Zip file is still too big

After I zipped a lots of photos in one file, it showed the original was 30.5 MB, the zipped file shows it at 30.4 MB.
Shouldn't the zipped file be significantly less than the original file?

As has been mentioned, JPEGs are already compressed and attempting
to compress them again will not achieve anything. I have seen cases
where attempting to compress compressed files actually creates a zip
file that is bigger than the original contents.
You are stuck with what you have. Why not copy them off to DVD if
you are trying to recover some disk space?

Hi Bill,
It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

Hi,
When you have the browser open (Internet Explorer) then press the Alt key on the keyboard. It should show you the file options at the top..Then uncheck work offline and check..
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Try force-closing Mail: double-tap the home button, locate Mail in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, finish by tapping the home button. Then go the you email provider's webmail site (such as iCloud.com for @me.com mail), log into your account and delete any emails you find in your Drafts folder. Then open Mail again and see if it stopped trying to send.

IMovie still too big

I thought I had solved my problem by splitting the movie in part 1 and part 2.
I took the first part (after I cleared the rest of the movie) and tried to SHARE it with iDVD,
But I still get the message that it is too long for a DVD.
This first part is now only 1 hr 10 minutes.
Can anyone give me more help, please.

Project info choices are: Best Perf, High quality, Prof. qual. I picked Best Performance,
Part 1 of my iMovie is 83 minutes and 4.59GB
Using iMovie HD 6.0.3
When I use SHARE I am still informed that project is too big when I attempt to burn it.
When I close iMovie and go thru iDVD and try to bring it in then my iMovie is greyed out
My iMovie has an icon with the black star inside - that is what I'm to use, right?
I must be doing something wrong! Any more ideas?
Thanks for all your help so far.
Got to get this movie off my HD - it's taking up too much room! Only have 25GB open, could that be related to my problem?

File to Youtube too big?

I use FCP but decided to use iMovie for a quick youtube. The 6 min piece was 1.2GB but there's no place in iMovie to change compression? As a result it's been processing on Youtube side for 4 hours so far. Can I change the size of a file in iMovie or should I do it elsewhere?

is it too big to share over the 3g or 4g network? Is that why you suggested to try sending it when I'm connected to wireless instead?
It's on the charger (again-lol!) I'll try to connect to our wireless here at home later tonight or tomorrow and give it another try

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,

FLA file is way too big, please help.

My FLA file is at 103.9 MB in size! The SWF is only 160 KB. I can't seem to find out what is causing this, but if
someone knows, then please tell me.
I made a small sample of a turret simulation (100 lines of code including whitespace). Included in the library I have
a small (under 40x40) tower, bullet, and monster that were made in Flash. I have a background that is the size of
the app (640x480), one color, also made in Flash. And then I have 3 sounds. 2 are 1 sec or less, and are in mp3
and wav format (12 KB and 4 KB). And then I have a final MP3 that is 1.2 MB for the background music.
Well, I figured it might be the big MP3, so I ditched it. No change in file size! I checked my library for extra files,
but there is nothing. Anyone have a suggestion?
For the record I am running Flash CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5
Thanks for any help you can provide.

First, try using Save and Compact. This eliminates the historical information from the file. If you added and deleted content, Flash still likes to hang on to the memories of it, so using Save and Compact is a brainwashing process.
If you don't realize much in the way of savings doing that, you may want to try recreating the file via copying the timeline into a new file.
Also, if you have unused stuff in the library, getting rid of it will trim the file size down as well.
While the swf file will normally reflect the fileweight of the content you have in it, the fla will always be larger than life, but the 103 MB is larger than that, so you are likely just carrying alot of excess baggage.

My DVD Stduio Pro File is waay too big

Hi all,
I have imported a bunch (1 hour and 40 minutes worth) of .m2v and .aiff files into DVD Studio Pro. In the space cache in DVD Studio Pro it says I have 6.4 gigs of material. Is there any way to compress my files in the exporting process of building a DVD to make it under 4.7 gigs of material for a DVD burn?
I am a bit new to DVD STdudio Pro - Sorry if this this is a repost.
Thanks in advance for any help

You need to do this earlier than at this DVD Studio Pro stage, i.e. when you earlier created the .m2v files - you needed to specify a lower bit rate in Compressor, or in whatever application you used to create those .m2v files.
Also - I suggest you convert/compress your audio from .aiff to .ac3 format. That will help a lot too.

Files that are too big

I have a laptop, and I am working on a flash file that is getting really big and is starting to mess up. If I work off a 2tb external drive will that make working on the file easier?

I doubt that the storage capacity of a drive is going to matter. Chances are that your laptop is not the ideal candidate for working on a large Flash file.

Exported file size is too big?

Ok, this is what has been happening:
I input a 600kb .jpeg image into photoshop touch.
I do nothing to it except to change its transparency from 100% to 75%.
I then export the resulting image to the gallery, as either a .png or as a .jpg.
For some reason, the resulting .png is suddenly 3.6mb, and if export as a .jpg instead it is 1.6mb.
I am not sure if this is a normal effect for photoshop programs, however as the image resolution is the same, I dont see why the file size is increasing by so much. At the very least, there should be an option for controlling the compression of outputted files?

The photo was taken with a GoPro 3. Exported to Camera Roll as JPG.
What I did notice was that when I used Filterstorm Neue, at 100% JPG quality, it also spat out a 25.5MB file. Changing this to 98% yielded 7.5MB. My guess is that Photogene4 automatically selects a JPG quality that matches the original size? I certainly can't tell the difference in 2% quality that's for sure... It's nice to have the option in Filterstorm Neue.
Working on these 3840x2880 files in Photoshop Touch is awful - the images appear grainy and it's slow to use. Pixelmator and others have no problems using layers and working on these size images.

QT file for website too big...

Trying to get a QT file, 5min long, one "episode" of a family film I'm cutting to producer's website and can't get it under 42MB, settings are 20fps, 320x240, jerky motion with this frame rate, would prefer 30fps but that goes to 59MB. Any suggestions as to how to make it at least under 30MB?

video is just under 5 min.Whatever codec, display size, and frame rate you choose to use, your total data rate (Audio + Video) will be limited to about 768 Kbps if you want to fit a 5 minute clip into a 30 MB file.

Too big a file for server

I've got a .wav file that's too big to email.
Is there a way to reduce the file so that I can email it?

Control-click it in the Finder, compress or archive it, and email the resulting zip. If it's still too large, use a service such as this one or an IM service to send it.

Flv files too big?

i have three video files on my website. each is 1 minute long
and each is just under 5 megs big. is this an acceptable size for
the videos or are they still too big and require further
compression? what is considered acceptable? i am finding that when
they play they play fine (streaming from my website) however they
are not reliable in actually starting. sometimes it takes 2 or 3
clicks before they start to stream. i am not sure why this is
happening. i thought it could be related to the file size
thanks !

I don't understand why so much detail on my process is needed. It's just a file conversion to view a movie I downloaded. I do have FCE and work in it, but not in this case. It just seemed that most Streamclip discussions were in this thread area, so I came here. Anyway, thank you. I will try what you suggest, but I do think it's a useful feature for these programs to clearly show, when possible, final converted file sizes based on what parameters have been chosen. For example, the newest Quicktime photo conversion window features a slider that allows you to SELECT the file size for .jpg. I always needed something like this and was delighted to see it appear in the new version. It's the great thing about Apple - user-friendliness.

Zip file is still too big
