Daniel0 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 There are loads of way to compress it and you can compress it at different levels. Higher compression means smaller size but more overhead when compressing and extracting. Lower compression is the opposite obviously. The Windows right-click thing doesn't give you many options but a full-fledged archiving program (my favorite is 7-Zip which supports many formats and is open source) does.

Lamez Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I was watching a video on YouTube about the LHC, and she was presenting it to the peeps at google, and someone asked what are they using to compress the data that is rendered from the machine, and she said 7-zip, because they found out that is has a better compression rate than the other choices. Then she told him, if he knew\invented anything better to let her know.
