Random idea -> Data to Images

[Hyperz]

Could it be possible to do the same with movies?

For example create an iso of a movie, do your thing and turn it into images or whatever, then download it, and extract as a movie?

Or, am I on the wrong thing completely? lol

Why would you want to 1st create a iso?
You could take the movie and the program would generate images out of the movie file (kinda like putting a movie inside a multi part rar archive)

10mb image, I guess the same size as the crack. Size of (lets say) a movie turned to an image would result in, I suppose, 700+mb. Image hosts usually don't allow uploading 700mb images

The crack was a 9.6MB rar file so it was already compressed. If you would put a large text file into a png the png would be a good deal smaller since png is a form of lossless compression.

All The Best with that. What I guess is, in this way compression rate will be very high?

Depends on the data. If you make a png out of a rar there wont be extra compression. Text would get compression

Alright it looks cool, sounds cool but can't you achieve the same with just renaming a file?

Rename it to .rar

I dunno, seems to work by just renaming.

p.s. the image = a part83.rar file so don't expect it to unarchive

Nope because that image is invalid plus a server could look at the file and see that the file headers are not those of a png file.

One of the first things people tend to do when learning a new programming language is write little, often completely useless, programs to test and verify their knowledge of the language. Same with me. Since F# is very good with processing raw data I decided to make a data to image transcoder. So the program would read data (a file) and generate an image out of that data in a way that makes it possible to Rating: 5
