A whole generation (perhaps two generations) of Windows users have grown up with WinRAR. An untold number of questionable downloads (and uploads) have been processed through this venerable file compression and archive utility since its debut in 1993. It's still going strong today. The only limitation appears to be formats, since WinRAR still only compresses in the Zip and RAR formats.

Don't worry, there is a tool called ISOMaster which is used to reduce the ISO size. You can reduce the size of the ISO image to fit into your USB drive and make it bootable with Unetbootin software and install OpenSUSE. Install ISOMaster On Ubuntu ISOMaster is available in Ubuntu default repositories.
But honestly, what more are you likely to need?
The WinRAR Way
WinRAR has a full feature set. Password protection and encryption using an AES 256-bit key all come standard, as does a command line giving access to tall the major features available in the GUI. This makes it a favorite of systems admins everywhere as they leverage WinRAR for scripting and automation. How to publish video on imovie.
All this goodness is cheap, but not free. You can download WinRAR for a free 40-day full-featured trail. At that point, you'll need to register to continue using it. That's because the RAR format itself is not freeware.
The Formats
Zip is familiar to almost anyone who's touched a computer in the last 30 years or so. It was created in 1989 by engineer Phil Katz. The first implementation was in a utility called PKzip, but zip has since been embraced, extended, adapted, and repackaged by almost all other vendors after being released into public domain. Zip has been evolved and been developed over the decades into something far beyond the original simple file-deflator. The standard now supports strong encryption and other file compression algorithms with even smaller final file sizes. One could do a lot worse than to rely on zip as the compression and archiving file format of choice. It's a grandpa, but a grandpa who still goes to raves.
RAR is almost as old as zip, but isn't quite as open. The compression algorithm has not been released as open-source, and remains restricted from reverse engineering. RAR emerged from Russia shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union, and thus takes name from glorious and heroic father Eugene Roshal (Roshal Archive). The early advantage of RAR was filespanning. A RAR-compresssed archive could span several files, which if combined would have been larger than the limits of the zip format in use at the time. This ability to split an archive over several files of manageable size made RAR popular in the days of slow dial-up internet service. Today, RAR handles archive file sizes of up to 8 exbibytes (9,223,372,036,854,775,807 bytes). File spanning isn't as important with the high-speed internet connections of today.
WinRAR handles both ZIP and RAR with ease. If you're creating archives and compressing even the largest files (8 exbibytes. Wow.), you probably don't need much in the way of other formats.
Pros:
- Intuitive Interface: WinRAR presents a simple face to the world. It's quick and easy to use, and uncluttered with fuzzy visual flourishes, ads, or unnecessary features. It also supports drag-and-drop.
- Command Line: To sysadmins, this is a critical feature. It's far harder to automate GUI-only tools, regardless of what some OS vendors would have you believe. Script around WinRAR to come up with a file archiving or backup app that really works for your own purposes, and set it up to run in the background as you wish.
- Ability to Create Self-Extracting Archives: This is a cool capability wherever it's found. Good to be able to click once, get the files inflated, and get an install going.
- 256-Bit AES Encryption: 256-bit is still pretty strong. How strong? Reports state that a brute-force attack on a 256-bit AES encrypted file would take a supercomputer the size of 10 basketball courts running for the entirety of all existence to go through half the possible combinations. Thus, your diary is likely safe from your little sister's peering eyes, unless she has a computer the size of a planet, or happens to know all your passwords are names of characters from The Flintstones.
- Multi-Format De-compresion Capability: WinRAR can decompress not only RAR and zip, but also their more obscure, hipsters cousins ARJ, TAR, ISO, LZH, UUE, GZ, 7z, ACE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, EXE, zx, and Z.
Cons:
- Compression Formats: It's unlikely you'll really have a need to compress something in the UUE format, and if you do, you probably already have some native utility to do it. But if your daily duties include archiving files in anything other than zip or RAR, WinRAR might not be for you.
- Not Freeware: Because the RAR algorithm is still closed-source commercial software, WinRAR needs to charge something for their product. The prices aren't that expensive, however. And anyway, it's always good to support the efforts of your friendly software development project people.

WinRAR has remained a strong and popular choice for good reasons: It does its work with a minimum of fuss, and it's remained supported and ad-free for close to 25 years. The free 40-day trial period will let you decide if it's the tool for you. Chances are, you'll find many great uses for it once you hear the WinRAR roar.
