let's say you got 4GB ISO how. how small would it turn out after using this?

An ISZ file is data file simillar to RAR and ZIP. If you put it on a CD, Windows see it as a plain file.

or perhaps u would like to know what the other advantages?


What other benefits are there to having your data inside a compressed ISZ over a ISO file?

1) Password protection - you can protect your ISOs with AES256 encryption under shared environment, for example, transfer private ISO via internet
2) Spanned CDs&DVDs - you can split large ISOs to several small volumes, for example, spilt a DVD ISO to several CD-R size files, so you can burn them to CDs. Backup whole disk or a very large files is also benifited from this format.
3) Compression - in fact, you can backup your 703M ISZ as a single file to your CD-RW device and use it later.

well this is the apps:


WinMount is a powerful windows utility which is dedicated to managing compressed archives and image files, it can mount ZIP RAR ISO CUE MDS ISZ file to a new virtual drive, so you can use these files directly. You need not wait and extract them first. This save your time and disk space. You can also create a disk image file and mount it. You can choose if write data back to disk image file or not. This makes you away from virus. In addition, WinMount, serving as a CD-ROM OR DVD-ROM emulator, supports almost all image file formats, which including but not limited to ISO, CUE/BIN, CCD,BWT, MDS, CDI, NRG, PDI B5T and ISZ.

Winmount is a very innovative product as a CD/DVD-ROM emulator, but it's more powerful than traditional CD/DVD-ROM emulator, bacause it is able to mount ZIP, RAR, ISO files and so on, it can create a virtual drive for each compressed file so that you can use the documents inside it directly , no need to open it, so it can save your time and space.

Mounting and Unmounting compressed files

Generally speaking, Zip or Rar files need to be decompressed before we can actually use them, if the file is large, the whole decompression process will take a lot of time. But now if you have got WinMount at hand, you don't need to tolerate the boring moment spent in the decompressing process.

When you've got your WinMount ready to work, you can just right-click on the archive, select "Mount to a new drive " menu item, a few seconds later, the operating system will notify you that a new device has been found and a new drive is created and ready to work. If you open it, you can see that all the files inside the archive are ready for your use.

By WinMount, no matter how large the archive is, you can use the files inside it directly after only a few secands, you don't have to tolerate the long time for the decompressing process anymore. This powerful software can save your time Effectively

Serving as a CD/DVD-ROM emulator

WinMount can also be used as a CD/DVD-ROM emulator, it can mount many image files such as ISO, BIN to virtual drive and you can use it directly. After you mounted a iso file to a virtual drive, the OS will autoplay it just like you have put a DVD disc into you DVD-ROM.
