apparently rar and zip have a limit (4gb) on how big file can be compressed.

I have a 68gb folder of video (they are work related) and I need to send it to my friend.

Any compression software have UNLIMITED or atleast 70gb+ compression?
only give name… unless its free (the software is free on its own)

Here's one… I would recommend zipping it in 4gb packs then uploading into one zip…

Can videos normally be compressed much?

The length of the video is about 3 days long…

See Cut em2 it's post.
That would be your best BUT really slow option.

If you read through it, compressing can take forever! But you have the option to change what size you want to compress it to, which is nice.
So, anyway:



Offtopic: Your location should be changed to rocket instead of bullet aswell as cut em2 it says. Lol.

May I ask what the video is? Like what's in it, and how it pertains to your work? 3 days long is a whopper! Is the single video the 60 gigs, or are there more than just the 3 day-er?

And also, it's not a bullet or rocket, it's a bomb. From a movie, I'm sure you have seen many parodies of people riding bombs, your avatar is one of them.

Your best option with video is to use a lossy compression scheme. x264 works the best as of now. barring that, try 7zip, there isn't much more you can do. Video is very hard to compress without lossy compression. (most likely your video is already in some lossy format)
