UIF to ISO Converter GUI

This tool has been superseded by the original uif2iso converter (© Luigi Auriemna), which now has it’s own GUI. Use that.

Recently I made a converter GUI for daa2iso. Now I’ve decided to follow up with another similar tool – the UIF to ISO converter GUI 🙂 It’s almost the same as the previous one, except that it operates on files with the UIF extension.

The original converter application was created by Luigi Auriemna. It’s a command-line tool, which means the average computer user wouldn’t know how to use it. That’s why I made this version that has a more familiar and simpler Windows-based interface (a.k.a GUI).

Features

Converter by Luigi Auriemna, interface by me – Janis Elsts.

  • Converts UIF archives to ISO files. You can then burn the ISO file to a CD or DVD with one of the many freeware tools like ImgBurn. Pretty much all of CD/DVD tools support the ISO format.
  • Simple Windows interface – two input boxes and a button.
  • Easy to use – just drag-and-drop an UIF file into the tool’s window and click “Start conversion!”.
  • Doesn’t require installation – extract the .zip file somewhere and run uif_converter.exe.

Download UIF to ISO converter

Download : uif2iso_gui.zip (230 Kb) and uif2iso.zip from this page.
Extract all the files from both archives to the same folder and run uif_converter.exe to begin. If that doesn’t work, try uif2iso.exe – it’s interface isn’t as good (IMHO), but it should work as well.

FAQ

Do I need to download the converter/interface separately?
Yes. Luigi – the author of the converter – asked me to do it this way.

When I tried to convert a file something just flashed on my screen and nothing else happened! Hmm?
That’s probably because the converter encountered an error. You can try to run it from the command prompt to see the particular error message – feel free to study the beginners guide to WinXP command prompt if you don’t know how.

I tried the command prompt and it still doesn’t work. What now?
Keep in mind that I only created the interface, not the actual conversion algorithms. So I probably can’t help you in this case. You might have better luck if you try to contact Luigi, the author of the converter.

I have a question about the GUI part, who do I ask?

    Hmm. Maybe to move the file to a different location and try again? Are you using the ‘…’ button to select the file?

    Great offering. However it fails to work for me for some reason. But not your problem it’s the actual converter. It continues to kick out “invalid argument” errors though I’m unsure why. Was hoping to not have to install MagicISO just to convert the only UIF file I’ve ever encountered. 😉

    Have you tried to run it manually? I’ve tried to make the GUI reasonably robust in choosing the arguments for the converter, but it might not be 100%.

    Sorry, I wasn’t explicit enough. I had to run the converter manually in command prompt to even see “invalid argument” the error. I’ve contacted Luigi directly and will consider trying a demo of MagicISO to see if their tool can convert and thus rule out the actual source. The UIF is 3.4GB in size so maybe I’m pushing the boundaries of these tools, or maybe the UIF is simply corrupted/invalid though I’d expect some more explicit error if that was the case. “invalid argument” sounds like the converter is receiving invalid instructions. However, it doesn’t get much more simple than “excecutable file1 file2” 🙂 Good work on the GUI.
