I down loaded 7zx .I thought it could compress a dvd file on harddrive. Wanted to see if I could shrink 7.6 gb to fit on to 4.7 gb disk. Doesn’t seem to. Actually nothing happened program just chugged along. No time remaining bar. Not saying file cannot be compressed. I’m properly dreaming that 7zx can do what I want it to? Any feed back wellcome
Stuart. It will compress your 7.6GB of files, but it will certainly take some time.
As an example, compressing 24MB (Camino.app) with “7za a -t7z -mx=5″ take 40 seconds on my 1.5GHz PowerBook G4. If you multiply this factor you will end up with 2.1GB à hour. So your 7.6GB will take ~3 1/2 hours to compress on my computer. But I have no idea what kind of hardware you have.
You can remove them by making a small donation. I could restore the links for 1.2.1, but remember that version 1.3 includes at least two critical bug fixes.

Nice statistics!
Would it be possible to restore these download links? I’d much prefer to use the old 1.2 version without the popup ads.
