Comment on If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?

To get the maximum compression out of video you should use a video codec like av1 or hevc. WinRAR wont compress video well at all and making it an ISO is also pointless.

I would suggest checking out handbrake for a good user friendly video compression tool.

For lossless compression, things other then video/audio, you should movr to 7zip over winRAR.

I gave up encoding movies with Handbrake. I can always see the difference in the resulting picture quality and if I don’t, the file is probably only reduced from 80gb to 70gb and it’s not worth it.

I usually just rip the blu-rays, strip out the unnecessary languages and leave the rest as it is.
