I recommend an ISO tool

edited April 2007 in Software
ISOburner is a portable burner that just does one thing and
so can't mess up. I just used it to burn an ISO file to DVD
and it worked perfectly. I'm getting so old and forgetful I
figured I'd have a couple of backups on the ISO file burnt as
data disks but not with this program.

I really like portable apps and here's another one purpose
portable that I recommend. I have tested the resulting DVD and
it self starts and is ready to run.
It Lives!

  • Hey Thump, I also recommend you try PowerISO.

    Thanks RN, I think I had it once but can't remember too much
    about it. I'm trying to shift to portable apps whenever I can
    now though. I used to use the great windows power toy by
    Alex Feinstein but it stopped working after one of the service
    packs.
    I'm using CDBurner XP Pro as my regular burning tool but still make
    a lot of data disks with it when I'm trying to burn an ISO to disk.

  • Nice find Thump, I was looking for an ISO burner for Windows that wasn't bloated.

    If you want :roll:
  • That sounds interesting, especially since I RARELY write CDs and throughly hate installing Nero to burn one disc so I can then uninstall it.

    Anyway, do you have a link to the site or a download?

    Sorry, very absentminded of me.

  • COOL! A standalone CD writing program I had yet to see! I'll probably have to refer back to Nero from time to time, but for simple ISOs needing a writing to disc this'll be the coolest thing ever!

  • I'll have to try this later. Also, ISORecorder ( http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm ) is a nice alternative.

  • Another good one to know!

    I'm going to move this to Talk -> Apps due to the subject matter.

  • My favs for Image Making are Nero Burning ROM, UltraISO and WinImage.
  • Yeah Nero to burn, WinImage to create...
  • IMGburn is a nice Free ISO burner as well :)
    i use ultraiso to iso files :P
  • I use the ming version of mkisofs.exe, along with a batch file. You crank the iso file out, along with all sorts of root-directory indexing, from the directory that will be root of the cdrom.

    The batch file creates the root directory stuff for the cd tree, the crc of every file, and files like lslr.txt and msad.txt (4nt: dir /msza:-d = file list with 4dos descriptions).

    The iso is made by "cdfetch iso LABEL dir OUTDIR two crc nop"

    dir = directory of output ios
    iso = label + file name
    two = duplicates-once
    crc = crc32 for all files
    nop = do not create base tree structure

    Works like a dream, and even DOS can see the whole thing.

  • Active ISO Burner is quite a good one. I needed an ISO burning prog a bit back but couldn't be bothered to install Nero or Alcohol, I searched google and that turned up. It's freeware but am not sure about it's stand-aloneness.
