Good afternoon.
I must make a reservation right away that this article is in no way aimed at distributing illegal copies of discs.
I think that every experienced user has dozens or even hundreds of CDs and DVDs. Now it’s not so important to store all of them next to a computer or laptop - after all, hundreds of such disks can be placed on one HDD, the size of a small notebook! Therefore, it's not a bad idea to create images from your disk collections and transfer them to a hard drive (for example, to an external HDD).
The topic of creating images is also very relevant. Windows installation(for example, to copy installation disk Windows to an ISO image and then create from it bootable flash drive). Especially if you don't have a disk drive on your laptop or netbook!
Just as often, creating images can be useful for game lovers: discs get scratched over time, they begin to be difficult to read. As a result of intensive use, a disc with your favorite game may simply stop being read, and the disc will need to be bought again. To avoid this, it's easier to read the game into the image once, and then start the game from this image. In addition, the disk in the drive makes a lot of noise during operation, which annoys many users.
So let's get down to the main point...
1) How to create an ISO disk image
The image of such a disk is usually created from discs that are not copy-protected. For example, discs with MP3 files, discs with documents, etc. For this, there is no need to copy the "structure" of the disc tracks and any service information, which means that the image of such a disc will take up less space than the image of a protected disc. Usually, for such purposes, an ISO format image is used ...
CDBurnerXP
Very simple and multifunctional program. Allows you to create data discs (MP3, document discs, audio and video discs), in addition, it can create images and burn ISO images. This is what we will do…
1) First, in the main window of the program, you need to select the option "Copy disk".
The main window of CDBurnerXP.
Drive: CD-Rom where the CD / DVD disc was inserted;
A place to save the image;
Image type (in our case ISO).
Set copy options.
3) Actually, it remains only to wait until the ISO image is created. Copying time depends on the speed of your drive, the size of the copied disc and its quality (if the disc is scratched, the copy speed will be lower).
Disc copy process...
Alcohol 120%
This is one of the best programs for creating and emulating images. By the way, it supports all the most popular disk images: iso, mds / mdf, ccd, bin, etc. The program supports the Russian language, and its only drawback, perhaps, is that it is not free.
1) To create an ISO image in Alcohol 120%, in the main program window, click on the " Image creation«.
Alcohol 120% - creating an image.
2) Then you need to specify the CD / DVD drive (where the copied disc is inserted) and click the "next" button.
Select drive and copy settings.
3) And the last step... Select the location where the image will be saved, as well as specify the image type itself (in our case, ISO).
Alcohol 120% - a place to save the image.
After pressing the "Start" button, the program will start creating the image. Copy time can vary greatly. For a CD, this time is approximately 5-10 minutes, for a DVD - 10-20 minutes.
UltraISO
I could not help but mention this program, because it is one of the most popular programs for working with ISO images. Without it, as a rule, it can not do with:
Installing Windows and creating bootable flash drives and disks;
When editing ISO images (and she can do it quite easily and quickly).
In addition, UltraISO allows you to make an image of any disk in 2 mouse clicks!
1) After starting the program, you need to go to the "Tools" section and select the option " Create CD image...«.
2) Then it remains only to select the CD / DVD drive, the place where the image will be saved and the type of the image itself. Remarkably, in addition to creating ISO image a, the program can create: bin, nrg, compressed iso, mdf, ccd images.
2) Creating an image from a protected disk
Such images are usually created from game discs. The fact is that many game manufacturers, protecting their products from pirates, make it impossible to play without the original disc… I.e. to start the game - the disc must be inserted into the drive. If you do not have a real disk, then you will not start the game ....
Now let's imagine a situation: several people work at a computer and everyone has their own favorite game. Disks are constantly being repositioned and over time they wear out: they get scratched, read speed deteriorates, and then they can stop being read at all. To do this, you can create an image and use it. Only to create such an image, you need to enable some options (if you create a regular ISO image, then at startup, the game will simply give an error that there is no real disk ...).
Alcohol 120%
1) As in the first part of the article, first of all, launch the option to create a disk image (in the menu on the left, first tab).
2) Then you need to select the disk drive and set the copy settings:
Skip reading errors;
Advanced Sector Scan (A.S.S.) factor 100;
Reading subchannel data from the current disk.
