Zipping doesn't change capacity.

In the sense asked, or if it does, another solution to pack more data on a disk is to use a Plextor Unit that uses some of the error correction space on the disk for actual writing of data.

This might be called "over burning" the disk or over burning might be what you need to google to find other solutions.

I don't know if that causes compatibility issues with other players or not. When I looked at this issue, I concluded it was cheaper to buy more media than to spend it on hardware and now I am burning to dvd media which is far cheaper per gigabyte.

Good Luck.///bobbo.
