Good morning /g/. I would like to compress some films in a file and watch them when I want.
What is the best format to compress?
> I've been using .7z and 7zip but if you want to watch a film you have to uncompress all files.
> Wikipedia says .rar is slower than .7z and .zip. And zip don't compress so much like the other ones.
That's not going to work correctly. Movies are already compressed to hell and back so compressing them with rar or 7z doesn't help.

I know it, but if you want to have them packed, set a pass, not gonna use those files... you have to compress them.

Thanks, I'll use .zip because I just want to be fast in this way and I don't care very much about size.

Dont compress them, retard. Pack them into tar

What format are the videos in? Chances are that they're already compressed and zipping won't do shit. The only alternative then would be to reencode the video with a better format, but you'd lose quality.

You can actually set zero compression if you just want the archive functionality.

Select 'store' instead of 'fast' or 'best: as the compression profile in winrar or 7zip. That should take reasonable amount of time when you take it out of the archive.

Create a true crypt volume and put movies in it. It will be password protected and once you unlock it the files will be just click to play.

truecrypt is insecure and deprecated software. It's not nice of you to trick people into using it.

The op isn't going to store cheese pizza in the volumes anyway so it really doesn't matter.
