    there are some more powerfull compression methods but they are not usable for everyday work as they are way too slow.

    there is no way 3gb of data can be compressed to 250k. there were some files floating around packed like this with special compressors but they were all damaged altho they would show as being uncompressed properly.

    This iso is not installable, you have to mount it to play. The original setup is different and is not compressed. But I dont have the setup files.

    winrar had multimedia option in older versions, now it should auto recognize file types. you can't compress compressed images (jpg) that much tho, i bet you compressed bmp or raw straight from your camera.

    I use winrar. 7zip WILL give better compression, but it takes much longer to compress and extract than rar archives. imo it's not worth it.
