What is a ZIP File?

[thevickage420]

this dude is on drugs and if he's not he needs to do another line of zip in his file.

[XinoBrix]

I thought they could run many files at once and were not just storage

[junk11111111]

Two free zip apps I like using are 7-zip and PeaZip. Both are free and open source. Can zip and unzip files with either one.

[macuser575]

[nobsaroundhere]

@macuser575 its winrar

[RatkoUSA]

Not for eating? You've obviously never had a tasty cyber-burger.

how to compress 1gb into 1oomb????????????

[brietzmann]

@khurramamin96 probably not possible, but you might want to google "split archive". it (obviously) splits archives in parts of predefined size so you're going to be able to upload them or send them via email easier.

[keanuchiu]

@khurramamin96 In the near future

[SlaughterOnSight]

[youngjinsufan]

can you help me everytime i download a zipfile it turns into a video y????????

[0121ryanh117]

Your zip file turns into a video file? Maybe the zip file contains a video?

[youngjinsufan]

THANKYOU

[0121ryanh117]

Thats ok. By the way, to make a zip file, right click on the file and choose "send to", then choose "compressed(zip)folder".

[doomdude873]

[ZakNCave08]

how do i open the zip file on windows XP?? PLEASE HELP!!

[acnyn]

right click, extract

[doomdude873]

[manwhotalks]

damm.i do not know why when i am extracting halfway( in a zip file), an error message pops out which asks me to try again or skip or cancel and asks me to take note of the error code...is this normal?(btw i'm a vista user).

[Mibmu]

It's a probaly a damaged file in the ZIP file or something like that.

[n310ea]

Are zip files and hidden files both the same thing?

[DJBrokenHigh]

No. Zip files are compression files that use less RAM. They are also much safer. Hidden files are files were the attributes are set to "hide." Zip/Compressed files can contain hidden files.

[sh3l1]

<3 download gesture.

[PatHawkscom]

I love the shorter format again. Some of those 10 minute videos got so off track.

[greenberet0P]

The only thing holding Linux back from taking Microsoft's place as the top, is awareness. Linux is better than Windows in every way. They don't crash, they dont get spyware/adware/viruses/trojans because 99.9% of those programs only run on Windows. Their faster because of the ingenuity of open source - Linux is better than windows in every way, the only argument against it is the one made by the 9th grade kids whose only interest with computers is to play games.

[PlatonicKamel]

I think what Linux really needs is someone like Google to get behind it, and push it to manufacturers. They could have the "Google OS". With a name everyone knows and trusts you'd see a lot more people adopting it. Linux; what's that? Google OS... Google is easy to use and always works... I'll try it. See what I mean?

[subWOOFFA]

Nicely Said

[artfungames]

If ever one started using any OS then it would be more better than the old one..... i have used Linux before and i still came back to windows.

[subWOOFFA]

The Most True Thing I've EVER heard

[Optimus754]

@greenberet0P It may be better for all those reasons, but 90% of my programs won't work on there. I'd rather stick to Windows. Besides, only computer-illiterate people get viruses.

[DrKayvo]

@greenberet0P Linux is so good that it has market shar... oh wait guess not!

[markus12343]

ZIP File? me likey! delicious!!!

[AccordionManiac]

We can eat files now? Wow - Technology has come a far way! Thanks for vid.

[greenberet0P]

What kind of comments are these? ZIP files rule, ZIP files for president, wtf. If you only knew how much better tr.gz files are, you wouldn't be running XP, you'd be running Linux and that, fellow youtubers, is when you make the transition from computer user to a computer of the user.

[psycoticsinginchick]

I'm glad my windows handles zip files without 3rd party apps. I'm not sure how it works, but it does.

[evilgnius]

kool. zip files rule. and so do RAR files. ZIX FILES ARE SCAM!!!

[IceflowStudios]

I'm glad that OS's are being able to handle Zip files without 3rd party apps.
