I have backed-up my whole DVD library and also put them all on my mp3 player. Now I have iso image files, avi files and wmv files saved to my hard drives...obviously taking up ALOT of space. What I want to know is this, I want to save these files in case I ever need to re-burn a DVD or re-transfer a movie to my mp3 player. Is it safe to compress or zip these files, then unzip when ever I need to access one of them? Will zipping or compressing them cause any harm to the file? I don't want to have through the ripping, converting, burning process every time I need to burn a movie. If this is an option, what would be the proper way to zip these files without causing harm? Thanks in advance.
If I where you I would just burn dvd or cd disc or get another large hard drive you can compress files to a point they will lose quality or go bad
