How can we write max data on a single cd, upto 4-5 GB is it possible?

I have seen a cd with games(full versions) IGI, IGI 2, NFS, and three more in single cd, how it is possible? on a one cd? :confused:

Not on a CD unless u develop some extra uber revolutionary compression algorithm but u can burn that much data on a DVD.

It must be a DVD and the music and videos of games must have been discarded.

1. Introduction

UHARC/GUI is a comfortable GUI (Graphical User Inerface) for UHARC that uses the new WinXP sytle. UHARC is a high compression multimedia archiver and was written by Uwe Herklotz. It's the best archiver I ever met, because it achieves a much better compression rate than RAR, ACE and of course ZIP. The UHARC release by Uwe Herklotz only contains the UHARC archiver itself, a commandline-based console application. Because I like UHARC very much, but I don't want to work with a console application all the time, I cretead a GUI for this great archiver. My GUI allows you to use all features of UHARC and I also added a completely new feature: Converting UHARC archives to SFX (Self-Extracting) archives. This feature has been realized with Nullsoft's NSIS and allows you to build simple installers. Furthermore you can open UHARC archives directly from your Windows Explorer. Here are all features in deatail:


A comfortable WinXP-styled GUI
Direct access to UHARC archives from Windows Explorer
Full UHARC v0.4 and UHARC v.06 support
Displaying UHARC's log-file on the GUI
Creating new UHARC archives
Adding files from different source directories
Adding directories from different parten directories
Using PPM, ALZ or LZP compression or storing the files uncompressed
Enabling or disabling multimedia detection/compression
Using a dictionary of up to 32.768 Kilobytes
Storing or ignoring paths
Recursing or ignoring subdirectories
Storing or ignoring empty directories
Encrypting archives with a password
Viewing the content of an existing UHARC archive
Testing the content of an existing UHARC archive
Extracting files from an existing UHARC archive to a specific directory
Decrypting password-protected archives (with correct password only)
Using or ignoring stored paths
Overwriting or keeping existing files
Converting UHARC archives to SFX archives
Building NSIS-based installers

That 9 in 1 is not compression. Thats actually a Microsoft Mount Tool which is available in MSDOS.

What it does...it lets you share *common files* which actually share a single sector on Disk but you see two files Virtually
