Why is this package so large compared to Ubuntu's

Comment:

I originally thought that this package was supposed to be so large, but Ubuntu's is roughly 10x smaller

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-media-driver

From my system installation:

-rw-r--r--   1 root root  15M Sep 27 10:23 iHD_drv_video.so

vs this package at roughly 450MB (after extraction).

@conda-forge/help-c-cpp if you have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

cc: @ehfd in case you are interested in improving video decoding for intel processors.

Likely something with compiler flags, but unsure. My investigation can only be done in some time.

isuru hints at stripping the debug info: conda-forge/ffmpeg-feedstock#279 (comment)

@conda-forge-admin please rerender

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-webservice.

I just wanted to let you know that I started rerendering the recipe in #2.
