Slow importing from Hard Drive

[bryant]

My question is: Do all zip files import correctly and then play properly when in the system? I had many zips that wouldn't take and then only a portion of the ones that did play correctly without errors.

It was a while ago with version 3.01 I believe.

It depends on how you ripped them, and processed them. 20% of the ones I imported for this guy didn't import. The graphics for all of his were good.

the reason the 20% didn't process was the compression of the zip was too high. I am going to unzip them tonight an process the bad ones.

gduns: Is what you do is unzip then re-zip at a lower compression?
How is this done, and at what compression will you be rezipping at?

Oh something else guns, Can you tell a zip file by surface inspection of any kind of what compression it was zipped at?

[gduns - with the Lord]

I am running windows xp. and tried to extract it using windows, and it said compression unknown.

Either compres at a lesser compression, of import the cdg files directly.

[bryant]

Yes I know. But how much of a lesser compression?
Is there a numerical value that works?

Can you tell the compression level of a zip file before unzipping it?

[mindonstrike]

why bother compressing at all?
Why not just import as mp3g and save the hassle and then zip when you are done for archive purposes?
