General ISO disk image files are employed by various organizations as a format for long-term, file-based management of data copied from a physical disk. As noted above, however, ISO file content (like the original disk) may have dependencies that, over time, make access difficult. For this reason, some organizations may additionally (or instead) copy files as individual files and present the content in terms of a filesystem hierarchy. But this method does not provide a way to get back to the bootable disk (if that's what was started with) and might overlook hidden files. Multisession disks may cause difficulties in reformatting. One manufacturer of a tool for reformatting disks as ISO image files reported, There are some instances of [multisession] UDF discs that may cause issue, but these will be flagged [in the reports provided by the tool]. This manifests itself by the rip only grabbing the first session or write on the disc. ( Personal communication with the compiler of this page.) Regarding the Joliet specification, a Microsoft support page ( last review in 2011) reports, Because the Joliet specification is ISO 9660 compliant, CD- ROM disks recorded according to the Joliet specification may continue to interchange data with non- Joliet systems. The designs for the System Use Sharing Protocol, Rock Ridge extensions for POSIX semantics, CD- XA System Use Area Semantics, and Apple's Finder Flags and Resource Forks all port in a straightforward manner to the Joliet specification. These protocols are not an integral part of the Joliet specification, however. Support for Joliet is included in Windows 95, and the spec is now included in the Win95 DDK docs. It will also be included in a future version of Windows NT. ( This page consulted in July 2012.) The ISO disk image format (and file formats that carry extensions like.img and.dmg) are associated with optical disk media.

This article is a comparison of notable software applications that can access or manipulate disk image files. It compares their disk image handling features. Contents 1 Comparison criteria 1.1 Capabilities 1.2 Supported file formats 2 The comparison 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References Comparison criteria[edit] This article compares two features: Supported file formats and capabilities of the software as to how they treat the image format. Capabilities[edit] Creates? Specifies whether the application can create a new disc image file, either by capturing the image of an actual disc, by composing a disc image file from locally stored files or an empty disc image. Modifies? Specifies whether the application is able to manipulate the contents of an existing disc image file, including adding, changing or deleting files within or modifying disc image metadata. Mounts? Specifies whether the application can emulate an optical disc drive. Such an application treats a disc image file like a virtual disc and virtually inserts it into that emulated virtual drive. Restores? Specifies whether the application can write the contents of a disk image file onto a physical media (such as an optical disc, a floppy disk, a hard disk drive or a USB flash drive) and create a physical replica. Extracts? Specifies whether the application can copy some or all of the files within a disc image file to somewhere else. Supported file formats[edit] Input Specifies the types of disc image formats that the application can open. Output Specifies the types of disc image formats that the application can save to.
