With WinZip 10.0, Corel introduced enhanced compression methods (PPMd and bzip2) that made even smaller zip files. Now in WinZip 11.2, Corel's new Best Compression feature takes it a step further; you can let WinZip decide the best compression method for each file in order to ensure maximum efficiency.
Allow WinZip to Select "Best Compression" Automatically
Now WinZip can automatically select which compression method to use for each file you add to your Zip file, to create the smallest Zip file possible, helping you to save both data transmission time and valuable disk space.
Do you need to open a BZ2 or RAR file? WinZip can now be your tool of choice.
.BZ2 and .RAR File Support (Extract Only)
Extract from .BZ2 and .RAR files without opening a separate application.
Corel have also improved multimedia support. Music lovers will appreciate the ability to compress .wav music files more efficiently, without compromising sound quality. If you already use WinZip to archive your images, think of how much easier it will be now that you can actually see thumbnails of the photos that you're trying to organize!
Zip .wav Music Files
When you select Best Compression Method, Corel uses a new compression algorithm for lossless compression of .wav files. A must-have for music lovers who don't want to compromise the file integrity or sound quality.
View Thumbnails Within WinZip Without Launching A Separate Application
If you have any images in a Zip file, you can now browse through them viewing the thumbnails without first extracting the images from the Zip file. This makes it a lot easier and quicker to work with images in Zip files and archiving images using Zip files.
