ADB Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I made an 8 second Timelapse sequence made from about 200 images of the clouds forming over a mountain over a couple of hours with a shot being taken every 10 secs.All images were scaled down to 720 pixels in width to fit the standard DVD format.I then went into PTE and made an exe show displaying each image for 40ms (this gave me 25 frames per second - the same as PAL DVD film rate)The result was an 8 sec smooth Timelapse of clouds scurrying over a mountain top.Now this is the part I can't understand.My PTE exe file is about 8MB which is the around the same size as all the images put together.But when I made an uncompressed AVI file in a Video Editor the resulting size was 222 MB!!! How can a video file be bigger than the total of the images being used in the video? especially when one image is one frame.Any ideas as to why this happens?
