No way media compressed 5x.
- Maybe they store images as uncompressed .bmp for some reason
  
  bmp should not compress more than other media files. jpeg, png, etc. can compress so much because they are lossy
- Was thinking the same thing
- Why are you surpried? It's actually possible. You just need so much computing power like around 64 GB ram and High End CPU to Pack and Unpack both.
  
  Because modern media files are already compressed by default and have very little redundancy in them.

Ew, WinRAR.
- WinRAR got me through some hard times. She might be filthy, but she did the job
  
  She's proprietary nagware, and 7-Zip is better in every way.
- I use Windows in-built extract

- Seriously I don't know maybe you reverse search this.
- OP’s computer

Is this lossless?

What if it's on a BTRFS --compress-force=zstd:22 compressed subvolume?

you can't compress most media files again, they don't get smaller that way as they're already compressed. you can't compress files again, that's against Shannon Information theory.

Do Windows people often see .xzs? Does anyone?
