All right I'll admit I am a archiving noob.
Anyways I am trying to archive a bunch of animes and iso's that I have on my computer so that the cd backups aren't as numerous(400GBs is a LOT of CD's). The problem I am having is that 7-zip and WinRAR don't seem to compress them very well(I have tried various options, though I'll admit I have not tried all of them); a 1.18 GB set of video files was reduced to 900~MB. To make matters worse I am having a hard time googling for 'ideal' options for compressing said files.
So if someone wouldn't mind explaining it to me I would be much obliged.
Anyways currently I have been told that WinACE does good video compression so I am giving it a go right now.
