I was wondering what type of compression modern pc games use to get them to fit on a dvd and not use loads of hdd space?
 
Not sure but Halo did this really really well.

If I recall it was 3GB+ when uncompressed and it fitted onto a single CD :eek:
 
Usually something like:


Lossy compression on all textures.

Ogg or MP3 lossy compression on all sound.

Zlib or Deflate on most other data files.
