well you can’t compress anything by making it into an iso. Because iso does exactly zero compression whatsoever.

No. And that’s a bad plan. Uncompressed them, and then reencode them to h256/x265 with handbrake (use the SuperHQ 1080p setting). That’s as compressed as they’ll get and you can still watch them without having to unzip them first

80 gb is not a lot for movies. My average 4K movie is between 60 and 80 gb per movie. If you start encoding and compressing them you start seing compression artifacts and reduction in quality very quickly.

My advice: don’t compress movies if you can. Just get more storage. Storage is relatively cheap these days.

What. If you compress them to zip, 7zip, rar, etc. You will never get any artifacts

I guess they are talking about re-encoding because video files are already compressed.

You can compress with the method above to save more space. But you have to uncompress before watching

If you want to compress video files, you’ll need to reencode them. Maybe using something like HEVC (High Efficiency Video Codec). But for 80GB of videos, you’ll be there for a while and probably won’t shrink them enough to be worth it. It would likely take less time to simply re-download the files later, even with a mediocre internet connection. In practical terms, you won’t get that 80GB to be any smaller.

ISOs don’t compress anything, as far as I know, or at least not by default. I think they’re basically just a container.

To reencode your videos, you can use the free HandBrake.
