nope no special software.. most of the burning tools will burn ISO's I use Nero to burn mine.. last I checked it didn't have iso listed as a file.. so I click on open.. then view all files.. and then find the iso I want to burn..

The standard "mastering" burner software is ISO burning. Converting UDF (packet writing) disks to be able to be read by any CD ROM is an ISO conversion.

What you will be able to do in creating a CD depends upon what software you have. If the software is older, you may not be able to do things like directly create an audio CD from MP3s that can be played in a standard CD player. You may need to convert the MP3s to WAV first.

Audio CDs that play in a standard CD player has a file format .cda All other audio formats might be considered DATA for your software. It's important if you are making a disk full of WMA or MP3s or even WAV.

What are iso's?

[ChoaticWhisper]

I Think iso's are the standard cd image format.
Im pretty sure that they are just a bit for bit copy of a cd.
Basicly its almost like .nrg(nero) .img(I think ezcd).
You get the point though, right?

ISO is an image file of a cd.. say you want to burn something mroe the once.. a ISO would be a good choice.. Linux Distrose use ISO images for their cds when u download them.. this would be one reason to be able to burna iso image..

just think of it as a copy of a cd on your hardrive.. in one file.. that burning programs can read, and put back into one piece on a cdr
