Ok - am currently talking with the guys over at [romsite name redacted] on what they require me to do with this vid pack.  They are asking that each video get's zipped much like each rom which will reduce the overall size of the release.  This would mean that everyone would also need to do the same with what they have downloaded so far.  It seems to be a rule on their site that everyhting should be run through torrentzip but I guess as none of the mods had any interest in these packs, they never tried to download the torrent and therefore never saw the problem.

That seems kind of silly if you ask me.  The final size of this pack probably won't even be as large as a standard DVD, and there are plenty of torrents out there of that size.  I don't see a need to zip them all considering the size and the fact that we (you) are already half through the pack.

I'd ask them if you could keep it as is, since you are bound to create problems if you have to have everyone zip those files they already have.

Ok everyone - here is a brief tutorial on what you need to do to you avi files to prevent having to redownloading them.  You will need to have winrar and torrentzip.  The version of torrent zip I got was the win version.  I unzipped the exe file into c:\documents and settings\[username]\Send To\ folder

You need to go into each of the avi folders, select all the avi files (ctrlr-A selects all files, then hold the ctrlr button and click on the txt file to unselect it)
Right click on the selected files and choose Add to Archive... (under winrar)
Compression method can stay as Normal
Select .ZIP format in the General Tab
I also selected delete files after archiving as I already had a copy of them elsewhere
Select Put each file to seperate archive in the Files Tab
Click OK
This will then produce individual zip files for each avi.  Do this for each folder but remember not to zip the txt file as it's not required.
Once this is all done, right click on the main folder which has MAME098 #-0 and MAME098 A as subfolders
Select Send To - trrntzip.exe (or if you called it different)
This will then do a thorough check and rezip of all the files
and now your set will be exactly the same as mine. 

Any problems just post here - remember you won't have to redownload anything if you have kept the original structure and followed the instructions above

jcrouse:
So, in order to use them we are then going to have to unzip each and every file, is this correct or am I missing something here? I don't believe most FE's play avi's that are zipped.

This sure seems like a TON more work than ---No torrents please - thanks!---.  Why are we not using ---No torrents please - thanks!--- as much?  It's much easier- just download the torrent, open it, download movies.
Anyone?
