One of my customers has an LMS named ELMO and says it only accepts SCORM version 1.2 files under 50Mb in file size.
Some of my courses are around 70Mb and breaking them into smaller courses is a big job.
The courses are mostly software simulations using Record Screen with step-by-step modes (View mode and Test mode) The videos also have a lot of Tex-to-Speech audio.
Are there any simple ways to compress the SCORM file size further?
Thanks!

Yeah, this is a product we created for solving this problem for our clients. But then thought of making it live so that other people can also use it to compress the published SCORM file.
I am delighted that http://doctorelearning.com helped you reduce the size of your elearnings.
Hi, I just used it and it works. But when you have GIFS in your e-learning, it makes just images without animation of it
I was going through this discussion. In case, if some of you face the problem of reducing the published SCORM size further (image, audio, video) so that it can fit the LMS or come to a reasonable size for end user to play , one can make use of http://doctorelearning.com to compress further. This will save the repetitive work of finding media files and compressing manually one by one.
Hi, Is this your site? I just tried it and it worked well. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks Matthew,
I am using Storyline 360 - 3.14
Publishing HTML5 only.
I haven't adjusted any of the quality settings. I will look at doing that.
I have created a RISE course and exported as a SCORM 1.2 file and it is 592Mb in size. It is made up of many videos.
I tried to upload to an LMS and it would not upload - it got to about 10%, would this be because of its size? Is so, how can I reduce this size?
Hi Georgena!
Were you able to upload the zip folder to your LMS? Here are the detailed steps on how to export/import Rise content to an LMS.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
As mentioned I have been trying to upload the SCORM file (592 Mb with a lot of videos) - I thought that was a zipped file.
Hi there, Georgena!
I have seen courses bigger than 592 MB successfully upload to an LMS. I'm with Matthew on checking in with your LMS team about any limits and testing the package in SCORM Cloud, a free LMS testing environment we use.
If you'd like a hand with testing, you can share the output file with us by using this private upload link.
Hey All, Can anyone please tell me if there is a "best practice" file size "limit" for SCORMs? Our IDs are creating some very large <1gb files - which contains LOTS of how to videos, voice overs etc. Breaking into smaller files is not really an option. I know that the larger the file the longer the upload or if end user bandwidth is a problem it could be very slow for the end user. But when end user bandwidth is not an issue - what guidelines could/should be followed re. size? Appreciate any feedback. thanks
We usually save videos on our Sharepoint/Vbrick and then link those in the course to avoid SCORM size issue.
+1 to Christo's question above.
