Support Neil Corlett's ECM Format

[transit]

First I want to thank you for making Daemon Tools. It is an incredible program that is useful on a daily basis. It is especially impressive in the number and variety of cd image formats it supports.

To that end, I would like to propose that you implement the ECM format as created by Neil Corlett:

This format removes the error correction data in a cd image file and therefore saves 15% to 20% space on average. This allows, for instance, for a nearly 800 Mb CD image file to be losslessly compressed and fit easily onto a 700 Mb CDR.

Will you please consider it?

Thanks!

I came here to suggest the same thing, only to find I was beaten to the punch

I'll just add that, ECM works as advertised. It would be an extremely valuable feature. It's the next YENC imho.

ECM support ever comming?

5 years and still nothing happened with this. :-(

After having done some tests with BIN->ECM->RAR I don't see a real benefit of that format.
Why not just create & rar an ISO or use compressed MDS ?

P.S.: is it used outside the console/emulation world at all ?
