tochd is an iso/cue+bin and other cd like formats to chd converter. It’s actually an automation script that uses chdman and 7z under the hood. The Python script/program only works under Linux and is for commandline usage.

v0.12 - March 8, 2024

Note: We are jumping over v0.11 and combine it with next version v0.12.

  • bug: counter for finish states like “Completed: 0” are disabled, when combining the options -p and -s, because counting these variables is not thread safe at the moment
  • bug: cpu count was wrongly reported when using custom number for threads
  • new setting in option: specify -m auto to determine “cd” or “dvd” format based on filesize with a 750 MB threshold (thanks AlexanderRavenheart https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd/pull/3)
  • changed: generation and handling of temporary folders refactored, now it’s using proper builtin tempfile functionality instead custom logic, currently the folders are not hidden anymore (thanks AlexanderRavenheart https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd/pull/3)
  • changed: due to the new approach of temporary folders, the option -E will finally cause Ctrl+c to delete temporary files and folders before exiting (thanks AlexanderRavenheart https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd/pull/3)
  • removed: option -f and --fast, because nobody actually needs it, its an artefact of early testings to quickly generate huge files
  • lot of internal code refactor for being more consistent styling and naming (thanks AlexanderRavenheart https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd/pull/3)

    Your tochd script was a big time saver for me in the past. Thanks for making and sharing it!

    To anyone swinging by and wondering what the deal is, use tochd to convert your ISOs to CHDs. It can easily batch the work for you. It will be smarter, better, and definitely more convenient than a quick bash script you hack together.
