I have an Iso file of windows 8.1 pro with December '14 updates. The problem is the file is too big to be burned on a normal 4.7GB DVD , its around 4.8. Now is it possible to remove a few updates so that i can make a bootable windows DVD.
Or is there any other alternative so that i can store this on DVD.
I tried compressing it to .uif and .7z format but even though the size reduces the numerous ripping softwares i tried using said this file was too big even though the windows properties of this compressed file says its less than 4.7 gb
As you already noticed: Compression is not going to work. You can compress the ISO file however you want when it sits on your harddisk, but the data is always written UNCOMPRESSED to the DVD. The DVD format doesn't support compression on the DVD in this way.
Modifying a pre-build ISO to take out some updates is possible but it is an arcane art. Extremely complicated and you will need to have a very good understanding of how slipstreaming works.
Rolling your own ISO starting from a base Windows ISO and adding only the desired patches (and possibly some drivers) is MUCH easier and you can control the size of the resulting ISO with a lot less hassle.
Obviously you can burn to a dual-layer DVD. This will give you an effective capacity of 8.5 GB.
But: Have you considered to make a bootable USB stick instead ? It is a lot faster to install Windows from USB. A 8 GB USB stick costs about the same money as a couple of dual-layer DVDs and the USB can be re-used for something else after use. (Also bear in mind that DVD drives are not really standard anymore in new computers. But they all have USB ports and can boot from a USB device.)
You can download ISO without updates from MSDN website where the size will be equal to 2GB of size and after installation of the OS you can install the upgrades.
You can use nlite or rt se7ven. These programs allows you to customize windows os. Here you can remove unwanted drivers(There will be plenty of drivers which your device dont have. Windows by default put all drivers for ease. Be aware of not removing controller device). Remove all the language packs, Feature you dont want like internet explorer, wmc, media feature, wall papers,softwares.Expert peoples are able to make a 500mb win 7 os from these easy to use tools within an our.

If you buy a dual layer DVD, they are about twice as large and should be writeable by a regular DVD burner. Would that be big enough?
