Compress an existing image?
Updated: 04 Jun 2010 | 4 comments
I wasn't paying attention to size and created an image that won't fit on a single DVD. I didn't compress it durring creation, I don't want to span 2 DVDs and it's just a bit over.
Is there a way to compress an image that already exists short of restoring it to a hard drive creating the image again with compression?
