WTD: some way for built-in cdr burning to zip files automatically

Is there an option somewhere? Is there a cute little script somewhere?
Is there a trick I haven't found with searching?
I back up all the personal documents, 11000+ files, 150+ megabytes,
using the built-in cdr toasting. Dependable, simple, easy.
But looking at the under-side of the cdr shows this is filling up
2/3 or 3/4 of a 700 megabyte cdr, probably because most of the files
are fairly small.
So, if I also want to back up lots more material at the same time on
the same cdr, is there some trick I haven't found that will automate
the zipping of the whole mess into one file just before it puts it on
the cdr?
If I can do that without needing to install another big application
that would be great.
I wonder if it is possible to zip the contents of the temporary folder
where Windows is staging all this stuff without blowing something up.
Or if there is a way to put a cute little script into the right click
menu that does the zip and copy in one step.
thanks
