So an .mpg media file if compressed into some .zip file transfers to a USB flash drive faster than the same .mpg file transfers to the same drive but not .zip-ed. As I recall, aren't .zip files essentially hex code, which transferrs faster than streaming binary (which I believe is the way a raw .mpg would be copied)? But you can also lose information, which is why you use BIN when transferring .jpg-s and ASCII when transferring .html-s via FTP to a remote server. IMHO, anyway.
