    Hi, I'm a new subscriber. I would like to start building a video library of all the issues videos as I go through them. The end would be that I could burn all the videos onto a couple of DVD's and I can pop them out when I need to view them, instead of having to go through the whole unzip process. Right now I can download a whole issue. However once I unzip these I need to proceed to make subfolders for each of the topics for the month, and then I have to make subfolders for each video for each topic under that, and then I have to unzip the individual video zip files into those subdirectories. This is an extremely tedious process. It would be great if I could just download one zip file for an issue, and then extract it with subdirectories and all. Anyway something like this could happen?

    Hello,

    If you use WinZip (you can download it for free with a 30day trial) it can uzip multiple files at the same time. This should save you quite a bit of time.

    In the later issues we have stopped zipping up the individual videos. Thanks,

    Lee I think his suggestion is to put each video in a folder then zip it up. This way when a user downloads the video archive file each month and uses a winzip, 7zip, etc. the video files are extracted to the same folders each time. If you used the category names of your tutorials as folder names this would be an easy organizational tool. Does this make sense? I think it's a great idea.

    Yes - I already have WinZip. Am I missing something?
