• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Compressing video files to send via yousendit

I'm trying to send a load of movie files to a friend of mine via yousendit, and I really need to find a way to compress them big time otherwise it's just going to take too long. Zipping them just doesn't do it enough. They are .mov files and the description of the file says the codecs are DV Pal (they're for a film that this friend is editing at the moment). We can barely afford to lose any quality but I was wondering whether it would be possible to compress them to a ****** quality format and then convert them back to a better format once they've arrived?
If not, what's the most I can expect to compress a file without losing quality?
