hi, i have 50 anime episodes(about 10GB) that i need to burn into cd so i can free some space. i only have 3GB left for my HD. but i dont have DVD burner. i plan to burn them into cd-r. but each cd-r can only hold about 4 episodes. i plan to compress them with winrar or winzip, then burn them into cd. that can fit around 10 episodes per cd-r. but i wonder if that would lose video and audio quality. thanks!

Compressing the files like that won't affect the quality. If you ran the files through and changed the sampling rate then you'd lose quality.

Most video files are already compressed, and you'll find that zipping, rarring or some other compression scheme will only get around 2-10% data size compression. The files themselves, however, will not lose quality when compressed in this method. File compression schemes are loss-less, the data is the same when decompressed.

If you compress them using WinRar or WinZip, they shouldnt lose any quality. Just make sure you dont forget to unzip them and paste them onto the local hard drive when you want to watch them.
