I need the information on the ISO file size .
can it be much larger than the actual files size …
I downloaded two tutorials from a website .
they are in .iso format (287MB & 213MB) .
instead of burning them to two CDs , I wanted
to make a single CD . so I extracted them to
two folders . Now I find that the total size of
actual files is much less than the original iso s .
(259MB & 85MB)
I used winrar 3.51 for the extraction . I doubt
if the extraction was incorrect . Testing of iso s
with the winrar showed no errors .
what do you analyze from this ? I searched the net
and found no relevant information . could you help me …
well i have never heard about bloated iso’s plz tell me seshu wat have u downloaded(maybe thru PM),
but super_saiyan, the iso’s u have encountered are optimized iso’s, it must be an all in one iso which is having a lots of versions of same program like allversions of windows xp
It will be larger in size if its extracted…using ny of d iso edits…
some files will be used by more than 1 reference in the applications..
N dose will be written only once, n rest will be given reference(aka sfotlinks)..
wen extratced.. it will be more in number of files…so the size also…
other than that… in the process of making an ISO u can do compression also… even it cld be bcoz of this…
