Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 116481
Unused videos in file
Last modified: 2011-01-17 09:48:23 UTC
Having tried to embed a couple of videos with the use of either Insert>Object>Video or Insert>Movie and sound did not produce the expected result. Thus, having removed the objects created I pasted a start image and set an interection of running the video by a external player. As all was well I left it as it was. To the point now. After all the experimenting I ended up with a file weighing almost 150 mb. I discovered that only because I wanted to send it somewhere. I though, maybe the videos I linked have been stored in the file itself so I made a duplicate and removed all the links. Well that did not work. However, having opened the file with an archive manager the videos I tired to emebed appeared to be saved in the media folder.I thought " I'll remove them then." but it did not work as I could not open the file after deziping removing and ziping and renaming it again. In the end I just copied all of the prepared slides and changed the interaction paths to the proper ones. And guess what - the presentation file wheighed 5.5 mb. I do not know where this is a bug or just a feature request so I'll write what I would expect : Either autmoatic media removal when it is not being used in any of the slides or (which in my opinion is a better option) a manual tool for removing those media files. Mind you I tried using presentation minimizer but it did not help prevent movies from saving in the file.
