winiso vs. ultraiso


Question

i'm backup up alot of stuff right now but forgot to rename the cds in order to keep them quite sorted. so i have several images (iso,ccd,cue/bin etc) on my harddisk now which are all named the same. i found out that i can edit the name and re-save them with winiso or ultraiso. my question: which ones of the two programs is better? they seem quite easy to use and both very similar. does one of them have any advantages or disadvantages?

thanks for the upcoming replys.

WinISO does something which I grew to find very irritating. It would make the name of all files it created all CAPS. I kept on having to rename them to their small characters every single time. Another thing which I didn't like was the way you could add directories/files, there wasn't any pane to drag/drop files/folders from; you had to select files separately, it didn't allow multiple folder selection too. UltraISO has this, which makes it THAT much quicker to use. The support for more file types in UltraISO is useful, although I only use it to create ISOs. Haven't tried opening any other format, so I don't know its compatibility with the other formats. If only UltraISO allowed extraction of boot files from CDs (like what ISObuster does), UltraISO would be the best CD-image editor IMO.

cheers!

Good points... What I meant by opening other formats was that I made a ISO of a DVD with Alcohol 120% and it only would do it in the mds/mdf format so WinISO doesn't open it but UltraISO does.

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
