I tried it using the XP built in zip thingy - a 55MB avi file compressed to 50MB

decompressing should not be a problem, the OP only wants to store the files.

Converting to divx would compress the file size, but it is a 'lossy' conversion.

I would 'bite the bullet' & save them as the native files - and get a dvd writer, so much more versatile
