Agozer Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) RAR or ACE most likely. Edited August 10, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i l l m a t i c Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 (edited) well right now i am compressing metal gear solid 2: substance...a dvd9 game for ps2...both layers and the size of it is 6.3gbs...im using winrar with the "best" compression option...its at 10% right now...8 hours and 55 minutes left yay i spilted the iso into 50mb rars...what do you think the size of the compressed rars will be? hopefully i could fit it into one dvdr...*crosses fingers* Edited August 11, 2004 by Xx1LLMAT1CxX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hmm...you'll be damn lucky to fit it on DVDR. 7zip has some really good compression but I don't know how it compares to RAR. You should find and check out the 7zip website because I remember seeing a compression comparison table there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i l l m a t i c Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 (edited) yea i've tried 7zip before, but with its compressions in my experience uses a WHOLE lot of RAM for zipping and unzipping....memory that I dont have... *EDITOh yea btw @ 10%, the rars were only at 340mbs and if I calculated it correctly, the finished rars will be 3400mbs = 3.4GBs!! can someone confirm this calcualtion?

Xeon Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 with files that huge and fragile, youre better off with RAR or ACE. 7-Zip doesnt have recovery methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
