Title: game squishing. Post by: mod skwod on May 19, 2008, 04:53:06 PM so i have an external drive ive been saving various xbox games to transfer to my box when i get the notion.i was wondering if it would hurt to rar the games for storage since it does trim a bit off the file size and just unrar them when im ready to transfer them,or copy the rar files to a dvd for safe keeping to later open and transfer.

however burning them to disc *might* affect a big file i only say this becuase it has happend before the bigger the file and the longer it takes to transfer (ie burn to disc copy to usb device) the more chance of curroption use the sfv feature of winrar, it checks a file to see if it has the same contents coming out as going in if you dont have that feature, then rar and you shouldnt have any trouble at all, but there is that small chance something could go wrong if it were me i would rar just so you know, gotta save that space ;) |
