Another Compress suggestion

[hclander]

Hello to all,

What about if ImgBurn can burn on-the-fly gzip,bzip2 or lzop compressed ISO images...

That's easier than rar or other archiver... because it just is the image compressed stream... i think just it's add a decompress step before the user buffer....

(read data -> decompressor -> user buffer -> burner buffer -> burn data )

 

I think this feature could be very usefull with wii scrubbed backup images... or similar DVD images with lots free zeroed bytes in it....

 

Actually I'm usign a win32 cdrecord port piped with bzip2 --- to burn muy bziped wii image files... something like...

bzip2 -bc my_bziped_dvd.iso.bz2 | cdrecord -v speed=4 -dev=1,0,0 -

 

 

Regards...

Of course this is always up to the Boss...however he has repetedly stated that ImgBurn is a burning program and that he doesn't want it to be anything else.
