So far, records.ini is embedded on setup.exe (That is if the setup is created with ASC). There are going to be two methods of using the new conversion tool. Splitting and Non-Splitting method. If you got a lot of metal in circular form lying around then non-splitting method is the way to go but if your pockets are filled with oxygen then splitting method is the way to go.
Consider this scenario If
data1.bin = 3.2GB
data2.bin = 1.7GB
data3.bin = 2.0GB
data4.bin = 1.5GB
with splitting method this is what happens:
data1.bin(3.2GB) and part of data2.bin(1.1GB) are going to fit in DVD1.
The other part of data2.bin(600MB) will go in DVD2 along with data3.bin(2.0GB) and data4.bin(1.5GB)
To make:
DVD1 = 4.3GB
DVD2 = 4.1GB
without splitting method this is what happens:
data1.bin(3.2GB) is going to fit in DVD1.
data2.bin(1.7GB) is going to fit in DVD2(it can’t fit in one because there’ll be an overload) along with data3.bin(2.0GB).
data4.bin(1.5GB) will going in DVD3.
To make:
DVD1 = 3.2GB
DVD2 = 3.7GB
DVD3 = 1.5GB
Same output but different number of DVDs, most would go for the splitting method but there is a catch, the splitting method needs additional space when compressing and when decompressing, this means more time is needed.


records.ini for setup made with Inno Setup will still be near the exe, the reason for this is that I can't make it work like the one for ASC else the exe becomes corrupt.
