How to compress 28.9GB folder to a 22GB folder?
Hi Experts,
I have a 28.9GB folder that contains .avi files.
Is there a way to compress a 28.9GB folder that contains .avi files down to a 22GB folder?
Using Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit.

Okay.
What would be my best option?
What's the purpose in WinRAR with "Compression method" and "Split to volumes, bytes"?

The 30 .avi files that I can't add to the 25GB (not enough space) would come to 6.82GB.
I guess I could use another 25GB blu-ray disc or I can use a DVD+R DL 8.5GB support.

Yes. I would like to play them from the blu-ray disc.
I would only play them from a computer through Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player or CyberLink PowerDVD 11. Not through a DVD/Blu-ray player for a TV.

kpax77,
I followed your instructions.
Does FormatFactory only support up to 13 videos at once?
I have about 126 .avi videos to convert.

The reason I'm asking is because I select all the .avi files I want to convert, and it's only giving me about 13 .avi files at a time that I'm able to convert, not 500 :)

I had to add the complete folder. An option is available to do that. Once I added the complete folder it added all the .avi files. Now I have to wait for them to convert.
Very good!

If I remove about 30 files (.avi) I will have about 22GB.
That will work but I really need to have all .avi files.
I'm trying to burn them onto a 25GB blu-ray disc.
If I use a 50GB blu-ray disc that would definitely work but 50GB blu-ray blank discs are expensive.
Are you familiar with WinRAR or WinZip? Could there compression method(s) work?
