Yes I tried running gzip on 8.6Mb file which I got 7.7Mb after compression.
Can you suggest any other way to achieve this, I want to keep cache for
5-6 months.

I have implemented squid to cache videos (.flv) and allocated 45 GB of

It might be possible but you likely wouldn't gain much if anything from it.
FLVs are heavily compressed already so you're unlikely to get much further
compression. Try grabbing a copy of one of those FLVs and running gzip on
it to see.