3) In this case, the image format will be MDS - the Alcohol 120% program will read the sub-channel data of the disk into it, which will later help you run a protected game without a real disk.
By the way, the size of the image during such copying will be larger than the actual volume of the disk. For example, based on a 700 MB game CD, an image of ~800 MB will be created.
Nero
Nero is not just one disc burning software, it's a whole suite of disc burning software. At help Nero you can: create any discs (audio and video, with documents, etc.), convert videos, create disc covers, edit audio and video, etc.
Using NERO 2015 as an example, I will show how an image is created in this program. By the way, for images it uses its own format: nrg (it is read by all popular programs for working with images).
1) Run Nero Express and select the section "Image, project ...", then the function "Copy disk".
2) In the settings window, pay attention to the following:
On the left of the window there is an arrow with additional settings- turn on the checkbox Read subchannel data«;
Then select the drive from which the data will be read (in this case drive where a real CD/DVD is inserted);
And the last thing to specify is the source drive. If you are copying a disk to an image, then you need to select Image Recorder.
Setting up protected disc copying in Nero Express.
3) When you start copying, Nero will prompt you to choose a location to save the image, as well as its type: ISO or NRG (for protected discs, choose the NRG format).
Nero Express - select image type.
This article will discuss how to create an ISO disk image or create it from files and folders. In general, there is nothing complicated in creating an ISO image, and it would seem that there is no need to write a whole article about this, but due to the nature of my work and hobbies, I often come across people who have no idea what an ISO image is, and even more so how to create it. And I thought that since a large number of people have similar questions, it means that they need an iso instruction (detailed article) as a guide to action.
Working with an ISO image is much more convenient than with files and folders copied from an optical disc. In addition, an exact copy of the original optical disc (diagnostic programs, operating systems ...) will always be stored on your computer, which can be written to blank media or mounted in a virtual computer drive. I already have a tradition of moving from the prologue to the main part of the article through the definition, and this time there will be no exception. So, let's define for ourselves what an ISO image is.
An ISO image is an informal and "slang" term for an optical disc image that contains the ISO 9660 file system. In general, this term can be applied to any optical disc image. In fact, this is an ordinary file that can be opened (mounted) using special programs that emulate an optical disc drive. Do not forget that the ISO image, unlike the original optical disc, does not contain service information that can be used to protect the disc from copying.
Everyone has long been aware of the fragility of optical media, and if you have a desire to extend the life of an optical disc and insure yourself against data loss, then it makes sense to create its exact copy in the form of an ISO image. To create a copy of the required optical disc, you will need a program to create an ISO image (how to create a disk image and protect it with a password in the program Daemon Tools Lite read) and here you can make a choice in favor of both paid and free versions.
Free program to create and burn ISO files.
Let's take a look at the free multifunctional program to create and burn CDBurnerXP ISO files. The program can also create boot disks, check data after burning, convert nrg and bin files to iso, split disks and place data on several disks, burn any CD / DVD disks, including dual-layer ones ... As for me, it is very rich functionality for a free program. By the way, the program boasts more than a dozen awards.
First of all, let's look at how to create an ISO image from files and folders in CDBurnerXP.
After starting the program, select the first menu item "Disk with data" and click "OK".
Now you need to find and add necessary files to a project to create an ISO image from the folder(s) and files. 
Next, select the command from the top menu "File" and click on the item "Save project as an ISO image ...". Now it remains to give a name to the future ISO image and click the "Save" button. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in creating an ISO image from folders and files.
Now let's look at how to create an ISO disk image using the same program.
To do this, after starting the program, select the item "Copy disk" and click the "OK" button.
Now, in order to create an ISO disk image according to your requirements, you need to make the necessary settings in a new window. If your computer has several drives, then the first step is to select the one in which the optical disc is already installed.
The "Read Attempts" line by default already contains the optimal number of read attempts when errors are detected, so nothing needs to be changed here. Below are the checkboxes (check box) "Ignore unreadable data" and "Disable hardware error correction", when activated, the resulting image may not be working. It is advisable to activate these checkboxes only in extreme cases, when creating an image becomes impossible without them ...
The next step is to decide whether the copy will be written to another optical disc or saved to the hard drive as an ISO image. By the way, if you have only one drive, then you can select it both as a "Source" and as a target device "Receiver". In this case, CDBurnerXP will create a temporary intermediate disk image file on the hard drive (hard drive). After creating the image, the original disc will be ejected from the drive automatically, and you will need to insert a blank disc into it for burning.
