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.

If you really have 'fully implemented' the youtube caching tricks then you will probably need a bigger cache.

I have implemented squid to cache videos (.flv) and allocated 45 GB of space for cache_dir, my problem here is that, I can store data only upto 10-15 days depend upon the video size. Is there any way to store cache in compressed format.

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.
