Compressed file size is related to the type of data being compressed.
If it is an mpeg, then it is already compressed and you may not get very much more compression.
Feeding the video file though a compressing codec will reduce file size, but not just a simple zipper applicaiton.

Ok...so most other files are a bit easier to compress...but I would only drop a few MB by compressing an AVI?

i think i might too... they have come down to just £50 for an 8x... but for £60 you can get a better burner at 8x that can handle all media (+/-R etc)
