i wanna archieve a lot of game CDs that i have , so i used Ultra ISO and CLone CD to make images of these CDs , but these 2 programs make the disk image at approximately 800MB , and i need to shave about 70MB of that ... i even tried to compress the ISO , but i didn't find any noticeble change in the game's image capacity , can anyone help me to decrease the size of the games images ?

You're better off buying a dvd writer.

Sheesh! I was making a joke. Nope you can't shrink them. It would be more trouble than it's worth tbh. Lets say you rar them up. You'll be forever unpacking them and a result is you'll never bother with them. Just put on 5 images and you won't have any trouble.

Shrink is only for films.

There's this app called XCD, that by lowering the data buffers on the CD-R, lets you burn some 800mb.

Thank you lady and gentlemen for your replies , but i made the disk image in .ISO format instead of .BIN/.CUE format , and i got exactly what i wanted , .ISO = 700 or 730 MB , while .BIN/.QUE - 800 or more MBs...and i don't know why.

well you didnt say it was a .bin file to begin with, you said it was an iso file.
this of course changes everything, bin files are mostly 1/7 bigger than whats actually written on cd, so that means a 700 MB disc is enough for a 800 MB bin file.
iso files are different here, they are the same size as what would actually be burnt on disk.
so if you want to burn the image files themselves on a data dvd, of course you just need to
convert bin to iso.
