Great write. The only caveat is I think they mostly support ZIP only. Several years after and yet this article still compells comments from readers!
Kudos for this well put analysis. Since I burn the archives onto DVDs, splitting is a must have feature for me. I downloaded an ubuntu image that was about mb and after compressing become 2 gb And apparently it has compressed by kgb archiver. So when you compress it, it reduces ridiculously in size. IZArc version 4. I wish you had used more than a maximum 2. But that GB is still way larger than the sizes used in any of the tests performed.
We would have needed to compress that GB 30 separate times and decompressed it another 30 times, that is simply unworkable. In my opinion using the sizes we did in all the tests are far closer to what the average user is going compress, compressing the sizes you mention are rare and for niche purposes only. We could have used an i7 system with 16GB of RAM, but again, that is unrepresentative of what the majority of people have.
Some sites like to test on high end hardware, we like to test or normal hardware. How about compressing 4K series? One episode has 20GB already. Who would not compress over GB, omg …. Thank for the amazing results i was surfing the internet nearly 3 days ago to find this issue ……. Thanks for the throughout article. Optimal settings which strike a balance will differ with each user because I might prefer a bit more compression over speed, you might prefer a bit more speed over compression, so there is no real definitive best compromise that suites everybody.
Also things like the speed of your computer will have a big say, the faster your PC, the higher the compression ratio you can use without sacrificing too much extra time…. So, I stopped using it. I like WinRAR and personally use it. I mentioned this before but Bandizip has a limitation with 7z files. Try creating a text file and store it to 7z archive. Then open it and try to edit, rename, or delete the file.
This automatically makes me unable to use Bandizip as my main archiving program. I think every other archiver lets you edit the contents of 7z files. Bandizip also does not offer file name encryption for 7z. Create a text file and add it to 7z, password protect it, and choose encrypt file names. Then open the 7z and drag another file to the window and save it. Close and re-open. The file name encryption is gone. You have to create a whole new archive.
Very stupid. I think Haozip is the best free one. It has good features and performance and none of these flaws, no disadvantages that I can see. In my experience, RAR is by far a more popular compression format. I know it opens a whole lot of formats; and compresses a bunch, too. I sent him one of my angriest but not abusive, mind you; but just really upset emails ever. It almost put me off of IZArc, after all these years.
But all that notwithstanding, I always thought that IZArc was one of the better ones; some say the best. Before IZArc started all this adware nonsense, it was one of the free archivers I would recommend to people because it was easy to use and supported quite a lot of formats. Offering crapware which you cannot opt out of crosses the line for me though. When you try to install, the first screen offers crapware, click Cancel and it cancels the IZArc install totally, click Next and it installs the crapware so you cannot choose not to install it.
Doing this in windows 7, I downloaded the files and the put 3 together in a folder on my desktop….. Thank you very much for this nice tests and article.
And maybe thanks for the giveaway. Regards Sugart. See here, please: bandisoft. This bug was present in v12 too, but not in v13, figure it! If this was a test of 25 archivers it may have been included, but the 15 here are all far more well known and used. Apart from popping up in the odd giveaway and the advertising when it came out, MagicRAR is almost completely unknown. If you look at download portals like CNET it gets no more than 2 or 3 downloads a WEEK, as for search engine traffic to the website, there appears to be maybe up to 5 visitors a day.
Great review Raymand. I too like 7zips more than other softwear to zip and unzip. I have been using winrar on my old laptop for 1, days without a licensing key. Glad to welcome you back and looking much forward to great reviews and hacking!
I use 7Zip in my work exclusively as I can run backups from a script upon completion another script calls Fast Copy to save another copy in a secondary location…. Very nice comparison dear. How much compression you achieve will depend not only the on the archive type you create, but on the application you use to compress it and the settings you use. We stuck with popular applications at their default compression settings to simplify things.
Rather than messing with some of the usual file types here — like Word DOCX documents, which already use a form of Zip compression, and JPG images, which also use a form of compression — we decided to compress a few installed PC games. First, we installed Bastion and compressed its folder — about MB in size of music, graphics, executable files, and various different types of documents:.
If you want to compress something to use as little space as possible, you should definitely use 7z. You can even crank up the compression settings to save even more space, although it will take longer to compress and decompress. Overall, Zip and RAR came pretty close to each other.
In short, we recommend:. However, some archive formats are more interoperable and work out-of-the-box on various operating systems without installing third-party software. Windows is the biggest stick-in-the-mud here — it only supports Zip files, so Zip is the most universal format. If you work with Mac or Linux, you could use a. But, if you want the best compression ratio possible, 7z is the way to go. All compression benchmarks are rough. Use Google Fonts in Word.
Use FaceTime on Android Signal vs. Customize the Taskbar in Windows What Is svchost. Best Smartwatches. Best Gaming Laptops. Best Smart Displays. Best Home Security Systems. Best External Solid State Drives. Best Portable Chargers. It's basically dumping a game, then changing the last 3 letters of the file name. Website Find. Hahaha I needed a good laugh, thx brother. Go Bronies!!! I always used GCZ for my library and never got any problems. That also means the uncompressed ISO won't match anymore after unscrubbing, but the important areas e.
Never had any problems and still saved a lot of GBs Jhonn, you are brilliant sir!!! That info will help a lot mate!!!! Jhonn First I would like to thank you for answering my question in the first place. Or am I just looking at this incorrectly? If it is command line, do you have any recommendation on syntax for a bulk scrub of GameCube ISOs within the same directory?
