RE: Compressing DVD ISO Images

["Ian Lowe" <ianlowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Really not an option - the data within the ISO image is already very
highly
compressed, and using a file compression system like RAR or ZIP will make
tiny (if any) improvements in size.

What most folks do is to use something like DVD Shrink to strip out
unwanted
features, and re-encode the movie down to a smaller bitrate. You lose some
quality, but even on a projector screen that's not so noticeable.

The third approach - lots of diskspace! Building a Terabyte array is a lot
cheaper than it used to be.

OK so I've got dvddecrypter creating the ISO images to my hard disk.
I've googled but to no avail, but wondered if anyone has compressed these
ISO image files, so that when required I decompress then play.
Ok so there will be a delay during decompression but if anyone has done
this?

Cheers
