ECM (Error Code Modeler) 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:
1. Run the CD image file (i.e. filename.bin) through ECM to create an ECM file (i.e. filename.bin.ecm).
2. Compress the ECM file (i.e. filename.bin.ecm) using your favorite compression program.
3. Back up, transmit via Internet, or whatever you normally do with CD images!
4. When you want to burn the CD again, extract the original CD image from the ECM file using un-ECM.
How to use: simply drag/drop over the exe and let it go to work.
