Compress Multiple iso Images
I have a lot of iso images that I want to compress. When imaging a disk, in Toast 10, I have the option to compress it which then gives me a smaller, .dmg file. This is fine with me, however, I do not want to go through each image individually. Is there an application that allows me to select all the images I want to compress and just hit start?
Thanks for the help.

P.S. Please don't post solutions such as "just burn them to DVDs" or "go purchase an external HD" because I have thought about this and decided against it as it is unnecessary if I can simply shrink the size of my data.
A couple solutions come to mind:
- try using Oracle VM Manager. It will let you change cd images during an installation
- use Oracle Enterprise Linux, which is available on a dvd
- create a dvd image from your 5 cd iso images
- put the 5 iso images on a network server, and do a network install
- extract the contents of the 5 iso's onto an nfs or http server, and create a pv guest using this server

Installing Redhat Linux VM using multiple ISO images
Hi,
How can I install a Redhat Virtual Machine using multiple ISO images which are in my hard disk in Oracle VM Server.
I did install Windows and Oracle Enterprise Linux successfully from ISO s because they are all single ISO images.
Windows XP ISO is just 1 CD
Windows Server ISO is just 1 DVD
Oracle Enterprise Linux ISO is 1 DVD
Redhat Linux I don't have a ISO dvd. I have 5 cd s of ISO images.
When i start creating a virtual machine with the following command
virt-install hvm name=rhel432bit_vm1 ram=2048 bridge=xenbr0 vif-type=ioellmu file=/OVS/running_pool/rhel432bit_vm1/System.img file-size=10 vnc vnclisten=0.0.0.0 cdrom=/u01/RHEL432BIT/cd1.iso
Virtual machine is getting created succeffuly and started installing the OS. But whenever it requires a 2nd CD it is giving the message
"Please Insert Redhat Enterprise Linux ES disc 2 to continue"
How to overcome this issue.

How to change screen refresh rate in windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 iso image using dism
sir when i install windows 7sp1 and windows 8.1 then after the completion of setup when first time windows boots up then task bar is not shown and display is not clear and when i check under monitor settings the screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz and when i
set the screen refresh rate from 60 Hertz to 75 Hertz, then everything is OK, plz tell me why this happens?
why windows 7 sp1 and windows 8.1 automatically sets the screen refresh rate to 60Hertz instead of 75Hertz.
how can i set screen refresh rate 75 Hertz permanently in iso image using DISM ?That is not a function of DISM. Resolution and refresh rate capabilities can be determined by multiple causes. Drivers are one, another is that most modern displays will report their capabilities to Windows.
You can specify display settings with an answer file however:
<Display>
<HorizontalResolution>640</HorizontalResolution>
<VerticalResolution>480</VerticalResolution>
<ColorDepth>16</ColorDepth>
<RefreshRate>60</RefreshRate>
</Display>

Correcting for white balance in high-ISO images
I just started using a Whibal card, and have a number of high ISO images that I'm having a hard time correcting in Aperture. Because of the grain, the white balance varies widely as I move my dropper across the card.
Whether I use a white balance reference or not, how are others extrapolating gray data across multiple pixels in an image in Aperture?
In the future, can I take a low ISO shot of a white balance reference area, even if it is out of focus or exhibits camera shake across that area?Yes, you can take a lower ISO shot with motion blur and get your white balance settings that way.
I'm surprised though that with the grainy area it would make such a difference that you can't even get an accurate white balance number. -
VM installation with multiple .iso files
Hello All:
I have a windows image which spread across 3 iso files. So I started to install the VM from the first iso files, then it got to a point where it ask me for the 2nd iso file.
This is where I am stuck. Does anyone successfully install a VM with multiple iso files?
What is the correct procedure to do this installation?
thanks,
Peter
Edited by: user3229804 on Jun 21, 2011 11:45 AMFirst thing, have you already imported (into VM Manager) the other CD/DVD's into separate .iso files?
Then during installation, from open VNC Console window, make sure that you resize the window so that the lower portion is visible. There is a drop down button that will let you select a different .iso file, and a button next to it that says something like "Change Disk". This effectively lats you swap the DVD for the installation process to continue.
Screen shots would be helpful here, but the key is resizing the VNC Console window, because duringmy install, the default window size cropped these buttons out.
Hope this helps. -
[Solved] how do i build my ISO image with archiso?
hi all
i've been following this wiki and it's been going really well (it hasn't gone wrong...). but the wiki page just sort of stops halfway through the configuration bit
a google search brought me to this page which suggests using the "build.sh" script located in my chroot environment's /tmp/releng/ directory.
running this script returns the error "build.sh: line 207: syntax error near unexpected token '('
line 207 of the file reads:
paste -d"\n" <(sed "s|%ARCH%|i686|g" ${script_path}/aitab.${_iso_type}) \
i don't really know much about scripts so i can't see what's wrong
any advice?
sorry if i've missed a wiki or something n00bish like that. also i'm aware that someone who doesn't know what they're doing shouldn't be attempting archiso but i thought it would be a fun learning experience
here's the full build.sh in case it is helpful:

