Why does 14MB movie take 800MB of space on iPhone

I noticed that when I select or deselect adding a 14MB video, the amount of free space changes by about 800MB. No more things are selected (apps, music, photos, etc.), just this one video. Here's a photo to prove it: http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1074/w8ul.jpg
So, how's that 14MB video takes 800MB of space?

No, it's a 14MB .mp4 file.
Also, I just remembered that the same thing happened when I selected "replace contacts with contacts from the computer", the change was about 500MB...
BTW, I'm using Mac OS X Mavericks.

  • Basic Question: why does exporting Movie take so long?

    I import an hour long H264 640x480 movie into imovie. It takes about eight minutes.
    I then add a few chapter markers. That's all I need to do.
    Then I export as a large movie, also H264. It takes four hours.
    So why does it take so long, as it is the same format? Is it just because the size is a a little different? Is there any way to export the movie at the same size as it was originally? Then would it export more quickly?
    Thanks.

    … What is a res?
    I assumed that imovie did support h264, as up to now it has been exporting all my movies as h264 by default.
    ooops, sorry: res=resolution
    iM is meant for Camcorder imports - those trigger the import routines: .dv gets 'cloned' into Events, HDef gets converted into the AppleIntermediateCodec ... which offers the two (three) standards 1920x1080, (1440x1080/anamorph for HDV/'HDef on tape' sources) and 1280x720 ...
    The EXPORT codec h.264 isn't meant for editing, but optimized for playback and file-size.
    technically, a AVCHD/mts IS h.264
    but to avoid technical probs, Apple prefers to transode into intermediates, aic.mov for consumer editor, proRes for FCPX ....
    there's playback-codecs and edit-codecs ... for instance, playback-codecs (mp2, h264, Sorenson, VP6 etc) do not store every frame ( ! ) to reduce file-size; now, you like to edit with frame precision ... what shall happen?
    an edit-codec contains any solid frame ... = file-size mucho bigger ...

  • HT1600 Why does a movie on my computer take an hour to download to AppleTV?

    Why does a movie on my computer take an hour and more to download to AppleTV?

    You keep changing the subject without closure, however if you did enter the correct password and it wasn't accepted, it was most likely the result of a networking issue with your network and nothing to do with whether or not the Apple TV is intuitive or not.
    I found some movies that I purchased were still on the "cloud".
    Yes, that's how it is supposed to work, movies purchased from the iTunes Store are always available through the 'Movie' feature.

  • Why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have  by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why does apple tv take hours to record

    Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?

    Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
    If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.
    720P requires 6mbps for instant streaming
    1080P requires 8mbps
    You can switch to SD in the settings
    To check your connection go to speedtest.net

  • Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
    You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

    Why does every movie I download stop half way and say err=-50/err-39? I also have internet connection that is really good and it keeps saying to check that

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • Why does the keyboard take over and type c's all across the search box (no hands involved)?

    Why does the keyboard take over and type c's across the search box (no hands involved)?

    There are only three possibilities. Either a dangling hand hitting the c key, or if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected and something is pressing a key, or you have some bad harware.  Eliminate the first two, and if you still have the problem, take it in for service or replacement

  • Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

    Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
    Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
    Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

    You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
    If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
    Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
    If on a computer:
    I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.
