my friend has a lot of film clips on his pc he wants to know how to compress them so he can get them all on dvd which woulld be the best programmefor this i thank you in advanceCan anyone please give me advice on how to compress files so i can get more on a disc?
WinZIP or WinRAR will both compress files to a smaller size, but if they are AVI files they are already comressed so you will see only a very small reduction after that.





Can he not simply split into 2 sets and burn 2 DVDs ?Can anyone please give me advice on how to compress files so i can get more on a disc?
I find WinRAR is the best for file compression, but as mentioned before, these will be unplayable until unzipped again.
If he wants to make a DVD that is playable on a DVD player then there is nothing he can do. DVD is a specific format. Compressing the source won't help as it will still end up in the same DVD format.
One way is to use winzip and zip them all up
