    When I extract the data files from a .BIN image with Isobuster , I have a folder with all the files that in SIZE are bigger than the size of the .BIN image ??!!!!

    Infact when I create the .ISO image from this folder , This .ISO image is bigger and doesn't fit into the CD-R anymore......

    This happen also if a convert the .ISO into a .BIN

    Why this happen ??????

    What program do u guys use to convert .ISO into .BIN ?????


    thanks

    ok you have posted a lot of threads and posts on the same thing...

    burn the original image, because it will fit on a cd-r, regardless of if its over 700mb

    1. IsoBuster work great or you can mount the bin with CloneCD virtual CD (included with the lastest version of CloneCD). and copy the files out (will not work with hidden files).

    2. it is possible for extracted files to take more space then the bin file due to block size of the hard drive. total blocks used to store multiple files may be bigger then total blocks need to store one file due to unused space in block. files are pack more closely in bin.

    3. you can use ps2cdgen to create a cue/bin from the files in the HD. you don't need to convert from ISO to BIN

    4. BIN file you created should be the same size as the original BIN, if not, you are doing somthing wrong.

    5. patch usually apply to cue/bin file with ppf-o-matic

    6. I agree with ThAD0oD, you could have ask all three questions in one thread since they are all related.
