How to Compress ISO Files for PSP

An ISO image is an archive file that is actually an "image" of an entire CD, DVD or in the case of the Sony PSP, it is UMD. The entire contents of a disc can be stored in a single ISO file. This single file method makes it convenient and easy to store multiple media files without the need to physically carry around multiple discs.
