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

No, movies and music files are already compressed, so compressing them further won’t gain anything. In fact it will actually increase the file size because compressed files require some overhead. So even winrar won’t help, though it might be convenient to have one big file with everything in it (you can even break it up into multiple part files.)
