Bug ID: 457451
Summary: Automatic transcoding of video files result in huge
files
Product: kdenlive
Version: 22.04.3
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: Video Display & Export
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: marcwalling...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add .mp4 video clips from any smartphone
2. Kdenlive will force you to transcode them, select highest quality (losless)
transcoding
3. Kdenlive will create huge files for each clip
OBSERVED RESULT
Kdenlive forces the transcofing of .mp4 smarpthone videos (maybe other types of
videos too, I've not tested other formats). Because you most likely want to
work with the best possible quality, Kdenlive will generate really huge files.
>From a project of mine, I went from 4.5GB raw material to 90GB, this is not
manageable.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kdenlive shouldn't force you to transcode anything, like it did in previous
versions. Furthermore, if possible, the transcoding process shouldn't really
generate a bigger file than the raw source material, where is that extra data
coming from?
