well u have to have the original iso file u ripped...
and then open it with WinRAR

there are often huge dummy files in the umd to force the real files onto the edge of the umd where it spins the fastest. but i cant remember exactly where they are. mayb other ppl here can help u, or u can do some research on google =)

thanks. but what i mean is, when i open the ISO file, and delete the update folder, how do i get it back to an ISO so i can compress it? or does the original ISO delete the update files also?
