I am reposting this because of a concern that it won't be read as a part of
another thread which is already a few days down the line.
Alex, I appreciate your help and information very much.
Further developments: I sussessfully burned that iso image with Nero 7 on
the rig with 4GBs but then I decided out of curiosity to repeat it with the
script. The burning failed. It seems I got a completely prestine, empty disk.
In the task amnager I observer memory usage mounting slightly over 2Gbs but
not as much as 2.65 Gbs that could be expected from the source iso file. I
suspect there is another issue involved. Perhaps WMI cannot handle such big
files no matter what. Nero 7 employed buffering which was evident from the
fact that the memory usage never exceeded 800 Mbs as was apparent from a
progress bar at the bottom. on this superfast quad it took about 3 min.
Thus I've decided to close the issue as far as such huge files are
concerned. I dont do any pictures or music. Data files is my only need.
I am wondering if you have any experience in handling iso files via any .NET
classes or even scripts. I do have Winimage.exe installed and it opened the
disk file momentarily and displayed the tree directory but I want to examine
other options. I've been looking for a chance to get a handle on iso files
one way or another.
Perhjaps you know of a web site where the complete file format is described
in detail, metadata including.
Many thanks.
