Distribution of Multimedia Card
This card given you an inside information on how your entire zip file is distributed against various media types like
- Text : Textual files, which could be like configuration files or javascript, css files etc. Ideally they are not supposed to be changed, and it has a very high likelihood of making your file non functional.
- Image : All the png, jpg, icon etc in your projects
- Audio : All mp3, wav etc
- Video : All the mp4, mpg etc
How to make use of the distribution ?
Distribution allows you to set expectation on what kind of compression you can expect. Here are some of the take aways
- If you have high text %, its kind of a bad news and you may not be able to reduce your file much
- If you have high Video %, its a great new as you can use compression in DoctorElearning to reduce it heavily
- Audio depending on characteristic can also be highly compressed
- Images can also be compressed nicely, if they are unoptimized
