File size stays the same after deleting selected tracks

Issue #649 closed
Urahara created an issue

Hi Damiano,

I have just started to use the Subler. Thank you very much for the software you bilt.

It seems a software which I was looking for to arrange the multiple tracks (languages) in the video file. Unfortunately, there is an issue which I have encountered.

Issue: Selecting a sound track in a .mp4 video file, and then removing it by pressing “Delete the selected track”, and then saving the file, doesn't reduce the size of the file. File size stays the same.

Expected behaviour: removing a track from the file should reduce the size of the file

Please let me know if I can profile you more details.

Regards,

Urahara

    Removing the data requires the whole file to be rewritten. There is already a way to do so, the “optimise” function.
