 minute movie with audio, video and stills in it.
Currently when I export it the file is 865MB... I need it to be less than 100 with decent quality. It is a tutorial video that will be downloaded from the web.
Can you please give me some direction on how to do this? On what variables to change etc. I know if I exported this out of Camtasia Studio, it would be around that 100 or less bench mark .... problem is I don't know what the settings for the Camtasia preset are.
I am using the following setup:
Quicktime Format
Summary:
Output:
1400x790, 15(fps), quality 100
48000 Hz, Stero, 16 bit
H.264
Source:
Sequece, 01-OverviewSWKit
1920x1080 (1.0), 24fps, Progressive, 00:12:03:12
48000 Hz, Stereo
Settings:
Video Codec: H264
Basica Settings:
Quality 100
Width/height (1400 x 790
Aspect: Square pixels (1.0)
Render at maximum depth - "UN"-checked
Depth: 24 bit
Advanced Settings
Key Frame every 1 frame - "UN" checked
Optimize stills - "UN" checked
Frame Reordering "UN" checked
Bitrate setting:
Limit data rate to xxxx "UN" checked
Use Maximum Render Quality - "UN" Checked
Use Previews "UN" Checked
Use Frame Blending "CHECKED"

Well, with the Apple H.264 encoder in a QuickTime container, you're a bit limited to the number of things you can tweak to decrease final file size. Using a more advanced H.264 encoder, like the free x264, will give access to many of the more "high-tech" bells and whistles that are part of the H.264 standard. One potential would be to tick the "Key frame every # frame" box and try a few values there, usually at multiples of your frame rate. Key frames are "whole" frames that take up much more space in the final file size, and decrease their frequency might help slightly decrease file size, though it will also affect quality.
Short of changing the dimensions of your destination video, decreasing the frame rate, or changing the bitrate of the video and audio streams, you will eventually reach a limit of how much you can push one parameter or another. You might try using H.264 in the Format (not codec) dropdown; this will give you a bit more control over encoding to an H.264 MP4 file. Unless you specifically need a QuickTime MOV, you might find you get better results with the H.264 MP4.
These are of course just the options in Premiere itself. Once you go outside the castle walls, you can find a whole bunch of other options, though they usually come at a steeper learning curve. The big thing to remember is that there is no free lunch when it comes to encoding; you have to give a bit here to gain there, and it's all about setting thresholds of what you're willing to accept.

Quartz Composer maximum file size for videos?

I'm using the Movie Importer patch and large videos refuse to play. I had no trouble with a 16-minute, 249.6 MB file, but a 7-hour, 534.6 MB file doesn't work. The patch acts like I don't have a file selected at all: it doesn't output an image or a duration value like it's supposed to. I have tried a variety of formats (.mp4, .m4v, .avi) and a variety of frame rates and resolutions. All of my test videos played fine in Quicktime Player (I use Perian, which may explain .avi compatibility... I don't think that's supported natively).
I can't find anything in the docs about file size or duration limits. What am I missing?
Thanks for the help!

That is a pretty small file for being 7 hours long.
Have you tried using interpolation and converting the hours, seconds and frames into all seconds or does that defeat the object of the composition? I have a bunch of movies taken with the same camera and some do not provide a timecode. Has been an issue for me for a while. In X.6.+ even apple created comps cause the finder and QC to crash.

Image Processor quality settings / file sizes

Hello,
I have been searching around and am coming up empty handed, looking to find out how to get large images (fullscreen web slideshow, would like the images to be 1024 pixels wide or bigger), and maintain quality, yet not be over 700K. Here is an amazing example - http://lambertgroupproductions.com/canyon/zoominoutsliderswp/images/opportuneFullScreen/05 _opportune_full.jpg - 2500 pixels wide, looks GREAT, and is 248K. Any idea how this is being done?? I've tried everything with Bridge and PS, and even looked at other programs to help reduce the file size without harming the quality too much. What I'm running into is one of two problems - the file looks great but is way too big, or - the file size is okay, but the jpeg quality is so low, it's very grainy / blurry! Even with fast internet connections now, I'd still rather have the photos look good and not force the users to wait more than a few seconds to get all the photos to load.
Any help is much appreciated!

