Well, I've got a folder of jpgs that is 18 megs. Once I import into an
external cast, the damn thing bloats to 203 megs - what the hell? I don't
recall ever having a problem like this before?
It's an old and known thing. When Director imports JPEGs it stores them internally as uncompressed bitmaps. If you shock the cast it'll recompress.
