Choosing the Compression Level

In the Choose compression level window, specify the level for compressing the disk. Three compression levels are available: Low, Medium, and High. Each level suggests the execution of certain tasks. The tasks on these levels are indicated by different colors: red High_Level is used for high-level tasks, yellow Medium_Level for medium-level tasks, and green for low-level Low_Level tasks. For more information about the levels, refer to Parallels Compressor Basics.

Drag the slider in the left part of the window to choose the appropriate compression level. Each level of compression has a fixed number of tasks.

You can also select or deselect certain tasks in the tasks list.

When finished, click the Compress button.
