Support / Increased screenshot file sizes (jpeg) when using automatic screenshot maker
« on: February 16, 2014, 07:00:57 pm »
I was recently wondering why my database size has ballooned and I had a feeling it had to to with screenshot file sizes (integrated). So I did an experiment with a new database where the screenshots are stored in a folder. Here is what I did:
- Created new database and added a movie
- Preferences -> save screenshots in folder
- Used AUTOMATIC screenshot maker in PVD to create 20 screenshots (1280x720 resolution) -> screenshots ranged from 1,000kb to 1,300kb !!!
- Used MANUAL screenshot maker in PVD and the 20 screenshots ranged from 120kb to 150kb in size...
- updated ffmpeg file from sourceforge and still same problem
How is this possible? It seems to be PVD related and not ffmepg as far as I can tell.
