All of you know .ISO formats as disk image file, today I’ll introduce you a new compressed .ISZ format.
Features:
- Compressed format, you can even split into several parts.
- Open, Burn, Mount on-the-fly as .ISO formats.
- Password protection
And the specification of .ISZ file format is located here ( plain text ).
Currently, you can use UltraISO to compress ISO to ISZ, decompress ( maybe you don’t need to ), mount, burn…etc, from version 8.51.
Daemon-Tools now supports .ISZ mounting, from version 4.0.9.1.
An example:
I’ve made a VS2005 ISO (Intergrated With SP1), it’s about 4Giga large. After compressed to ISZ, the size reduced to half of previous: 2.1G.
However, the compress ratio depends on your content of image, it’s same as RAR or ZIP, no magic.
Enjoy it!
