why did the size of my media files double?
I noticed Wenesday that my 1TB C; drive was almost 80% full. I went out and purchased a new 2TB external drive.
Apple support had me copy+paste the music, TV shows, and Movies folders to the new G: drive. When I was done, my C: drive had 781GB free. Yea! However, my new 2TB external drive was practically full.
Any idea why the space needed to store the files basically doubled? Apple Support patiently worked through this for quite awhile, but the issue was beyond installation help.
I'm going to do a clean install -- just waiting for an answer to man earlier post to make sure I don't screw it up. This question is really more academic -- I'd like to try and understand what happened. If you've any thoughts, I'd like to hear them. This was just to weird for me NOT to ask about.
