Thanks for the video, but i didnt ask to zip a single file, a better version of this method is already available in many scripts which supports, unrar, zip-unzip, tar-untar etc. What i asked what how to batch convert many folders to individual folders.zip. If i follow your method i have to make zip of each folder seperately, which is tedious task if i have many folders to zip. i hopoe you understand now what i mean.. ---

It changes the size of big files. When the big fill is zipped and then unzipped the fill size is changed. ---

Has the same issue. It changes the size of big files. When the big fill is zipped and then unzipped the file size is decreased. ---
