Every time I compress a file over 1.5 Gigs it ends up corrupt any idea what the cause is?

Compression depends on repetativeness of characters within the file.  If it can't map those, it won't compress.   Images and programs are much harder to compress for that reason, as they both are basically binary constructs.  Some image software compresses looking at common lines and points of the same color.   Audio files look for the same frequency. Most video formats are already compressed to some extent except full DV.
And files with DRM get even more dicy, since you really can't bypass the DRM which itself is binary code, not to mention not allowed to be copied.   This forum can't discuss such issues due to the DMCA rules.  As long as it isn't copyright, what are you trying to compress?
