[Help needed] how to make unkompressed chd file?

General
#1

Hi. Can someone provide the entire script to create an UNCOMPRESSED .chd file? I need to convert cue/bin files to chd. Unfortunately, it has to be an uncompressed file. As far as I know, chdman requires the -c none parameter, but I don’t know how to do that :slight_smile:

You just add it to the command. Here is an example command

chdman createcd --compression none --input "original.cue" --output "new.chd"

If you leave out the compression option, then you get a normal compressed chd:

chdman createcd --input "original.cue" --output "new.chd"

chdman comes with bat files. One of them is: “Cue, ISO, or GDI to CHD.bat” I edited this file and changed it to:

for /r %%i in (*.cue, *.iso, *.gdi) do chdman createcd --compression none -i “%%i” -o "%%~ni.chd I don’t know if this is correct, but it’s the only way it works.

I’m not on Windows and not much familiar with bat files (Batch script). Looks right to me. All you need is to add the --compression none or the shorter version -c none (its the same) like you did. The script should work the exact same way as before, just without the compression.
