File size is too large for 100 frame sequence

[stab2000 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a 100 frame JPG sequence set at 800x600 resolution. The problem is, the cast size of these frames alone is 180+MB when all are selected and viewed using the property inspector (the actual file size of all the JPGs on disk is only around 10MB). I understand that Director turns all the images into bitmap anyway, but is there a way that I can reduce the file size and memory load of this sequence?

your stuck with the memory load, although converting to 16 bit halfs the
ram requirement.

will need to do preloads and unloads to manage available ram.

you can shockwave compress director files that are used with projetors,
this will utilize jpeg compression.

You can also change the member's compression to .jpg so projectors will also
use it...

Shockwave compression greatly reduces the file size. The projector is now only about 23MB. Still, when I open the projector it takes a while to load to my memory. I know it's not the computer. When you run a projector that was made with shockwave compression, does this uncompresswhen you run it?