For example, I will create an ISO image of an optical disc and save it to the computer's hard drive. To do this, you need to rearrange the radio button (switch) to the position " HDD”, select a folder, give a name to the file and select its type. In my case it will be the ISO type.
It remains to click the "Copy disc" button.
After the process is completed, an ISO disk image will be created on the computer's hard disk in the folder you specified, which, if necessary, you can burn to disk using CDBurnerXP.
This program has only one drawback - it cannot mount an ISO image in virtual drive. But with such great potential this application this shortcoming is not significant, especially since free programs to mount an ISO image on the Internet a large number.
Program for creating an ISO image UltraISO.
Now let's look at the paid UltraISO utility, which is designed not only for ISO creation images, but also for working with many other types of files. This program can edit the contents of both CD and DVD images, emulate a virtual optical drive and burn the created images to a real external media.
In addition, the utility can work with images created in other programs such as Nero Burning Rom, Alcohol 120%, Clone Cd and others. And also create boot disks for various operating systems, edit files and folders inside images and make images from both optical discs and USB drives and hard drives.
Before you buy the UltraISO program, you can try to work with it in the trial period and thereby decide whether it will take root on your computer and whether you will like it. True, in the trial period, the program has a limit on creating an image of 300 MB. After you download the program and install it on your computer, click on the created shortcut on the desktop and the application will open a welcome window.
Here you are offered to buy the program, enter the registration code or run it in the trial period.
To begin with, I suggest creating an ISO image from files. To do this, you need to find, select and add the files you need to the project using the "Add" button or by simply dragging and dropping files and folders.
Next, you need to save the project as an ISO image. For this in top menu select the "File" item and in the drop-down list click on the line "Save as ...". Next, you need to give a name to the project, select the type of ISO and click on the save button.
More and more users are faced with the concept of "ISO-image". Many files on the web are distributed with this extension. Consider what it is, what it is for and how to create a virtual disk.
Any virtual optical disc can be considered an ISO image. This is a regular file that is no different from others. This type of extension cannot store service information as in the original CD, so you should not count on 100% similarity.
The term "ISO" is taken from file system"ISO 9660". This type is used in all CD, DVD, Blu-ray. Most often used to correctly write data to new disks. An archived copy of an optical disc does not use additional compression, so there is no need to carry out unnecessary steps before burning.
Creating an ISO image makes it possible to copy and replicate licensed software, which can significantly save on buying a new one. The bottom line is to bypass protection against unlicensed distribution. If files from a licensed disk are used on a flash drive, then the use will be unavailable. When installing through an image, the system is easy to deceive, because it creates the appearance of installing through the original CD.
Programs and utilities for creating ISO images on Windows
To create an optical disc image, you need to use special software on your computer. Consider 6 the best utilities.
Ultra ISO program
One of the most famous utilities is "UltraISO". This software is paid, but fully justifies its cost. Free version available which limits size virtual disk up to 300 MB. Works with more than 30 different extensions, multi-volume images and can generate MD5 checksums.
First of all, you need to download and install "UltraISO" from the official site. It is not recommended to trust third-party services, as there is a high probability of “catching” a virus on your device. Be sure to check the resource from which you download the software!
Windows Explorer will be available at the bottom of the program. You must select the files to create the image. This is done by right-clicking on the folder and selecting the "Add" item from the menu that appears. As soon as the user adds everything necessary, you need to click on the "File" button in the left upper corner and click on "Save". "UltraIOS" will offer a save option, select the required format yourself.
Poweriso program
Utility Poweriso designed for use not only with Windows, but also with other operating systems. For full use, you need to buy a licensed version on the official website of the developer. The "Free" version includes some restrictions - the size of the image is up to 300 MB and the appearance of a boot dialog at each start. Freebie lovers can download a pirated version on third-party resources, but you need to be careful and check the site.
After that, the created virtual disk can be used as you like.
BurnAware Free Program
With the help of the program BurnAware Free users can not only create images, but also burn real discs. The word "burn" means to record information. The utility is free and has a Russian interface. Consider using it to create an image from a regular disk.
As you can see, the use of this application is extremely simple.
imgburn utility
"imgBurn"- free software for Windows. With this application, you can burn information to optical discs, save ISOs on your computer, and much more. More than 20 different formats are supported.
