Support / Re: Increased screenshot file sizes (jpeg) when using automatic screenshot maker

« on: February 27, 2014, 03:10:25 am »

This has nothing to do with actual db size. If you follow the steps, I created a database, where the screenshots are stored in a seperate folder. This is how I was able to determine the reason for my other databases size balooning after adding screenshots. And yes, that one I did optimize.
This issue is somehow linked to how screenshots are created. I don't understand how the same exe file (ffmpeg) can create such differently sized files when either started manually or run in batchmode via pvd...

Support / Increased screenshot file sizes (jpeg) when using automatic screenshot maker

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.

Another user posted a thread on this forum with seemingly the same problem: http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,3874.0.html

Any update on this?

Don't worry about size as long as you have a fast harddrive. over 9000 movies/clips, 71GB database size. Works totally fine.

Talk / PVD equivalent for pictures?

Does anyone know if there is a similar database program for pictures with a powerful search function as PVD?
I took a look at ACDSee pro 6 but their search is quite limited as you can't exclude keywords for example.

I think I found a rather peculiar change (bug?). In the preferences I set it to make 20 screenshot and take one as a poster. Well I guess that is now literally. I get 19 screenshots and the 20th is the poster. Intentional?
It is easy to work around by simply setting it to 21 screenshots so that you get one poster and 20 screenshots, but it was different in the previous version.
