  Movie Size Question

  Posted by Nicholas Bierzonski on June 19, 2006 at 1:47 pm

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why Cleaner 6.5 is doing the following. I cropped a 700 x186 movie at the top and bottom and converted it to a Windows Media File. Its final size is 9 MB.
  I cropped another movie from 700 x 186 to 156 x 156. I converted this smaller movie to a Windows Media File but this small movie is also 9 MB. How can this be since it is soooo much smaller when played or viewed? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  Not enough info. Were *all* the settings the same except the dimensions? You have settings for total file size, total
  bit-rate, etc. For example, you can select a setting that says the total size of the file is 9MB. Regardless of the pixel
  dimensions, your final file will be 9MB. Is it possible you had it set like that?

  Yep you hit the nail on the head. It was set to create a total movie size of 9 MB. Thanks for you help.
