Gemc lets you prepare CD image files (such as BIN, CDI, NRG, CCD, or similar) so that they'll compress far better in programs such as WinRAR. HERE`S HOW TO USE IT: Run the CD image file (i.e. filename.bin) through GEMC to create an ECM file (i.e. filename.bin.ecm). Compress the ECM file (i.e. filename.bin.ecm) using your favorite compression program (i.e. 7Z,RAR,ZIP..). Back up, transmit via Internet, or whatever you normally do with CD images! When you want to burn the CD again, extract the original CD image from the ECM file. space saved depends on the number of sectors with unnecessary EDC/ECC data in them, which will depend on the specific type of CD

MicroZip is a powerful file compression and encryption utility for mobile phones which allows you to create and extract compressed archives in multiple formats and encrypt sensitive information with powerful AES-256 encryption. MicroZip can create and extract ZIP,TAR,TGZ,TBZ2 archives and extract many other formats as JAR,GZ,BZ2,TBZ,WAR,BZIP2,GZIP,Z,TAZ,CBZ etc. MicroZip allows you to extract selected files without extracting the whole ZIP archive.
