ISO file extensions are based upon the image file format providing an exact replica of data into a convenient single file (ISO image). These files are typically large and sometimes anything around the 1gb to 3.5gb in size. A popular example of the use of this ISO DVD or CD image file is the windows XP SP3 which in most cases can be downloaded in an iso image.

OK, so how do we go about opening an CD or DVD ISO file extension? In most cases you simply do not need to actually open the image file given the main purpose of these handy single files is that they can be burned upon a CD or DVD disk providing you with an exact copy of the original data. Therefore, all that is required is to open up your popular image burner and write the image file directly to a CD or DVD.

However, if you are looking to alter the contents of the image file or indeed if you simply wish to place the contents on your hard drive then what is known as an ‘extraction’ will be required. The most common, and in our view the most flexible and best iso file extraction tool, is IsoBuster. With this great little tool you can extract the contents of the image file (which is very useful if you are looking to extract video from an image without having to burn it to a disk) into it’s original state. Once extracted you can then manipulate any of the files as you would any other on your computer.[ad#inlinesmallsqaure]

Another handy feature using this ISO program is to extract a DVD file from the image to allow you to watch it on your PC. In most cases the resulting files are in a DVD compliant format looking like VOB files – once extracted you simply need to place these files into a folder named ‘VIDEO_TS’ and your DVD software will then be capable fo playing the DVD movie without first having to burn it to disk. Very useful if you want to see whether you like the DVD before using up a disk.

IsoBuster also has many other uses including a DVD and CD burner and best of all it supports ALL file formats meaning this utility will take care of all your writing, extracting and burning needs.
