Write .iso Image Files to DVDs

The .iso image files are DVD images containing exact binary copies of the original DVDs. Depending on the operating environment, you can use the files to create product DVDs, or you can use them in their original format.

A DVD writer and mastering software are required to recreate product DVDs. Most DVD authoring applications accept a preformatted .iso image file and write the contents of the ISO image to a DVD. This step generates an exact copy of the product DVD.

See the documentation on your DVD writer for more information about 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, 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, use an .iso extractor program to extract .iso image files to a local file system.
