Convert I01 to ISZ

Understanding i01 and isz file formats

i01 files are part of a split disc image set, typically created by DVD backup software like DVD Shrink or ImgBurn. These files are segments of a larger ISO image, often accompanied by .i00, .i02, and a main .mds or .mdf file that contains metadata about the split images.

isz files are compressed ISO images developed by EZB Systems for UltraISO. The ISZ format reduces the size of standard ISO files and can include encryption and password protection, making it a popular choice for efficient storage and secure distribution of disc images.

How to convert i01 to isz

To convert i01 (and its related split files) to isz, you must first reassemble the split image into a single ISO file. Then, you can convert the ISO to ISZ format. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Reassemble the split image: Use ImgBurn or Alcohol 120% to open the .mds or .mdf file associated with your .i01, .i00, etc. files. This will allow you to create a single ISO file.
2. Convert ISO to ISZ: Use UltraISO to open the ISO file and save it as an ISZ file.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open ImgBurn or Alcohol 120%.
2. Go to File → Open and select the .mds or .mdf file.
3. Use the software to create a single ISO file from the split image set.
4. Launch UltraISO.
5. Go to File → Open and select the newly created ISO file.
6. Go to File → Save As and choose ISZ as the output format.

Best software for i01 to isz conversion

• ImgBurn (for reassembling split images)
• UltraISO (for converting ISO to ISZ)

Both tools are reliable and widely used for disc image management and conversion.

Summary

Converting i01 to isz involves reassembling split image files into a single ISO and then converting that ISO to ISZ using UltraISO. This process ensures your disc images are compressed and, if needed, encrypted for secure storage or sharing.