In Photoshop use the option to Save For Web (Photoshop / File / Save for Web).
Inhere experiment with the settings. I made a sample I set to 2500 pix wide, bicubic sharper, jpeg Low and Quality 10. The saved file only had a size of 450 kb.
I can't show that sample here in 2500 pix because this site only accepts 450 pix wide images to insert but this file here demonstrates a bit more what I mean. I have set this in SFW at 450 pix wide and low jpeg 10. The result is a file of only about 20 kb in size, not suitable for enlargement but just to show you their is still a bit of quality while only 20 kb of file size:
When setting jpeg High and quality 60 in SFW you end up with around 100 kb and a very nice quality. If you want to check the 2500 pixels edition (size of around 450 kb, and looking very good) you have to download it yourself using this link:
http://we.tl/q7UQP0cXeC
(send via We Transfer, a free upload and download service). It will be available until 26 may 2013 before it is automatically deleted from their servers. Or drop me a private message so I can mail it to you personally

Optimizing file size for project (Splitting)

Hi,
I have recently taught myself Captivate 4 and have nearly pieced together all the requirements of a training video. There is no user interactions or quizzes. I am still not sure what is the best method to present the video. I want to publish to our intranet using Flash.
I captured a video using the inbuilt Automatic Recording Mode (so most of the slides are stills with a couple of FMR sldes) This produced a project with 140 slides. I understand after reading topics about file size reduction, you should try and keep projects around 60 slides. Therefore my question is do I cut this project up into three smaller projects (VideoPt1.cp VideoPt2.cp etc) then in the first project set the last slide to open Videopt2.cp and then repeat this for each project. Then publish the first project to flash. (Which is a very tedious task and I am sure there must be a better way to do this)
When I do this and review the output when it gets to the end of the first section, it errors and says cannot find next file.
I checked the adobe help file but does not seem to offer much explanation on the topic. Just two flavours (open file/URL or Project)
Are there better ways of doing this, the Aggregator seems to offer a sort of solution but I dont want a user seeing multiple chapters for what is in effect one chapter.
Cheers exup

Hi there
Please submit a Wish Form to ask for some future version of Captivate to offer such a feature! (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

4gb file size limitation using java.io.* package in java stored procedure

Does anyone know about file size limitations when using java.io.* package inside java stored procedures. I have some java stored procedures that read and write to files. They error out when run as a java stored procedure within oracle on files over 4gb. I have no problems with these procedures when I test them outside of oracle.

I am using 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0, the java version returned by the Oracle JVM is 1.4.2_04
When I tested it outside of oracle I ran it using the java run time in ORACLE_HOME\jdk\bin and it works perfectly on files larger than 4gb.
Thank you for the UTL_FILE suggestion. I have considered using that but there is one method in Java that I can't seem to find a corresponding procedure for in PL/SQL.
RandomAccessFile.setLength()
This allows me to truncate a file. I have a need to strip bytes off the end of a file without creating a copy because I am working with large files and disk space may be limited. It is also much slower to read from the original file and writing the same bytes to a new file (minus the trailing bytes).
If anybody has any insight about the 4gb java.io limitation in Oracle JVM or has a workaround in PL/SQL for the RandomAccessFile.setLength() method in Java, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Thach

YouTube/File Size

I have an 8-minute clip I want to upload to YT, among other sites. At that length, it becomes a rather large file to try to put on YT.
So the question is: If I print to video in Final Cut then recapture that footage, can I beat the File-size sheriff at YT this way?
I've used this trick to get around a YT glitch gremlin that caused some audio issues in the past. But I never thought about file size until my normally 5-minute works grew into an 8-minute piece this go-round.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hi. I am fairly happy with the YouTube results of files I upload to them using H.264 via Compressor. You can easily get under 100MB with your 10 minute video. For longer videos use the preset in Compressor for fast broadband streaming. I generally experiment with a few sets of settings. FWIW you can check out my results at YT by searching "Covita".
As a side note, if I need folks to see a better quality, I send them to my .mac account website, where they can view the videos in Quicktime just as I upload them. Very nice.

Incorrect file sizes in Finder

Was looking at other discussions about file sizes but they didn't seem to reflect the same issue that I'm having. Maybe I misread them.
Since updating to Snow leopard on all my Macs, I noticed that all the files are reflecting about 3-8% more than their actual size. Basically, the Finder is reporting the wrong file sizes. By using a file transfer software like Transmit, the file sizes are reflected correctly. For example, if I download iTunes 9.3, the download file is 93.6MB but the Finder shows 98.2MB. Transmit shows 93.6MB which is correct.
Anyway to fix this annoying issue?

I think the issue has to do with the fact that some programs have not adopted the new method yet. Unfortunately programs like iTunes can be used on on operating systems as far back as Tiger which used the old system. I noticed this several months ago and find it very irritating, especially when trying to do things like burn DVDs/CDs and trying to fill them up as much as possible. The only thing you can do about it is provide feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and hope they fix it in upcoming releases of their software.

Help me about file size!
