Can some one plz tell me what is a ISO is ? Is it a file or program and how to open it ? Thank You.?

Answer 1

An ISO is a compressed file with many files in it, but it is more than likely a digital version of a DVD. It can be a software DVD/CD with program files on it, a movie DVD with menus and subtitles and everything, or really many other things, but it is probably a movie. To see what the ISO contains, you need to create a virtual drive, with a program like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% (I prefer the latter of the two). Then mount the ISO to the virtual drive and you will be able to open the DVD as if there is physically a DVD in your computer.

Answer 2

ISO is a file type that is basically a storage file (archive) that contains a bunch of little files inside of it.  (think of a filing cabinet and the file folders in it)

it can be any type of digital file. most often you will see it used to store/archive movies or albums.  

it is used for imaging/archiving entire Discs.  

you can open it with most CD Rom type software. i use roxio or nero.

try http://sourceforge.net/ and search for .iso . you should find a number of tools there. sort by popularity and read the desriptions

Answer 3

ISO is an image file. For more info check the article on WIKI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image

In order to view or run the ISO file, you need to mount the file on a virtual drive. There are many different softwares available to create a virtual drive.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image_...

I personally prefer to use Daemon Tools as it is easy to use and free. You can download the file from this location. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download...

Just install and run it then create a virtual drive and then click on mount. Then browse for the ISO file on your pc and mount it. Then you should be able to see the contents of the ISO file.