NOTE: This tutorial will show you how to make your PSP ISO files smaller by using UMDGen v4 to shrink the file into a cso and also removing files you don't need in the ISO. Pay attention to see what you CAN delete, because if you delete something wrong, your ISO will become useless, until the file is put back. This tutorial will shrink a 1.16 g ISO file into a 519 MB CSO file. Refer to the bottom of the tutorial for known files/folders not to remove… This tutorial will possibly give you a feel of different folders or files that are unnecessary in your ISO.
Things You Need:
1. A PSP ISO File.
2. UMDGen v4 - http://rapidshare.com/files/64157024/UMDGen_v4.rar.html
How To Make Iso File Smaller Rar
3. A Brain.4. (optional) A GTA: LCS disc, to better follow me in my process of deleting files off the disc.
Step 1: (Preparation)
*Download UMDGen v4 if you don't already have it. Once it is downloaded, drag your ISO file onto the window, and it will look like this:
*Ok. Here we are with our full ISO file, ready to make it rip files off of it to shrink it as much as possible.
This is a full ISO file at, and it hasn't been messed with in anyway.
*Actually, you don't even need half of these files to play the game. Such as the Music files, loading screen pictures, video clips, or different icons, cutscene music. So if you wouldn't care for any audio, and are possibly playing the game through IR Shell, and listening to music that way, you can delete the whole ‘Audio' folder.
*It just depends of what files YOU don't have to have in your ISO.
Step 2: (Useless Stuff)
*First, we will be looking at useless stuff that you simply don't need in your ISO.
*The first files to get rid of are right at the top. Notice the ‘SYSDIR' folder, open it up. Inside it has this:
*The ‘UPDATE' folder is useless, it holds the files that you use to update your PSP to the firmware needed to play the UMD. You can't even access it through the ISO file so it's useless. Delete the ‘UPDATE' folder.
*The next file is the ‘EBOOT.BIN' file, DON'T MESS WITH THIS FILE. You need it, don't mess with it.
*The next file is the ‘BOOT.BIN' file, you don't need this, I am not too sure what it does, but I've played games without it, no problems.
*After that, your ISO has already shrinked from 1.16 g to 810 MB! That's about 396 MB taken off. And it is still in ISO format!
*Next we are looking at the ‘ANIM' folder. I do not need this folder, it includes the CUTS.DIR and CUTS.IMG files. These make you able to start a new game with the iso/cso file. I do not need this, however, because i already have savedata of the game and i have no plan on starting a new game. But it is a pretty nice file to delete, i think about 35 MB or so.
*Next the ‘LUASCRIPTS' folder, I think it is used for hacking online and stuff, but it doesn't affect your gameplay, other than hacking I guess. With doing that, the ISO file is this big:
*Next is the ‘TEXT' folder. Depending on whatever language you want, you can delete all the other language .GXT files.
*Next is the ‘TXD' folder. You can delete that. Your loading screens and stuff might look a little weird at times, but its because the files that make pictures appear and stuff are deleted. So I guess this can be an optional file to delete.
*Once you have all that deleted (including the ‘TXD' folder), Your ISO file shall now be 744 MB. From a 1.6 g ISO file to a 744 MB ISO file. This cut off about 464 MB from the ISO file.
*Oh yeah, you can delete the ‘ICON1.PMF' All it does is show clips from the game while you look at the file under the game tab in the memory stick. You can delete it by clicking on the ‘PSP_GAME' folder, and it will pop up in the window.
*But wait! We still aren't through, you can look at Step 3 to remove stuff you might want or might not. Move on to Step 4 to convert your ISO file into a CSO file.
Step 3: (Stuff You Might Want)
*The ‘AUDIO' folder contains different files that represent different parts of the game that have audio. Such as ‘CUTSCENE' or ‘MUSIC' if you don't want audio during the cutscenes or you don't want to listen to the music off the game.
Iso File How To Install
Step 4: (ISO to CSO Format)
*Now that you have ripped off everything you don't want and don't need on your ISO file, it is now to convert the file into .cso format. So what you do now is look at the picture: and go to save and save as .cso. Then name the file to whatever you want. Once you do that, all you have to do is wait for the file to save and convert to .cso. And my GTA LCS .cso file turned out like this:
*So Before and After of this process:
Things Not to Delete:
*The ‘DATA' folder.
*The ‘MODELS' folder.
*The ‘PSPHR' folder with the file: GAME.DTZ.
*The ‘MOVIE' folder.
*You can delete the 'ANIM' folder with the CUTS.DIR and CUTS.IMG , but it will prevent you from loading the game without a previous savedata file of the game, or start a new game when already in a loaded game. But you can start another LOAD game.