After that, "imgBurn" will report successful creation and display the result on the screen.
You can use the virtual disk as you like.
Program "Alcohol 120"
One more free app — "Alcohol 120". Creates only copies of optical discs in the form of images and writes information to them.
As we see, "Alcohol 120" has a somewhat limited functionality, since it cannot create virtual disks from files available on the computer.
Ashampoo Burning Studio Free
Another popular application for "burning" optical discs. Ashampoo Burning Studio can backup data, create ISO, erase information on CD / DVD and much more. It is distributed free of charge, which is very surprising for this developer. The snag lies in the many offers inside the utility for buying licensed software.
After that, the use of the virtual disk will become available. The program will inform the user about the readiness of the result and suggest further actions.
Outcome
Creating an ISO image will help companies save on licensing costs software, will help users bypass copy protection and make it easier to use personal computer. We have reviewed the 6 best utilities that are sure to help with this.
We each have our own ideas about free software. Some computer owners perceive it with hostility and prefer to deal only with commercially distributed products, the price of which includes not only the honor and respect of developers, but also services. technical support. Others are sure that you won't get far on enthusiasm alone, predict a sad future for free and open source solutions and, if possible, try to bypass them. Still others, on the contrary, believe in the bright prospects of free and open source software, actively use it in their daily work, and just as zealously promote its use.
One can endlessly list the advantages and disadvantages of gratuitously distributed products, but one cannot but take away from them one important quality - the freedom of choice that they provide. If when purchasing software from developers who love hard cash, users usually focus on the thickness of their own wallet, then when choosing free and open source applications, they rely solely on their own needs and imagination. If you don’t like one program, you can, with a little effort, try a lot of other products that, in terms of their characteristics, approach, and in some cases even outdo other commercial solutions on the market. In order not to be unfounded, we decided to bring a selection of applications for burning optical discs that can make a worthy alternative paid programs and are an indispensable element in the arsenal of every PC user.
⇡InfraRecorder
Developer: infrarecorder.org
Distribution size: 3.3 MB
OS: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
An open source CD and DVD burning software that supports ISO, BIN/CUE disk images. InfraRecorder works with rewritable and multi-session optical media, can find a common language with Audio CDs and dual-layer DVDs, and is also equipped with functions for cloning discs and checking them for errors. One of the features of the application is the interface, implemented in the style of Windows Explorer and translated into forty-odd languages, including Russian. In addition to the standard editions of the utility for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, the site of the developer Christian Kindahl presents a portable version of InfraRecorder that works from any flash drive.
⇡ BurnAware Free
Developer: burnaware.com
Distribution size: 5.9 MB
OS: Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7
Tool for "burning" CD-, DVD- and Blu-ray discs. The functionality embedded in the program allows you to burn Audio-CD, DVD-Video and MP3 discs, create bootable and multi-session media, and also create ISO images from them. BurnAware Free has a module automatic update through the Internet and a mechanism for checking the recorded data, which allows you to make sure that the process went smoothly. The utility interface is Russified, but the developers did not get around to translating the help. In the process, the accelerator application strives to introduce the Ask.com toolbar into Windows, so for those who decide to twist the tool in their hands, we advise you to be careful when installing it on your computer. Also note that BurnAware Free cannot create exact copies of CDs and DVDs - given function present in commercial editions of the product that are beyond the scope of our review.
⇡ Nero 9 Lite
Developer: nero.com
Distribution size: 31.6 MB
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
A stripped-down version of the famous Nero Burning ROM disc burning package. It will appeal to those who love Nero products and are ready to put up with numerous restrictions free version applications. The program can only burn CDs and DVDs, copy them, as well as clean rewritable discs and display reference information about the discs used. The Nero 9 Lite app is designed with potential buyers of the popular package's full edition in mind, and therefore abounds in dialog boxes, urging the user to make a choice in favor of a commercial product. Akin to the above program, Nero 9 Lite also installs in the browser Internet Explorer the Ask.com toolbar and does this even if the checkbox in the installer settings is unchecked. And although later an unnecessary component can be removed through the panel Windows controls, the very fact of the forced installation of the toolbar cannot but be alarming.
