QT X conversion increases file size

Now this maybe something that all versions of QT did but I never used QT before for converting movies as it took so **** long,I always used Visualhub.
I thought I'd give QT X a try and the speed seems to have improved but it increased the file size to almost double using the iphone optimization.
Space on an iphone/ipod is at a premium and they go and engineer a conversion that doubles the file size.
What is the point of that?
If I do the same conversion using VisualHub the file size stays the same.
Surely apple can do better than that

Here is the reply that I could swear I saw in this thread yesterday. It seems to have disappeared somehow...

LZW compression does not work on 16 bit TIFFs, it was never intended for this format. The TIFF format started out as 8 bit only together with LZW.
Basically all image compression exploits sequences of equal pixels. The chances of two pixels being equal goes to zero when increasing the resolution. After that you only add the overhead of the bookkeeping tables of the compression itself.

Help!..CS4 IS INCREASING FILE SIZES.

Hi all
Wondered if anyone has had a problem with increased files sizes when opening a document up in Photoshop? Anything i open up is increased by two thirds in file size and i've no idea why ( e.g..8MB doc opens as 24MB doc)
What is even more strange is that it won't let me reduce a file size to anything under 1MB.
Has anyone ever come across this problem?...would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Bri

Hey Noel
Fair Play.
This is what is happening.
I’ve got a standard JPEG file that viewed in Explorer and Bridge reads as a 2.70MB (2838,796 bytes) file. Pixel dimensions 797x1000. Document size 6.75 x 8.47cm .Res 300 PPI.
When I open it in CS4 it reads 2.28MB. (This is the first thing I don’t understand)
Either way my simple( so I thought ) objective is to decrease the file size.
In the image size box I have re-set the resolution to 72ppi as I just need to post the image on a Website. My before and after calculations in the image Panel reads (was 2.28MB...now 134.3k)
Great! .this is what I want, However..... when I ‘save as’ and the JPEG compression box appears it has suddenly increased the file to 1.8MB Large file...and only allows me to reduce it to 1.7MB small file.
Admittedly this is not my area of expertise....I’m doing something wrong so any pointers would be much appreciated.

Increase File Size

After converting CR2 Raw files to Jpeg the size of the files is too small. How if possible Can one increase file size in Elements 9? Thanks

Why on earth do you want to have "larger" files?
JPG uses compression to reduce the size of the resulting files. If you're concerned about the picture quality because of JPG's lossy compression method, simply set the JPG "Quality" setting to its maximum.

Converting to DNG without RAW embed increases file size...????

I convert all my Canon CR2 Raw files to DNG. I have recently noticed though that selected folders full of these DNGs are twice the file size of the original CR2. The thing is, I have never embedded the original CR2. My file sizes go from a little over 12M to 25M in the conversion. When testing to try to find the problem, I found that when I do embed the original that file size increases to 30M. If I try to go backwards, selecting a folder that contains the larger-than-normal DNGs, and I try to extract the original CR2, it tells me there is no original to extract. So from everything I can tell, these files are doubling in size for a reason other than the original Raw file being embedded. As far as I can tell, there also is no rhyme or reason to how some folders end up with normal file size DNGs, and others are double the file size....Anyone know?

Reed:
Why don't you use the lossless compression algorithm? Absolutely no data is lost. Not a single bit is changed. The image data is preserved EXACTLY. That is what "lossless" means--there is no loss at all. The "way you see it" is wrong.
The ONLY reason the uncompressed option is available at all is so simple third party utility programs can read the files if their programmers have not written the code to decode the lossess compression agorithm yet. Even this is less of an issue now since Adobe provides the free DNG SDK with source code that does this decoding.

Acrobat 7.0.9: Optimizing PDF increases file size?

Audit Space Usage in the Optimize dialog shows "Color Spaces" ballooning from 0.8 MB to 22 MB when a PDF is optimized (goes from 3% of the file size to 58%). File size increases from 23.8 MB to 35.6 MB.
What exactly is happening, and how can I fix it?
Thanks for any info.

Hey, Jon
Interesting...
Original file (300 dpi CMYK images) 23.8 MB
Images 19 MB
Color Spaces 0.8 MB
Optimize with flattening (72 dpi images, low quality) 68.7 MB
Images 49 MB
Color Spaces 18 MB
Optimize without flattening (72 dpi images, low quality) 68.2 MB
Images 48 MB
Color Spaces 18 MB
Not sure why color spaces are down to 18 MB from 22 MB, I used a preset that I THOUGHT was the same one I used yesterday. Regardless, it's bizarre that both images and color spaces are getting huge when optimized.
I used Create PDF from Multiple Files to bring in a bunch of pages, but I'm reasonably sure that all those files were already flattened before I brought them in.
I'll file that transparency tip for next time though, you never know when it might come up.
Thanks.

