Interesting. I don't know. That's really huge, actually. I don't think I've ever had one over about 60 or so megs, but containing ALOT of stuff. Tge only thing I can figure is that you might have had some duplicate items in there, but I imagine you checked for that. Anyhow, I wouldn't think it would be that large even if you had two of everything. I think the ship you're talking about is only 2 MB's as a .vob. Very strange. Maybe it's the roses? How many, and what file format were they before import? You could narrow it down I bet by opening the scene and selecting, say, all the rose objects, deleting them and saving again and comparing file size..etc., etc.
