Hi Luigi

1) The file to compress is about ~ 1.6Gb.  (1.600.000.000 Bytes)

I have found that the file limit is just slightly more than 500MB except
where the compression level is 0 then any 'File system' supported size is
okay, i.e. no compression (better for avi files anyway).

For files > 500MB (or larger than the destination media) I use the zlib unit
(TCompressionStream) that came with Delphi (I do not know if this came with
C Builder).

This is where the ability to zip streams with zipdll would have been handy
as we could have zipped very large files in sections.

Regards

Barry
