The new ISZ format sounds interesting - is there any information on whether or not any of the Virtual CD/DVD utilities (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, etc.) will support it?

Hello mwb1100, the new ISZ format is not supported by Daemon-Tools or Alcohol 120% yet.

Ok, but is it supposed to be supported later and work and decompress in real time? It seems quite slow (as zip) when opening files in UltraISO. Or, it will need to decompress before mounting?Why it shows the password in open text?
What is the purpose of splitting images? Are you supposed to be able to mount split image without combining? Like one part on DVD, another on HD?
THanks.

Yes.

No, no need to decompress the image, only the sectors needed are uncompressed.

For examples:
- Store DVD images on FAT volumes (Windows 98)
- Split a DVD image to several parts and burn to CD discs, as well as burn large file (200GB, for example) to several DVD discs.

At present, UltraISO can burn multi-part ISZ images directly to one DVD/CD.
The future version will ask for segmented file location if is not found from default folder, so you can store them on different media.

Thanks,
I was asking about mounting tho.
If I can only mount split image if all segmented files are in one folder (like it is with PowerIso), it is useless - I would better use Winrar to split image.
If I could have two DVD's with segments, insert them in two drives, and then mount whole image in virtual drive(without copying anything to HD) that would be what I have been looking for!

Yes, RAR is very good for files and folders, but ISZ is more convenient for ISO CDs and DVDs:
1) Use
You can open, burn and mount ISZ directly with no need to uncompress it first
2) Backup
You can burn a whole disk with 200GB+ data to multiple DVDs, using ISZ format, no temporary space is used

Thanks for your explanation.

Is it now possible to somehow mount isz images? I cannot find anyhting on alcohol or daemon tools websites. And sorry, I still cannot understand what is the point in having image format without ability to mount it.
Thanks.

At present we are woking for an ISZ CD/DVD emulator, which will be available soon.

It will be great
, the PowerISO .daa virtual drive emulator will have noteworthy competition! If Alcohol and/or Daemon Tools add support for these .isz & .daa it will be really cool

This feature is ready now for UltraISO V8.51 and newer versions.

Really no temporary space? What should I do with the *ISZ-files, if not saving them to hard disk before I can burn them? Isn’t that a form of temporary space too?
It would be great, if I could burn a whole disk with 200GB+ data to multiple DVDs on the fly!
And it would be great, if I could use a limitation to disk space like I can do this when creating ISZ-files. I think that I can choose to burn for example only 3.5 GB to one disk. And in some situations it would be better, if I can set up that there should stay 300 MB free on every disk for example.

Hello User 69, ISZ format is capable for doing that, but this feature is not realized by UltraISO yet.

Thank you, xoben! Do you know, when we are to expect this feature?
