I just compresses using bzip2, and it only saved 8% versus over 50%
saved by using NOSSO(r). Here is the bzip2 output
1.080:1, 7.406 bits/byte, 7.42% saved, 2718433280 in, 2516591511 out.
The command line I used to compress was bzip2 -9zvv sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.iso

Did you try to bzip2 the DVD using -9 options to have something to compare ?

I just downloaded solaris. They have two versions, the split DVD that
comes with two 1.2GB zipped chunks and an exe which is 1.2GB but
uncompresses to the full 2.5+GB. I found some info on them here:

Any idea how they achieve such great compression? Looks like they're
using a proprietary algorithm and don't offer any downloads. Also looks
like it's windows only. Is there a linux/open source alternative out
there?
