Hi! (excuse me for my bad english :))
I have one problem. Recently I burn one ISO image with size 653 MB. But, the size of information in this ISO is a 1125 MB. My question: How to create ISO a less 700MB, or How to include several CD's in one ISO file?
Sorry, you can't. The .ISO is an image, it is not like a file that you can compress, spit, etc. etc.
Your .ISO probably comes from a DVD. The only way which enables you to burn a large (>700 MB) .ISO is that .ISO dimension is *slightly* larger than 700 MB, but fits on a 700 MB CD (Max=2352/2048*700 MB).
There's no way you can fit a such large ISO on a CD.
Sorry
1. You can fit 1000+ MB on a cd .... course you either need (a) 900MB discs and a crapload of overburning or (b) you need to have the fancy Plextor drive which throws the standards out and burns using a proprietory method (which is kinda pointless)
2. The sizes of the Office CDs are as follows:
Office 2000 ... 506MB
Office XP ... 450MB
Office 2003 AIO ... 569MB
Office 2003 (1-2-3-4-5] ... 400-227-198-154-78 = 1157 (not 1144 as per your first screenshot)
3. Aldaco is correct, you wont be able to burn that kinda quantity onto a CD .... as for screenshot.... consider the following:
Managed to fit almost 10GB onto my Windows2000 cds -- i.e., dont trust every picture you see.

Hi! (again, I want to excuse me for my bad english)
"You can fit 1000+ MB on a cd .... course you either need (a) 900MB discs and a crapload of overburning..." - I know this. But, I burn this ISO file with Nero Burning ROM and normal CD-RW (Teac) on a normal 700 Mb rewritable disk.
P.S. /The ISO file is created by one guy, who not write any e-mail./

Not sure if.you know this or not but WinISO is capable of opening CAB files and such (compressed files) and when it lists the total filesize of the ISO (as stated to be 1144MB in the above picture), it gives you the entire size of all the files on the disc taking into account that compression factor (which usually gives 40-50% increase in theoretical capacity). However this value is misleading (and I dont know why WinISO/UltraISO have this 'feature'). A similar example is used a lot in the "tape backup" industry where they advertise that a tape can store, say, 20GB but in reality the small print says "Assuming 2:1 Compression Ratio" which really means the tape hold files that are 10GB in size however that 10GB file is a compressed archive that really is 20GB.
The end result is that 700MB CDs hold approximately 700MB in Data Mode (the fancy Plextor drive not withstanding). Your second picture is the one that matters and if you go and compare the actual size of the CD using My Computer or something, it will be in the ballpark of 700MB as opposed to 1150MB range.
As for making your own ISO files:
You can create an a cd-image from a random set of files using either Nero or WinISO/UltraISO. With Nero, (1) Start Nero(2) Make a DataCD with all appropriate settings (3) Recorder --> Choose Recorder --> Select Image Recorder (4) Burn as you would normally by Nero will ask you to specify a location to save the NRG (cd-image file). Give it a location (5) Open CDMage --> Drag and drop the NRG file into CDMage (if it asks you for 'method' of reading, select Mode1/2048... that should work... if not, fiddle around). (6) File --> Save As --> Give it a name (7) Default save options should suffice If you want to use WinISO/UltraISO, (1) Start WinISO/UltraISO (2) Actions --> Add Files/Add directory (3) Actions --> Add Files/Add directory (4) When done adding files, File --> Save As --> Give it a name (5) If you need BIN/CUE files, Convert --> ISO to BIN
Now if you endevour to try to take, say, a 2CD game and "put it on" 1CD, you will find yourself having a lot of difficulty both with the copy protection as well as with just the plain task of burning the image.
