avi movies are crazy big on Windows
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
AVI movie files are crazy big on Windows. I just ran the following test:
Linux, 4.1.0, local server, full screen.
Open Can.exo. Paint by ACCL. Timestep 1. Rescale to data range. Color editor, Log scale.
Save Animation. avi.
Size was about 3.2 MBtyes.
Windows 7, 4.1.0, local server, full screen. (Screen size is the same.) Repeat test above. Size was 20.9 MBytes.
Question - Why is Windows 7 or 8 times bigger? Are we missing something?
