Does it have to be zip? For example bzip2 will do it with:

Code:

bzip2 *

You can decompress with:

Code:

bzip2 -d *

Go into the directory with the files and try this:

Code:

for i in *; do zip `basename $i .wmv`.zip $i; done

Note that those are back quote (on the ~ key)

I'm not sure wmv's will compress too far though...
