Vista Tutorial - WinZip

**Riptorn** · 06-21-2009

Hi,
I have WinZip Pro 11.2
Please can someone HELP ME??

I have a folder which as some jpeg's and AVI files which total to 158mb
I want to send these files via email?

I tried to compress the files, but it only made them smaller by about 13mb?
How do I make these files smaller so I can send via email??

I am lost?
Winzip has a option to zip and email, but still the files are too large?
What am I doing wrong?

Regards
Riptorn

Hello Riptorn,

Most ISP providers will have a limit on how large of files you can send at one time through email. About the only thing you can do is to break it them into smaller separate ZIP files, and send them in multiple emails.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Oh?? Ok.. So I cannot actually reduce the size of my jpegs, and AVI's? Most of them are all over 20mb?
So I can't send anything then??
How SAD!

Most likely not with those sizes. You could use a file sharing type website like Rapidshare to upload them to and then send people the link to download them instead.

Hmmmm... Ok... Then??
So what is winzip good for then?
Does it only compress text files?
Thanks for your time/help.