BUG: "Save and compact" increases file size by 1KB each time?

Flash CS4
I noticed that when I do "save and compact" on a .fla file, it causes the file size to increase by 1KB each time--even when no changes were made. Can this be fixed?

Yup. It works perfectly in CS3. Now the problem you will have is that you don't have CS3 installed. Even if you will save your files as CS3 format, you cannot (as far as i know) "save and compact" it as CS3, it will prompt that it must be converted from older version CS3 to CS4 and you end up with the same problem. Perhaps there is a setting to force CS4 to save and compact in CS3 version but i doubt it. The only way i know to solve it is save the file as CS3 format (But you will lose some XMP file info metadata, i'm not sure if that is necessary though) then close CS4, and open CS3 then "save and compact" it there. This is definitely a bug where some information might have been duplicated in the file's info or history. If you are lucky an adobe employee might be able to give you a solution to this or just confirm this bug.

"Convert Selection for iPod" Command Increases File Size?

Hello!
I'm trying to convert a file that has the following characteristics (as reported in Quicktime Pro):
Format: H.264 Decoder, 496 x 208, Millions, AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
FPS: 25
Data Size: 572.20 MB
Data Rate: 659.18 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 496 x 208
I know the dimensions are strange, but it's because this is just a test I'm running on a workflow using Hand Brake to bring content back from a DVD (my content).
Now, when I drop just the original file into iTunes and then try to put it on an iPod, it says it can't be played. So I use the handy new option in the Advanced menu, "Convert Selection for iPod." This yields a new file with the following characteristics:
Format: AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, H.264 Decoder, 640 x 268, Millions
FPS: 25
Data Size: 1.36GB
Data Rate: 1609.01 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 640 x 268
How is it that the data rate and file size have increased so much? It now plays on an iPod, but why? I was under the impression that usually the problem with getting video to play on an iPod was a data rate that is too high. So it seems strange to me that the second file works and the first doesn't.
Finally, what is the difference between a file with the extension .mov and the extension .m4v? The original file has .mov and the converted ends up with .m4v. But they have the same characteristics in terms of codec. So what's the difference?
Thanks for any help and info!
Cameron

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

PDF annotation(comments) in acrobat increase file size rather than reader

Hi,
When I annotating(comments) files in Acrobat Professional(7 or 9) will increase the file size where as if I open the same file in adobe reader I can easily edit the page within short times,Please suggest what is the mechanism used in Acrobat.
Regards,
MohamedFaisal.

Hi MohamedFaisal,
I am not sure, if i understood you correctly. The file size grows big in Acrobat and when the same file is opened in Reader the size is less?
Also, please help us with the details mentioned below
1) Exact version of Acrobat being used
2) Exact version of Adobe Reader being used
3) Size difference, when opened in Acrobat Vs When opened in Reader.
4) How was the file Created.
Thanks,

Adding Bates numbers to PDFs increases file size by 10x - How to keep original size?

I have a lot of email texts that I converted from Word to PDF and then Bates numbered.
However, Bates numbering made each email's file size go from about 50kb to 500kb.
Once I combine these larger files for uploading to a docket, at the maximum allowable file size is 4 Mb, I can put together only 8-10 emails at a time. What to do to keep the original file size small when Bates numbering?

Hi paulu40695891,
Yes, there is a significant increase in the file size when one applies bates numbering to the pdf and saves it.
A workaround for this issue would be to save the pdf file again as reduced size pdf. (File -> Save as other -> Reduced Size PDF. )
Does that helps with your issue? Please revert back for any further query or assistance.
Regards,
Rahul

PDF Optimizer decreases resolution, increases file size

I've noticed that the file size of my PDF files INCREASES now when I optimize them now that I've updated to version 7.0.7. The image resolution still decreases but the files increase significantly. For example, I have a 2 page document that originally was 3.2mb as a hi-resolution PDF. After I optimized it down to 72dpi for the images the file increased to 20.5mb!! I use this feature for documents that we publish on our web sites or to send a proof to a customer.
Is this just a new bug in version 7.0.7?

MAC G5, 1 gb RAM, OS 10.4
Indesign CS3
Acrobat version : at least 7.0.6 or newer (I'm not at work to verify the version)
I'm having the same problem. Doing a SAVE AS does not fix anything.
I have created a High Res PDF of a 56 page catalogue using Indesign CS3. I had to divide the document into two sections. The first file is 131 megs and the other 78 megs. I have to print high res for the client. Then I need to downsize the resolution so that I can send the catalogue to the client. Whether I choose PDF Optimizer or Reduce file..., the 131 megs PDF became 1.27 GB and not to mention the time wasted! This is enormous! I assure you that I have checked all settings for the PDF.
To counter the problem, I have to do a SAVE AS POSCRIPT file. Then I reduce the size using Acrobat Distiller. The 131 megs file then became 21 megs, which is what it should have been with Optimizer.
I don't understand what's happening with the Optimizer? It seems that there's an update version that has installed this bug. Which one? How to fix this problem? Is there anyone on this earth that knows what to do?

