best compression software?
can someone tell me what the best compression type is... i need to compress a 718mb video so that it will fit onto a 700Mb CD! ive tried Winrar but it only compresses it to about 704mb
any ideas? |

What kind of video is it ? If it's VCD or SVCD compliant MPEG then it will fit nicely on your CD.

I see. Well then it won't fit on that CD.
You can try WinAce to see if you can get the file size as low as 700 MB. If not, I'd either overburn (but enable simulation before burning, as it has to be tested if an overburn of 4 MB is possible) or get a 800 MB CD. RJ |

I doubt that you will find a 800mb CD-RW, just CD-R.
Winzip 9 has a new "enhanced deflate" compression mode - you could try that. |

mb26 has the best suggestion yet.
Get Virtualdub and edit the beginning and/or the end to chop some bit's off. Last resort is to re-encode it at a lower bitrate. |