⇡ ImgBurn
Developer: imgburn.com
Distribution size: 4.4 MB
OS: all Windows versions, Linux (when using the Wine environment)
One of the most powerful tools to work with CD, DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. ImgBurn supports BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI formats, allows the user to create audio CDs from MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and other files, interacts with any optical drives and can check the quality of the data recording. The program is characterized by a huge number of parameters through which the user can flexibly manipulate the characteristics of the utility and customize it in his own way. No less interesting is the fact that all ImgBurn operations are logged and shown as a report in a special window displayed next to the main application window. It hardly makes sense to recommend this program novice users, but advanced computer owners should like it.
⇡CDBurnerXP
Developer: cdburnerxp.se
Distribution size: 6.3 MB
OS: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
The features of this program are a built-in manager for printing disc covers, a module for converting NRG and BIN images to ISO, as well as a rich toolkit for creating audio CDs from MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC and WMA files. Otherwise, CDBurnerXP is practically in no way inferior to ImgBurn, with the exception, perhaps, of the interface, which is easier to use and understandable to ordinary users. Thanks to a successful combination of all these factors, the utility has received special attention from many software portals and online media, including our online publication.
⇡ DeepBurner Free
Developer: deepburner.com
Distribution size: 2.7 MB
OS: all Windows versions
Another alteration of a commercial product, the functionality of which was deliberately curtailed by the developers. DeepBurner Free works with CD and DVD media (including multi-session media), can create audio CDs and burn data borrowed from an ISO image onto discs. A Russified interface made in the style of Windows Explorer, an update checker, drive buffer size settings - all this and much more is implemented in the program. For the convenience of potential users, the creators of DeepBurner Free have provided a portable version of the application, designed to be copied to flash drives and then run on any computer at hand.
⇡ Ashampoo Burning Studio Free
Developer: ashampoo.com
Distribution size: 8.2 MB
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
Craft of the German company Ashampoo, distributed by the developer not directly from his own site, but through a network of partner sites. It differs from all the above applications in the ability to burn data to CD, DVD, Blu-ray and create Audio-CD, Video-DVD, VCD, SVCD. The program supports more than 1700 different drives, can copy media and create images in ISO, CUE / BIN, ASHDISC formats, and does a good job with rewritable and multi-session discs. If desired, Ashampoo Burning Studio Free can be used as a tool for creating backups data and subsequent recovery of information at the right time. The only thing missing in the German product is the function of creating boot disks, which in some cases is extremely useful.
⇡ Burn4Free
Developer: burn4free.com
Distribution size: 2.2 MB
OS: all versions of operating Microsoft systems starting with Windows 98
A program for burning CD, DVD, AudioCD, equipped with an interface that involuntarily brings tears of sympathy. If you brush them off and try to figure out a bunch of keys, a good half of which, when pressed, redirects to advertised sites, then you can come to the conclusion that Burn4Free actually knows a lot, but getting to the functionality embedded in the product is not so easy because behind ubiquitous pop-up banners. The application burns ISO images, supports various music formats, interacts with more than three thousand models optical drives and is distinguished by other talents hidden under a layer of buttons of an archaic and completely stupid interface.
⇡ Small CD Writer
Developer: small-cd-writer.com
Distribution size: 411 kb
OS: Windows (no information on specific versions)
The only program in our review for burning CD and DVD, created by the hands of domestic wizards. Unlike most similar programs, Small CD-Writer has a miniature size, works without installation, does not require space for caching files. The utility allows you to create multi-session and boot disks, burn ISO-images of CDs, view all sessions on a disk and extract files from them, save projects on a computer disk. Automatic detection of the burner and write speed, coupled with the most simplified interface, allows users of any skill level to work with the program. To transfer files to optical media, it is enough to Windows Explorer select the "Send to Small CD-Writer" menu item and click the "Burn" button in the window that opens.
⇡ Express Burn
Developer: nch.com.au/burn/
Distribution size: 470 kb
OS: all editions of Windows, Mac OS X (from version 10.2)
Another miniature CD, DVD and Blu-ray burner. Despite its modest size, Express Burn has features such as burning user data, creating audio and video discs, copying optical media and working with ISO images. A distinctive feature of the program, according to the developers, is the high speed of work and undemanding to the computing resources of the computer. We could not find any shortcomings in Express Burn. The only disappointment was the lack of a portable edition of the product, designed to run from flash devices.
