Hi Nani,

Many file types simply cannot be compressed, as they already contain compressed data. Audio, video and images are a good example of these, you cannot ZIP MP3s, AVIs or JPGs and expect them to become smaller.

That said, you should not use the built-in Zip extension if you are working with large files, as Zip works in memory, which will quickly give you out-of-memory situations. Use the BigZip Forge asset instead.
