OK, but seriously, I hurt my thumb now. And it's not like I just cut it or something fell on it or anything so simple. It's like a terrible pain in my thumb muscle. ----------------------------------- templest Thu Jul 15, 2004 3:23 pm ----------------------------------- NOOO! tar.bz2 !!!!! r0x!!@!!#12 OMG, MY UNCLE ATE A FOX!#@!@E@$! MY SISTER LIEKS 2 SUCK {insert rhyming word here} RFO(&#@TE!^~#&#*! 8) ----------------------------------- the_short1 Thu Jul 15, 2004 7:17 pm ----------------------------------- i saw no noticible (over 30kb) dif when using rar or zip (i was dealing with a 40 MB of stuff.. and i compressed into both formats... and they both turned into 15.something... so its not enuf to change... plus i dont like winrar... i cant comment on other formats tho.. havn't tried them.... ----------------------------------- Raugrist Thu Jul 15, 2004 7:54 pm ----------------------------------- Did you try using different compression level? That is, use "best" instead of the default "normal?" Besides, .rar beats .zip because mainstream is lamestream (it doesn't need to rhyme to be true). ----------------------------------- the_short1 Thu Jul 15, 2004 8:23 pm ----------------------------------- well.. i did both on same level... ----------------------------------- templest Fri Jul 16, 2004 4:40 pm ----------------------------------- well.. i did both on same level... Compress both at "best" and you'll see the results. Try ".tar.bz2", you'll see dude, It compresses like mad. Also, you have to take into consideration that some files compress better than others. It's a fact. I've seen folder of 100+ jpegs compress by a factor of 10%, and then I've seen huge documents files compressed by about 40%, at the same compression level. ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Jul 16, 2004 6:30 pm ----------------------------------- lol i've done a test on most of the popular good compressions and here's my conclusion: 7z for compressing binary and text files .rar for compressing media (video pictures etc..) nothing beats that. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Fri Jul 16, 2004 7:21 pm ----------------------------------- i had a full version game (diferent kinds / types of files) i ziped it into both .rar and .zip format using same compression.. and their wasn't a 'big' diference.. i have not tried those other two formats (tar bz) maybe they do better... but meh... winzip is good enuf for me... ----------------------------------- Catalyst Sat Jul 17, 2004 12:37 am ----------------------------------- for some reason by raring a file twice (both at best) i managed to shave another 25% off sizewise ----------------------------------- the_short1 Sat Jul 17, 2004 2:40 pm ----------------------------------- like making a zip file... then putting that zip file into another zip file? well.... if thats the case.. hmm... ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jul 17, 2004 4:22 pm ----------------------------------- it doesn't work for Zip files i tried, only for RAR :shockL ----------------------------------- the_short1 Sun Jul 18, 2004 9:27 pm ----------------------------------- what u mean... not being able to put a zip file into a zip file? (cuz i have done that before... (to password protext something and to make files not visible).... u just need to select more then one file to add to the archive... then it works.. or are u talkiogn about saving space by double archiving? ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Jul 18, 2004 9:30 pm ----------------------------------- ya that's what im talking about.. if you rar a rar file the file size becomes a bit smaller, but not the same for zip files. ----------------------------------- Raugrist Mon Jul 19, 2004 1:52 pm ----------------------------------- That's because rar is better. :wink: ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Jul 19, 2004 5:00 pm ----------------------------------- no.,..... thats cuz zip files are already as compressed as they get... (meaning the acuall .zip file is compressed..).. like mp3s./.. they are already compressed pretty well... u dont gain much my ziping / raring them... rite? so a rar file is not as cleanly made.. cuz it can be compressed.. :? notice a conversation about arhiving files has gone on for a week? sadening.... ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Jul 19, 2004 5:01 pm ----------------------------------- Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry!Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry! Im Hungry ----------------------------------- Raugrist Mon Jul 19, 2004 5:30 pm ----------------------------------- I'd rather be hungry. Unfortunately, I have the stench of corned beef to suffer with. ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 19, 2004 6:43 pm ----------------------------------- Benchmarking (real-world results) ---Binary-and-Text-files--- Uncompressed (size on disk): 21.9 Mb WinRAR: 13.9 Mb WinRAR (second time over): 13.8 Mb 7z: 11.1 Mb ---Media--- mp3: 3.92 Mb WinRAR: 3.82 Mb WinRAR (second time over): 3.83 Mb 7z: 3.83 Mb NOTE: media is already in compressed format (mp3)... and hence the conclusion of this investigation is that WinRAR is great for compressing already compressed data. on the other hand its is best that you use 7z for compressing uncompressed data. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Jul 20, 2004 11:14 am ----------------------------------- ahh.. but u did not try WINZIP (not using winrar to make the .zip files)_ and winzip 9.0 has a new compressesion level.... that compresses even better .. but thats new technology so some other ziip utilities may not work with it.... but its good for zipping stuff on ur comp cuz u have winzip 9 to unzip it.. not much gain on that mp3 eh.... 7z tho.. exactly what is that?? and try winraring a file 3 times... i wonder.... ----------------------------------- templest Tue Jul 20, 2004 5:58 pm ----------------------------------- Once I tried to zip a 3+ GB file and it gained 40 MB. :shock: ----------------------------------- rizzix Tue Jul 20, 2004 7:06 pm ----------------------------------- yea zip sucks.. but it is good for daily use.. zip is designed for fast compression and fast decomression.. other formats focus mainly on slow but stronger compression and fast decompression ----------------------------------- Raugrist Tue Jul 20, 2004 8:38 pm ----------------------------------- That's hilarious, templest. Here's something: I once unrarred 4 compressed CD images, then realised they were actually in .iso format and that somebody had set .iso's to be associated with winrar. An hour later, I was up four coasters. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Wed Jul 21, 2004 9:32 am ----------------------------------- An hour later, I was up four coasters. ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? let me gues... that stupid PC had extensions hidden? ... i hate that!!!!!! some comps at my school were like that... such a pain in the ass!!!!