from inside the chroot
posting this for my own reference and in case it helps others, will mark as solved
thanks again for your help

Why can't I open multiple sparse image files at the same time in FCPX?
I work in a multiple editor enviroment, where we have hundreds of different projects. They are all divided into sparse image files to keep them all separated. I used to be able to mount multiple sparse image files and see them all in FCPx. But recently, FCPx upon opening, will close out all but one sparse image. The images are still mounted to the OSx but FCPx will not recognize them. I can only open one sparse image at a time. I am needing to export multiple projects at the end of the day, and can't batch export or send them all to compressor because I can open up multiple projects.

Hello,
just some suggestions I`d like to see to speed up my set up and output..
i`d like to import multiple placed images into illustrator CS4. So open dialogue box place, and multiple select images for placing.
regards output save as...
Can we output multiple layers into a single PDF in illustrator? Or multiple layers into single JPEGS from illustrator with one command instead of individually saving out each layer... would be a huge time saver for me.I create different artworks on different layers..
Currently I output each completed layer individually and then right click those outputted jpegs in their output folder and choose "combine supported files into acrobat..." to make a single acrobat file..i`d like to do this right in the illustrator "save for PDF" dialogue box. Adding something in the Save for PDF output dialogue box to save layers to one PDF as multiple pages would be a helpful time saver..
I`d also like to be able to CTRL click multiple layers and go " save as..." only those layers get saved out..., bridge -FILE/PLACE into ai, goes to separate layers in AI as placed.
in PS, bridge/tools/ps/load files into ps layers.. CS4.
just using right click in explorer on individual PDF docs from layers saved from PS to combine to PDF. but cannot output multiple pds from layers in AI in CS4. -
Hi! Hoping someone might be able to help with an odd problem. I haven't found anything in the forums or the web that match my symptoms.
I've been using Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook retina over the past year to successfully create a number of single sided DVDs with menus, chapters, and all that. I usually make a copy of a previous DVD project, and then replace video assets with the new files and transcodes, move and rename chapter markers, and rework the menus in Photoshop. I then will build ISO images for both DVD and Blu-Ray (both single-sided), and use those to burn many copies of each DVD for clients.
This week, while developing one of these projects, when trying to build a DVD ISO image that looked like it would fit on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the "layer break" message ("The chosen layer break does not satisfy dual layer requirements. To fix this, either set a new layer break manually, or choose to set layer break automatically.") because (I'm guessing) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (the Build screen now shows about 5GB of material are in the project). This is the first time I've seen that message - usually Encore just tells me the material is too big for the DVD.
I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), reverted and replaced the transcoded files, and now the DVD build screen shows that there are about 700MB free on a 4.7 GB DVD. But I still have not been able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, disc), without getting the "layer break" message. I also now get this same layer break message when trying to "Preview from Here" any menu, killing my ability to preview the DVD menus in Encore.
Just to see what would happen, I chose an 8.4GB Dual Layer DVD, and chose "manual" instead of "automatic" for the layer break selection, but never got the layer break selection dialog box, just the "layer break" error message.
I typically build both DVD and Blu-Ray images from the same material in the same project. I use different transcoding settings for each, and I have been able to build a Blu-Ray ISO without this "layer break" error on the Blu-Ray build (which is about 24.5GB when built). And as I mentioned before, this is the first project on which I've even seen this layer break message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'd rather not recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I may have to.
Thanks
JonThe total project being small enough may mean you have one layer that is too big. Both layers have to be smaller than half the disk, right?
Be sure you "run as administrator" for dual layer projects.
Encore may set the layer break correctly if it finds a good place, but there are numerous complaints about it being unreliable.
Build to a folder (no layer break is set), then use ImgBurn to build and ask to be prompted for layer break. ImgBurn is also unreliable under some circumstances.
The most frequent problems appear to be when there is no good location for a break. Do a search for "layer break imgburn" and you will see a variety of strategies.

