thanks for the help concerning compression. It makes sense now. i knew pictures and videos were already compressed but it never occurred to me while trying to back up my files.
I ultimately decided to delete all but roughly 40 gigs of my data and stick it onto my Ipod...only thing i got that i can use as an external hard drive lol.
it would have taken me 9-12 hours to finish the compression of 200gigs of data. then probably a few days to place all the data onto...50 dvds... It took an hour just to transfer 40 gigs of information from my hard drives to my Ipod.
