select archive format to kgb
it compressed my 230 mb image files to only 15.9 mb under normal compression mode. i wonder what happens if u choose maximum compression mode lol.

Do any other mode but the maximim. At maximum compression you need 1GB+ memory:p Any other mode should also offer good compression.

With these settings you should be able to compress properly:

Type: KGB
ratio: very good
This will use nearly 290Mb of physical memory.

Using "extreme" will bring you system to near standstill but still should work
