General Question on Compression.
I am 70% Computer Geek and 30% still human....a very dangerous combination. My question is more for the community to repond to for general learning....we can all still learn....
I would like expert opinion on ........With the availability of Memory now, at low cost........is compression of any type worth the risks involved in recovery........especially
And if the risk of compression is worth it what is the best method???
Just food for thought.....

InteractiveMind makes an excellant point. The compressed file has far less chance of being corrupted. We have to remember that compression is not a "willy nilly" way of doing things, in it is rooted in structured mathematical and tree based algorithms. There is a difference in file compression and lossy compression as that found in media files such as mp3's and mpg's.
