files. It compares their disk image handling features.


Comparison criteria

This article compares two features: Supported file formats and capabilities of the software as to how they treat the image format.


Capabilities

;Creates?: Specifies whether the application can create a new disc image file, either by capturing the image of an actual disc, by composing a disc image file from locally stored files or an empty disc image. ;Modifies?: Specifies whether the application is able to manipulate the contents of an existing disc image file, including adding, changing or deleting files within or modifying disc image metadata. ;Mounts?: Specifies whether the application can emulate an optical disc drive. Such an application treats a disc image file like a virtual disc and virtually inserts it into that emulated virtual drive. ;Writes/Burns?: Specifies whether the application can write the contents of a disk image file onto a physical media (such as an
