Hi

My friend has given me a 7.5 GB HD movie which I want to compress and want to share it with my friend.

Please tell me which is the best reliable software for compression and will I be able to split the movie after using the compression software as to copy it from one PC to another is a problem and thus I will be using HJ split for this.

Secondly, when i tried to run that movie on my PC (P-IV) the VLC player took almost all my PC memory for running this movie but even after that, the movie was not running smoothly. It was looking like a slow motion movie. IS IT NORMAL or else how to correct it. :huh:

I want to see this movie on my HD Plasma TV through my PC.

Regards
 
^^ Well if you want to reduce size then you will have to compromise with the quality, Quality will drop as you compress it or try to lower the file size
 
But is there no other software like Winrar which is used for compression of normal office docs which can do such type of work for a movie file?
 
Compression of all data aren't the same. You can't compress a video file as much as a text file. You can google more for compression technique or algorithm, then you will understand how datas are compressed.

Documents and multimedia files (songs, videos etc) behave differently when it comes to compression. A document can be compressed greatly without loss of original content. In the case of multimedia, however, compression results in an irreversible loss of quality.
 
Most of the times a simple concatenation does the trick. You can try the following from the cmd prompt in Windows. Assumption is that the two files are of the same format.

type file1 file2 ... filen > outputfile

where file1, file2, ...., filen are the files that need to be joined, and outputfile is the final joined movie file.
 
Like I said, works most of the times. I have tried this on wmv, mpg and avi successfully.

You can alternatively use copy /b instead of type. Does the same thing.
 
compressing 7.5 GB OF video data with WINRAR (oe even 7ZIP)..gonna take system for a long run unless the system is able to handle it. Make sure you have HDD Spare too..(atleast twice or more)
