Captivate 7 files publishing three times their size

We have some pretty large captivate files that we publish. Typically our courses cptx files range from 100 - 200 MB and they publish right in that range. This has never been a problem until recently. I published one course a couple of days ago and it was right about 200 MB. But then today I tried publishing it again and it now publishes at 650 MB! The cptx file is 230 MB. I don't have any unused items in the library. And I get that saving as swf vs both swf and html5 can make it smaller, but we need both.

All that aside, is there any particular reason you are aware of regarding why our 230 mb file zips up during publishing and is three times its original size?

Thanks in advance,

Arthur Lee

    Do you publish to both HTML and SWF?

    Yes. I know that increases the size significantly, but as a business I am not sure how to get around it. We have customers with employees who take the courses on ipads.

    Yes, HTML will play on any device and desktop/laptop. To avoid too big

    files, I tend to publish only to HTML, take into account what will not be

    functional

    .


    One last question: if publishing to HTML5 only will still allow the course to play on PCs in addition to iPads, why publish to SWF at all? Is there a distinct advantage to publishing SWF over HTML5?
