Smaller picture size but larger file.

[partharora]

Hi,

I started using the QMC just today and the first file I converted actually went from a larger picture size to a smaller one but the file size increased by almost 35%... while I actually wanted to reduce the file size so I could load it on to my media player.

The file info is given below:

Hello and thank you for your message,

Please give us some information on what you tried to do and how you did it ?

Did you Use simple mode to resize the divx to wmv compativle in easy mode if it still doesnt reduce the size play with the video bitrate in expert mode.

What mode did you use : expert or easy ?
If in expert what settings used ?
if in Easmode y what icon and submenu.?
Once we receive this information from you We will then try to work on a solution from there .

Avi format using mpeg4 codec uses a bit more space than divx codec..

Thank you for your reply.

Your original file has MP3 audio (compressed) - your output file has PCM (uncompressed) - the increase is in the audio part of the file. Try (in expert mode) changing the output to 64K Mp3 (more than adequate for mobile use) and the file size will drop dramatically.
