It all depends on the files your compressing. Think of it this way, a DVD movie is around the same size, yet turning it into a DivX compressed movie of the same quality you get the same amount of compression. If a file is in a raw uncompressed format, and there are possible methods to reduce that media either by removing bits from it, or setting up colour/sound lines.. then your going to see a huge amount of compression.

I didnt explain that amazingly well. But I hope you get the jist.

imagine 5000 1s in a row. huge amount of data 5000 digits. now instead of 5000x writing 1 write 5000x1. only 7 digits.


jesus christ was a gangsta rapper. they killed him. he came back and made a platinum album.

winrar allows you to split files into whatever sizes you want. it also has presets for cd sizes. so what you can do in case you cant compress the whole thing to one cd is compress it to multiple cd sized files, burn em and then bring em to your buddy's house.
