Copied video file larger than original
As far as I understand files that are being copied should remain the same "size" while "size on disk" may change.
I have copied a video from one external NTFS disk to another, that was around 20gb and the copied video was 4mb larger than the original. I am able to play both of the videos without a problem. Why is the copied file larger if it is supposed to be the same file as the original? |
