Well nosound97,
You will first compress it into a .7z and then the .7z into a .zip ?
That doesnt make sense.

As you would extract the .zip and then you would get a .7z and then bam a problem.

As i just wrote this without posting EmuCraze seems to be a website,
So i asume you cant upload it. Thats the problem well thats indeed a problem.
Although i still dont recommend double compressing it.
Just do .zip only as its quite annoying to extract a archive to find another archive within it.

it doesn't actually compress it again, it just stores the archive inside the zip file

LuisR14,

Well no it will actually try to compress it again,
As it doesnt know its already compressed,
But as its already compressed you wont notice any diffrents,

But still a archive inside a archive is quite a stupid idea.
