Ok, here's what I got. I have archived the same file over and over again to ensure accurate results.
The smallest archive format is apparently a .7z archive.
Here is my list of smallest to largest archive formats of a 1,684 KB file.
Archive Extension Size
7-Zip .7z 1,428 KB
RAR .rar 1,431 KB
G-Zip .gz 1, 473 KB
Cabinet .cab 1,474 KB (TIE)
Black Hole .bh 1,474 KB (TIE)
JAR .jar 1,474 KB (TIE)
ZIP .zip 1,474 KB (TIE)
LHA .lha 1,477 KB
BZA .bza 1,504 KB (TIE)
BZ2 .bz2 1,504 KB (TIE)
YZ1 .yz1 1,514 KB
Uncompressed .exe 1,684 KB
TAR .tar 1,690 KB
There you go. Apparently TAR actually makes the file bigger. So don't use TAR I guess. I spent quite a bit of time doing this so I hope it will help a lot of you out there with the same question!

Why does PictoDS give you an error that the file format is not supported?
In order to convert JPG files into CBDS files using PictoDS, simply adding JPG files and trying to "Proceed" to convert them is not going to work. What you can do, is:Compress all the JPG files you want to convert into one ZIP or RAR archive. Add this archive and then click "Proceed". The JPG files will be unzipped into the same folder the archive is contained and a CBDS file will be created in the folder you've set as PictoDS's "output folder".Add the folder containing the JPG files you want to convert. A CBDS file will be created in the folder set as PictoDS's "output folder".
What is the file format for samsung u700 themes and how can you convert them from the nth file format to the samsung one alternatively are there any websites that have SAMSUNG themes please help?
The file format for any mobile phone theme is likely to be a closely guarded secret of the phone manufacturer. for that reason converting a theme created in one format to the file format used by the phone is unlikely. The phone you have should give you access to the all of the themes available from the manufacturer.

How can you convert files to mp3 format?
You need to have any special audio files converting software to convert audio files to mp3 format... For example I use a famous software called AUDACITY to convert WAV format files to mp3 format.... You can download the latest version at audacity.sourceforge.net for free... Open the file through Audacity and go to File ---> Export... option..... Give the appropriate details if you want and save it...Your job is done!! :)Or else, you might have the older version of Audacity which would say it requires some kind of a dll file to convert a file to mp3 format. That file is known as lame_enc.dll. The instructions to download that file is at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3....This enables you to convert files to mp3 format with older version of Audacity...After downloading, locate the downloaded file when you want to convert...
