Optimize archive on Context Menu

[Claude Renaud]

Hi all,

As PowerArchiver Pro is able to mount ISO file thank to Virtual drives, what about using this facility to mount other archive type as .NRG for example ?

Yes, that would be great…! Hoped it was available in the 2010 version.
Anyway, let’s cross our fingers it will be available someone in the near future.

Any developmonts on mounting other filetypes, like .bin, .nrg ?

thanks

there will be some cool changes to VD for PA 2011…

… as to the bin, most of them will work if you renamed .bin file to .iso… forgot the details, maybe multisession ones will not…

I very vaguely remembered that someone told me about this a long time ago, so I already gave that a try.
PA gave some kind of warning and cud not handle the file (I forgot what kind of warning though).

Assuming I got it wrong after all, went on to search and install an ‘ISO-program’ to handle the bin-files.
As far as I cud see my installed Nero cud only handle iso files.

Yes, I confess…
I still have Nero installed. I have not thoroughly tested PA enough to see whether it could replace Nero, for burning video DVD’s and audio CD’s. :o

80-90% of the Nero I don’t need (all the multimedia-stuff): I use its burning features only. Am using v.8.x and don’t update it anymore. Already slightly doubted when updating fm 6 to 7. It got bloatware and most of the reactions on the lite version are negative.

So, maybe at the next fresh Windows-install, I skip it and see whether PA can handle all the burning.

Anyway, that aside… not handling the bin-file triggered me to post a comment again on this thread.

You know what tool is excellent for that? Virtual Clone Drive. It’s free also.
