Unexplained increase in file size


Guest JonA

Recommended Posts

I edited a wav file of some recorded discussion (approx 41,500KB). When I saved the edited file as a new doc it was almost 5 times the size of the original (209,000KB). Any suggestion as to what's going on here? As far as I know, I used the same (standard) settings for saving both files, and the details shown in 'Properties' for each file is the same, other than the size. Thanks for any suggestins.

I too had this problem. I trimmed 2 minutes off the end of my MP3 and my file size went from its original 25MB to 178MB. Not a good "feature."

:unsure:

Did you use Save As or Save?

 

I have also been having this problem... when it happens I'm using the "save as" feature and save as a PCM file... which works perfectly most of the time... just every now something goes wrong.
