The .iso image files are DVD images containing exact binary copies of the original DVDs. Depending on the platform, you can use these files to create product DVDs, or you can use them in their original format.
You must have a DVD writer and mastering software to recreate product DVDs. Most DVD authoring applications accept a pre-formatted .iso image file and write the contents of the ISO image to a DVD. This step generates an exact copy of the product DVD.
Note: Refer to the documentation that accompanies your DVD writer for more information on how to write .iso image files to DVDs.
Note: Neither Windows nor WinZip recognizes the .iso file format. To access the installation files in Windows, you must create a DVD with the .iso image file using a DVD Writer, or use a third-party software program like IsoBuster or Undisker as an .iso image file extractor. If you prefer not to create a DVD, you can use an .iso extractor program to extract .iso image files to a local file system.