How do I show multiple rollover images on a page inserted dynamically (pulled out of a sql database table) using Dreamweaver’s Repeat Region. Example: I have different products each one associated (through their productID) with two images (one that’s showing in the page and one for the rollover effect) that are pulled from a database using Dreamweaver’s Recordset. So I want to end up with a page containing row after row of images(one for every product).When moused over each image will reveal the second (rollover) image for the same product which in turn can be a link(the image itself ) that when clicked leads to a detailed page with more information about the product the image is associated with. To show row after row with images for the different products in the database table I am using Dreamweaver’s Insert Rollover Image command and then the Repeat Region – I have no problem to complete the steps, to insert the image and the rollover one at once and set the paths so they are pulled dynamically depending on the productID they are associated with .I have also no problem to apply the Repeat Region so not only the first image associated with the first product in the table is shown but all of them-a routine and standard procedure when using the Repeat Region to dynamically generate and display multiple rows of data. However, when I preview the page the rollover effect is lost –the images are shown but when moused over the second image does not show. The problem is caused when the Repeat Region is applied-once again I am allowed to apply it but the rollover stops working, a kind of interference. ANY SOLLUTION PLEASE, ANY WORK AROUND.
I gotta tell you, using multiple images for rollover effects is going to be a big challenge in your dynamic scenario.
If this were my product page, I would use thumbnails with a bit of CSS opacity or filters to desaturate and make them full opacity/color on mouse over. Nice effect with much less bandwidth. Easily done globally with CSS code.
Two examples:

How do I convert my Windows 7 Folder to an ISO image to burn to my USB Flash drive (16GB) in order to use Bootcamp Assistant to partition my MacBook Pro for Mac and Windows?
Sorry - confusing - My question has NOT been solved yet - can anyone help?

Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.
When I try to install Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.
I purchased Windows 8.1 Pro, I downloaded the .exe requested file from a Windows computer, performed the steps recommended by Microsoft in order to create the ISO file saving it on a flash drive as well and, as a precaution, on a DVD too.
I performed the "Download the latest Windows Support Software from Apple" step directly into another flash drive and having it completed BootCamp displays the following message:
"The installer disc could not be found – Insert the Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. "
So happens that I have tried this using the DVD, pendrive and also copying the ISO file to the desktop and to the "Documents" folder as recommended in certain websites, but none of this has made the process go ahead. What can I do?
My equipment is a mid 2011 iMac running Mac OSX 10.10.1.Dear Loner T,
thanks to my coworker, the solution was unpacking from that ISO file which I had recorded (according to the steps indicated by Microsoft), but now using Nero software (Windows) and then recording by the most common way in a new DVD. See the screen of the first DVD before unpacking:
This true saga only demonstrated that the generated ISO file as an option at the time of the Windows installation, is not for direct installation through BootCamp, and as a I could check, even for direct installation on a Windows PC. See the last DVD burned using Nero and again recorded:
The execution of BootCamp, was perfect
Thank you for attention to my problem! -
Can I store multiple bootable images in the same partition?
Can I store multiple bootable images in the same partition or do they each need their own partition? I am going to use disk utility to create a copy of my current OSX 10.5 system on a new external drive before upgrading to Snow Leopard. Then I want to create a bootable copy of Snow Leopard. Can I create one partion large enoough to hold both images or will I need to create a separate partition for each. I have done booting off of an external hard drive and it works well. I do not know how the system sees this and thus if I store both images on the same partition, will it give me both as a boot option at startup or will it see only one?
They will need separate partitions to be bootable

Is it possible to upgrade a G4 Xserve with an ISO image of a Leopard DVD?
I have a G4 Xserve (tray load) with only a CD drive. Leopard is on DVD only. I created an ISO image of the Leopard DVD but it will not work. Not sure why. I copied it to the Hard Drive of the Xserve and also tried it from an external drive (not booted from that drive however).
Any suggestions? Was trying to avoid booting into target disk mode. I only have an Intel laptop and not sure this would work anyway either.
All assistance is appreciated.
LisaDid not work for me. Tried copying it directly to Xserve desktop, to a partitioned drive, to an external firewire drive. Nothing.
Sharing out the laptop DVD drive and booting to target mode did work, however. Very very VERY slow, like over 3 hours slow, but it worked.
All up and running now.
thanks again,
Lisa
