.ISO Shrinker/ Compressor
I'm looking for a .ISO compression program. I want the .ISO file to fit on a standard 4.7GB disc. The file its self is 8.3GB
Can this be done, if not, what discs are available for it? Thanks P.s. I have tried DVD shrink, it doesn't like it, UDF error. |

Try Using MagicISO to compress ISO image..
Or you could just shift+right click->Send to->Zipped( compressed) Folder. I'm not sure how good the second technique is with ISO files but it's worth a try. Oli |

Err... I'm confused, what exactly do you want to do? What I got is this:
8.3GB .ISO file, compress it, then burn the compressed .ISO file to disk as a disk image? I mean, compress the .ISO and hopefully the content (all 8.3GB of it) fits to a 4.7GB disk, and you can read the files in the burnt disk as if it's the 8.3GB data burnt normally...? Like that? OR 8.3GB .ISO, compress it to - say "somefile.iso.zip" and burn the .zip file to a disk? zzz2496 |

Or you could buy an 8GB flash drive or put it on an external hard disk. Oli |

I think my situation may be similar to the original request.
I have an OEM Win 7 iso, that I am trying to make a backup of, which is slightly too big to burn to a DVD. Not sure why that is the case since it is created from the original DVD so it must have been compressed somehow when originally created.. Side question: will removing some of the unneeded languages from the image stop the install from working? |

Just try burning the ISO to a DVD even though it's a little too big, it may just be some ISO containment files which make it a little big and of course they won't be burned. Oli |

Everything inside the .ISO file is even more .ISO files ![]() I think my situation may be similar to the original request.
