    Is it possible to archive mpeg movies? I have converted my movies to mpeg and copied them onto vcds. As I try to encode AC3 w/headach3, the progam keeps telling me I do not have enough room. I have a 120G hard drive. I am trying to try to move my movies to my other computer, but so far I am having no luck.
    Can someone help?

    You answered your own question.

    The rest of your post doesn't make any sense.

    Can you be more clear?

    MPEG movies are already heavily compressed, putting them in a zip or rar archive won't help. Your movie converter program probably first decodes the movie into an uncompressed/raw format before it encodes them again, which takes up tons of HDD space.
