Re: anyone knows any solution to compress a 6 gig rar file to 2 gig?
You're posting this to the audio discussion list, so I assume the contents of the rar archive is audio data. In that case, particularly if it's mp3 or some similar compressed format you're dealing with, the only way to shrink the size of the file is to re-encode the files to a lower bitrate. I wouldn't recommend this for audio quality reasons, obviously. Archiving with rar, zip or similar programmes works best for text and some application/programme data, or maybe raw sound or picture stuff...you'll get the smallest possible result there with maximum rar compression. - Original Message - From: Jörgen Hansson hansson.jo...@spray.se To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2012 2:13 PM Subject: anyone knows any solution to compress a 6 gig rar file to 2 gig? hello!

Try compressing it with a higher compression level if your zipping program allows. On 29/12/2012, Jörgen Hansson hansson.jo...@spray.se wrote: hello!

Re: anyone knows any solution to compress a 6 gig rar file to 2 gig?
Since a RAR file is already compressed, I doubt you'll get much more out of the compression, but you could check the settings used in the application you used to generate the RAR file. Sometimes you can trade off time against the amount of compression. If you didn't create the RAR file yourself, you can try running it through another compression application, but as I said, I wouldn't be optimistic that you'd be able to compress it by another 3x.

Re: anyone knows any solution to compress a 6 gig rar file to 2 gig?
hey Christopher! well, I might try to see if I can make it an zip file or 7z file compression, it may do better. Thanks for the the advise. Regards, Jörgen Hansson!

Re: anyone knows any solution to compress a 6 gig rar file to 2 gig?
hi, if it's already been compressed you'll definately not be able to compress it further, and at least not to less than 33 % of it's current sise. You might be able to split it into smaller chunks though.
