I have a 2.5 GB file, how can I compress it to burn onto a 700 MB CD-R? Thanks!?

Answer 1

You can split it into segments with Hjsplit. It works with all files then you can burn it onto a few different discs and then join it back together. Hjsplit works fast , its easy to setup and use 100% free.

Thats what I suggest because its impossible to compress something that much.

Answer 2

That kind of compression is usually not possible. However, you can split the file up into 700 MB chunks and put each chunk on a disk to be reconstituded somewhere else.

Answer 3

2 techniques: a million. edit the contents of the iso and dispense with or re-encode any records that are in a position to be disposed of or reencoded 2. archive it and chop up it over 2 cd's utilising some thing like 7zip It incredibly relies upon whats on the disk. if its a video, re-encoding will deliver it right down to length. if its a wisdom disk then it must be achievable to dispense with some components of this technique and do a minimum setting up. If its photographs then changing the image decision with a batch converter will shrink it down. in case you cant do those issues then the only decision is to archive and chop up it.

Answer 4

a file of that size, with the most compression, will not fit on a cd. your best bet is a dvd-r(w). or an external drive if you have one available.

Answer 5

simple, you cant.

you can try raring it or ziping it, but i dout it will work

unless its audio or video, then you can use compression software..

unless you can cut it down into sections (.daa files) and put it onto multiple discs
