Extreme Compression

[Zonda11]

I need to compress a 724MB file to 700MB....I have found games before that have been compressed a huge amount and I need to know how they do this.....any help would be appreciated.

Compressed file size is related to the type of data being compressed.

If it is an mpeg, then it is already compressed and you may not get very much more compression.

Feeding the video file though a compressing codec will reduce file size, but not just a simple zipper applicaiton.

Or, with winrar/winace make an archive and split it in multiple parts.

....That's what i do :wink:

That's the best way... split it with the Wizard.... i only learnt this a while back :lol:

i think i might too... they have come down to just £50 for an 8x... but for £60 you can get a better burner at 8x that can handle all media (+/-R etc) :D
