hi there just a quick hello and a thanks to the ultraiso creators for a great product.  i however would like to see the optimization in ultraiso tweaked a little as when i was optimzing my dvd image with it the display got corrupt of ultraiso and any other program that popped into its space for the 4 hours that ultraiso was working! (47gb optimized to 4.68gb, still too big for a dvd!!) is there any way of providing different file hashing options for the optimization such as md5 or crc32 and also perhaps a status window of optimzation progress (simlar to the extract status that ultraiso shows).  are there any plans for this?

once again hello, (some may have seen me on 911cd forums or the underground cd forum) and a big thanks to the ultraiso authors, keep up the good work

UltraISO use MD5 hash code to optimize files, and new version (V6.52 Build 529) dispalys progress information at status bar. You can get it form our website (http://www.ezbsystems.com/download.htm) right now.

Hi

I am trying out UltraISO and like it very much so far.
I am mainly interested in it because I have come across CD-images of 540MB, but when trying to copy the files on these CD's and adding only a few other, the image becomes too big to fit on a CD-R (even over 900MB),though the added files are only small.

I have not found any reference to this phenomenon so far.
I was hoping the "optimize" feature of UltraISO would be able to help.
Can you confirm and shed some light on how the Optimization feature works ?
Also, to agree with MikeY, my display (even on the latest build) froze, and in fact, I aborted the operation.
Can you give guidelines on how long one must wait approx. for an optimization process to end ?

Thanks a lot,
and thanks for what seems a great product !
