What is your PVD file size?

<< < (2/3) > >>

abubin:
I just spend the last few days using copy/paste to separate out the images into separate folder. Now my DB is only over 80mb only. However I have a different set of problem. The image folder size is now 4.33gb. Problem is the size on disk is 8.63gb. This is because there are a lot of files in it due to screenshots. I am sorry but I am not feeling nice wasting over 4gb of space. File system is exFAT. Not sure what to make of it now.

Morgenstern72:
May I ask how many movies you manage with PVD?

My DB is 56MB (!!) and I manage about 550 movies. That's 114 (8-hour) days to watch movies. Every year I add the best 15-20 movies and that's it. But how can you get t 10GB DB files? Do you store huge amounts of screenshots?

Just curious if I really understand how PVD works and if I can use more of it's potential.

It is simply.
In my case, my experience with the size of the database somehow two years back is the following:

Database:  360mb

Movie:
visible:  575 movies 

for each movie according to 1 - 5 (large or small) of the poster image,
one front and disc cover image (300 - 350 movies),
1 - 6 large or 1 - 10 small screenshots image (400 - 450 movies)
and much other information.

invisible:  about 55000 movies

People:

visible:  2400 people
invisible:  about 23500 people

about 1200 people with 1 - 3 photo

When I removed all fronts, disc cover and screenshots image for each movie, however, there's only one poster image. I also removed all the invisible films, all visible people who have now become invisible people and some unnecessary information, the database sized between 50 and 120 mb.

Now I have several database specifically:

People:

visible:  2400 people
database:  110 - 120mb with 1 - 3 photo

Movie:

visible:  575 movies with one poster
4 - 6 database:  50 - 60mb  (removed are still some different and unnecessary information)

Movie:
Basic database

visible:  575 movies with no posters
4 - 6 database:  8 - 10mb
[removed as well as movie posters, all the people information and some other information, others are only necessary information about the movie (attached images)]

Summary:

Over the data and the greater the number of different images in the database, the greater the size of database.

abubin:
I have 3177 movies. That is collection of over 10 years. I migrated from other movie database software before settling on videodb. Only 40% of the movies have screenshots. I store 30 screenshots per movie. Added with 1 cover for each movies, that's a lot of files.

Morgenstern72:
Thx for letting me know :)

I do not store screenshot, that seems to be a big difference.
