What to Do With Image Files?

All the readers @AptitudeAmplifier, do you know what are image files and what should we do with it. Well the image files, the one we are talking about are the files which store the contents of CD or DVD which we can use without inserting the CD or DVD by mounting it, unless and until you are confused with the image files which are used to conserve memories.

What's an image file?

An Image is a file which contains all the contents of a CD/DVD, but in this process instead of inserting it into your CD/DVD Rom Drive you have to open it from your Hard Disk, i.e. it is saved in your Hard Disk and you have to open it through any of the software’s available in the market, where in Windows 8 and its successors have their own ability to mount image files. So, normally you can claim that this type of system replaces the normal usage of CD/DVD.

So, it could be better option saving these kinds of image files in your PC, if you do not want save and organize many data CD/DVD.

Most common forms of image file extensions.

Now in the market which is developing in producing many types of software’s, there are many extensions present, but the most common and the important type of image files are:

• ·        ISO (Generic image file)
• ·        BIN/CUE (Generic BIN image file)
• ·        NRG (An image created using Nero Burning ROM)
• ·        IMG/CCD/SUB (An image created using CloneCD)
• ·        MDF (An image created using MagicISO Maker)

Similarly there are many other hundreds of Image Formats, but the one present here are the most common in all of them.

So, how to open an Image File?

So, the most common way to open an Image File is to use a Virtual CD/DVD Rom. It's like a normal CD/DVD Rom, only that you have to mount the Image Files directly from your computer, however not by inserting the CD/DVD Rom Drive, just by simply installing a program, which you will get in the software market, especially the freeware’s. You can use software’s like Daemon Tools, Magic ISO, etc., where in Windows 8 and its successor there are inbuilt features to mount or make CD/DVD Image File.

Programs use to create images files.

Usually almost in every CD/DVD Burning software an option is present to create an Image File, but I personally use Daemon  Tools to accomplish this task. It allows me to create an ISO, MDF and MDX format of Image Files, which is according to me is very easy to do.

Program that should be used to mount Image File.

Daemon Tools is the most powerful tool to accomplish this task, and the most simple too. It has great and understandable UI. There are others software’s to make Image Files like CloneCD, Magic ISO, etc...

Well, how to burn an Image File back to a CD/DVD.

Some type of Image Files must be burned using certain type of software in order to work fine due to compatibility problems, but usually a common CD/DVD burning software works fine with most type of Image Files. Well according to me you all should use Nero Burning ROM to burn Images, for its easy UI.