Air 3.9 for iOS - Increased file size of the executable?

Hi,
I've just exported a new release of my app with the new Air 3.9 SDK.
I've discovered that the file size of the .ipa is increased of 9MB (before it was 30, now it's 39...)
Looking into the Payload, I've found that the exutable itself is increased from 7 MB to 30 MB...
Is that possibile? Or am I doing something wrong?
I'm on FLEX SDK,
This is the adt command line (part of it):
adt
    -package
    -target
    ipa-app-store
    -hideAneLibSymbols
    yes
    -storetype
    pkcs12
This is the compiler arguments:
-target-player=11.9
+configname=airmobile
-library-path+="{flexSDK}/frameworks/locale/en_US"
-default-size=550,400
-locale=en_US,fr_FR,it_IT -source-path=locale/{locale}
-swf-version=22 -allow-source-path-overlap=true
-optimize=true
Thanks
Andrea

I would like to add that, packaging in -XVerbose mode, I found that some frameworks have been added to the package like MapKit. I'm using some ANEs, but none of them uses a MapKit framework.
Anyone know which are the frameworks actually being embedded inside the iOS packaging?
Thanks

HD down conversion/HD file sizes

I just have a few quick questions on working with HD, as this is my first time.
First, if I am shooting in HD, but my final output will be SD, where does the down-conversion happen? Can I simply capture in SD, even though the footage is HD, or do I have to capture and edit in HD, and then down convert when I export the project to Compressor?
Also, one quick question about HD file sizes- I have found that SD DV footage file sizes are roughly 4.5 minutes per GB, using the DVNTSC capture codec. I expected HD files to be much larger, but after capturing roughly 4 minutes of video, the files were less than 1 GB. The files were definitely 1920x1080, and I captured using the Sony HDV codec 1080i60. Could I possibly be doing something wrong or is that how it is? I was sure HD files would be huge.

You need to be specific about what format of HD you are talking about here. There are MANY flavors. Uncompressed 10-bit, uncompressed 8-bit...both in 1080 and 720p options, then there is DVCPRO HD, XDCAM, HDV...but going by your last post I assume you mean HDV, the lowest form of HD.
HDV has about the same file sizes as DV (yet 3 times the area...thus it is HIGHLY compressed)..about 13GB per hour. DVCPRO HD 720p24 is about 24GB per hour, 1080p around 54GB per hour. Uncompressed...lots more. But HDV is about the same as DV...file size wise.
Your final output will be what format of SD. Again...there are many. Digibeta, betaSP, DV. If your final output will be DV, then it would be advisable to capture the footage as DV. Other wise you will edit in HD and need to downconvert when you are done. Either a capture card (matrox MXO is good for HDV) or by dropping the footage into a DV timeline and rendering or via Compressor. But it would be easier to edit DV to begin with if you are outputting DV.

Delete group increase file size

In LabVIEW I create a TDMS file using DAQmx Configure Logging. Since my users want to control when data is being written to the file, I make use of the Loggingause property. Very often two groups of data are created in the TDMS file; one containing a few points (less than 20) and one containing the desired data (10000+ points). In DIAdem, if I delete the small group and save the file with a different file name, the new file size increases about 4 times in size. Why does this happen? I would expect the file size in reduce by a small amount, but definitely not increase in size. I'm using LV 2012 SP1 and DIAdem 2011.

When using DAQmx Configure Logging to write data to TDMS files, the data is "raw data" directly from DAQ device, TDMS file format is specially desgined for this case to store the "raw data" so that the file size is smaller and the performance can be improved. When using DIAdem to delete some data and save the file, the new saved TDMS file actually stores normal data instead of the "raw data" so that the file size can be much larger than before.

Increase file size li

I think creative should increase the file size limit on the zen xtra (and possibly other zen's).
I have 5GB free space and receive an error message when I try to back up a 2GB file in Nomad Explorer!
It would be better for creative players to support USB Mass Storage device protocol and so drivers are not required and the hard dri've can be used to the best of its ability! Even with the lond awaited firmware update, the creative zen xtra/touch will only be compatiable with transfering media files in windows media player.
If creative can support MTP why not mass storage as well? The protocols do not conflict with each other as MTP was built upon the USB mass storage specification!

Just use a file splitter. I can't imagine many people are going to be trying to save files over 2Gb, and the primary use of the player is for music.
