Compressing the photo files

Hi, I have around 3000 photos on my iPhoto. I want to move them on disc. I can only fit 300 on each disc. Is there any other way to compress photos to be able to fit more pictures on a single disc? Thanks

You can zip them.
Or burn to DVD instead of CD.
If you're doing this as a back-up of the pics, I'd suggest getting an external drive (firewire interface) and store them on it. Preferably one that is big enough to make a complete clone of your hard drive, which you should do on a weekly basis.

Thanks for suggestion. I bought DVD+RW but when I put it in my PowerBook G4 it spits it out. Is DVD+RW compatible with my comp or what do I have to do? THanks.

Look in System Profiler for your CD/DVD drive specs. It will be listed under "ATA". There will be two devices listed, one will be your hard drive, the other your optical (CD/DVD) drive. It should say DVD-, DVD+, or both.
Do you have a Superdrive, able to write DVDs, or just a combo drive which will only read DVDs?
