I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly... those files can be compressed, but you don't have to.

Copy these files to the HD.

VIDEO folder
DIG.LA0
DIG.LA1
DIGMUSIC.BUN
DIGVOICE.BUN
LANGUAGE.BND (Non-English versions)

No compression of the *.BUN files is needed.

Actually you don't even need to copy the files to your HD... you can simply select the DIG-directory on the CD to play it with ScummVM (the save-files will be stored on your HD though).

Best to copy off the disc though, helps prevent problems while playing. To compress the files you'll need the SCUMM VM Tools and the appropriate compression tools ie LAME Flac or Oggenc, but that's not vital unless you like to save some space (about 200-300 megs on average).
