I have a file that i need to burn to a 700MB CDR. The file is 733MB. I used the compression tool built into windows xp, and it changed it to 721MB. Can anyone suggest to me a program that can get it down enough to fit onto the CD?

My best code is written with the delete key.
Have you tried winzip with max compression? www.winzip.com It has a free trial (that never truely expires).
Windows native compression bites. IMO the best compression utility is WinRAR. Search google and you'll find out where to download it. If that doesn't work, just truncate the file. If it doesn't fit on a CD, did you really need it anyway?
Prelude, You can try to 'overburn' the file and burn it at a slower speed like 4x
I have once burned a 800MB+ ISO image onto a 700MB cd-r. And I'm not exagerating. Try it with a rewritable first if your scared you will make a coaster.
i'm not sure what the best copmpression utility is, but if all else fails, you can use "dd" to copy half to one cd and the other half on another.
you can also trying burning as an image, but i doubt 21+ megs are reserved for the filesystem.
is it just for backup?
i seem to have GCC 3.3.4
But how do i start it?
I dont have a menu for it or anything.
Maybe your data is already so compressed that one can do little more to compress it?
Anyway, I'm not sure which compression tool would be best, but geekhaven.net has a review of a few: Compression Algorithm Comparison
Your mileage may vary, but according to them then you should try out 7-zip and see if that takes you far enough.

You can't burn CDs like that! Or do you mean create two files and then burn the files?
Do you mean you burnt the image file onto a CD or that you burnt the CD with the info in that image? ISO images are always bigger than the actual data they'll burn on the disk, although with your file it would still need some overburning.
I'd recommend getting winRAR (www.rarlab.com) and toying with the compression options.
You'll probably still need some overburning, though.

This looks like the original data was already compressed - compressing it again doesn't usually get you anywhere (if at all).
If it's say a compressed backup file, try creating an uncompressed backup, then using zip to compress the single backup file. The disadvantage with this is that if the archive becomes damaged then the whole backup could be lost, whereas the existing arrangement may only lose a single file.
There are lots of compression programs (and algorithms if you want to write something bespoke for this single case). But if you do choose something obscure, make sure you store the decompressor on the CD as well
Christian Maas has a pretty good file splitter you can downloadhere (though the file browser is a bit primitive).
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
you can do just about anything you want with "dd"...and you can burn cd's as iso's or with filesystems...and you can choose which file system to use....you can do just about anything you want.

iso (actually IS0-9660) is a filesystem. You can burn any FS you want on a CD, the only limitation is who will be able to read it.

bzip2 has always given me the best file compression.
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
use winrar and split it into two parts....done, thx.
If you need a second cd, email me and i'll mail it to you
Hmm
heres a 1tb email w/ 500 mb attachments so you can use winrar split the file in 2 and email it to yourself:
www.hriders.com
the only problem is that it might take a couple huors or even a whole day to receive the email, so if you want/need a faster one you could use winrar split it into 10 mb files and juz use gmail ..... or if you wont have an internet connection ..... not sure what to do ....

Keyboard Not Found! Press any key to continue. . .
Take a look at Filesplitter - http://www.dekabyte.com/filesplitter/download.html
It's very easy to use:
Select the file you want to split
Type in the size of each piece (in Kb, Mb, Gb)
Select Start
It's that easy, it's advertised to handle files up to 9 billion gigabytes and it creates a "reassemble" file. One click and it recreates the original file out of the pieces.
This is great for those huge files that are already compressed.
