With the sudden influx of newbiew/n00bs who refuse to use the search function, and thus opening repeat topic/thread, here's the software corner's own super-newbie/n00b thread

Rules -
1. I'll make them up as i go along.
2. Super duper newbie questions (we all have to start somewhere) & super n00b question (makes moderating easy).
3. simple questions (non-n00b/newbiew) and one liners - those that keep you up awake late at night, the answer you could swear on your grandpapy's grave you know, but simply eludes you and gnaw at the fringes of your memory.
4. if you can't find your thread - it's merged here.
5. Super n00b question are encouraged and tolerated. Super n00b answer's are strictly prohibited!
6. spamming/flamming not allowed.

Try using daemons software since that file is a .iso file

u can download the software here : http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.p...ategory&catid=5

i read an article bout using daemons too.. i installed and tried to open but failed... problem is i cant open the extract the rar file.. it'll jump to the next then i cant open any file in it at all so daemon no use for now...

this means that your single ISO file is split into 14 part in RAR format.
right click on the first rar file called <whatever gundam blablabla> 01of14 and select extract from winrar. once the extraction is done, you will find a ISO file called <whatever gundam blablabla>.iso file in your folder. Load this ISO file with deamon tools or burn it out to a CD/DVD whatever.

yes, i did tat according to one of the articles i've found... problem is the stupid file cant be extracted at all... no .iso file appears... i think i'll just 4get it, might be corrupted file..

i have a .iso file which is 4.9GB... is there ways to fit the file into a blank DVD+R?
if not can i split the files into 2 without extracting it so that im able to burn it into 2 DVD+R?
and what burning software is needed??

Hmm, I'm also facing with this kind of problem. Recently I've downloaded Windows XP 9 in 1 CD (700 MB), when I mounted it on a virtual drive, it became 4gb++, so basically you can burn 4gb++ on a CD-R, which is great! I tried magiciso to compress dvd9 movie to dvd5 (so we can achieve dvd9 quality in dvd5 disc) but the differences between the original iso and the compressed uif is just 200mb.

I've also tried kgb archiver, so far I've never achieve 1 gb -> 5mb, not much differences between compressed kgb archive and original data. Ughh.

so is it possible to extract the iso file and compress it back so that the file size will be smaller?

a single-layer single-sided DVD-R/RW's maximum capacity is 4.37Gb. what do you think?

solution? get a dual-layer single-sided DVD-R/RW (7.95Gb onwards). if you don't know what the difference is or if your writer supports it, go to the hardware Q&A corner.

4.37Gb?
The DVD single layer capitacity is 4.7 GB, right?

i thought the max capacity is 4.5gb?? although the written capacity is 4.7gb...
anyways, is there any possible ways to make that 4.9gb iso file to burn into an DVD+R??

dual layer DVD are expensive and i have quite a number of files which is more than 4.7gb...

as title above..
any1 noe to use gis sopftware like map info.can help me do sumting??
