David Porter Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 In 7.5 the file size of an .exe file produced from the slide list was noted on the status bar but alas no more. I am working with a lot of video and would like to keep the .exe file size under control as I go along. Is there a way of find this out without creating the .exe file every time?

Lin Evans Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi Mick,There is no accurate way to predict the exe file size because of the inclusion of video, whether or not multiple mp3 files are concatenated into a single file, etc. You can do only rough estimates but even this will probably not be close enough to be of significant value. Essentially, if you add up the combined file sizes of your video{s) and each jpg compressed image and mp3 file then add about 1.5 meg for the basic exe code itself, you will be about as close as you will be able to get. The feature was removed from PTE because it could no longer be really accurate once these new features became available.Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
