Why would I want to convert an ISO with Qwix?
A09: There are a lot of ISOs that were created with ISO programs that didn’t make proper ISOs, and didn’t take advantage of available optimizations. Problems in ISOs can include invalid structure placement, too much padding after directory entries, incorrectly calculated directory table offsets, and invalid directory table sizes. The problems can cause many ISO extract programs to incorrectly extract the files, often manifesting as missing files, and can also prevent the ISO from booting or receiving “dirty disc” errors when burned to disc. Often, the ISO appears to be “mostly” correct, but in fact is missing one or more files when extracted. Qwix has smart ISO loading routines that can workaround these problems and load the ISO, allowing extraction or FTP transfers. Converting an ISO with Qwix cleans up all of these problems and makes a clean ISO that can be used with any ISO program capable of reading proper ISOs (meaning it supports the use of AVL trees in the directory tables).
