Gemc

Achieving optimal compression for various files, especially larger ones, is a goal in itself and it can be achieved through the use of some utilities that are tailored for this particular purpose. Dealing with already compressed files, like disc images, can be a bit difficult, but there are software solutions that can handle them as well.

Among the dedicated tools of this kind, Gemc provides in a very small package all the necessary functions to make these data images ready for archival with WinRAR, WinZIP, 7-Zip or other similar programs.

This application is able to handle a variety of formats which include the most well known disc image types like ISO, NRG, BIN or CDI. What Gemc does is to basically optimize the file you select and turn it into an ECM file that can be then packed with a specialized utility to shrink its size so it can fit a specific storage media or be suited for transfer over the Internet.

The interface of Gemc is simple, without any bells and whistles, as it aims to make everything very easy for the user. Thus, you can select a file in a supported format then press the 'ecm file' button to have it transformed on the spot.

The software can be used for decompressing the ECM files as well and it has a dedicated button for this function. The details about the process are presented inside a separate window, so you can view the progress of the analysis and encoding procedures.

You have the possibility to suspend or terminate the operation at any time and there is a report area where you can check out technical information concerning the process. To conclude, Gemc proves to be a good tool that takes care of its job speedily and with optimal results.
