MagicISO


MagicISO is a CD/DVD image shareware utility that can extract, edit, create, and burn disc image files. It offers the possibility of converting between ISO and CUE/BIN and their proprietary Universal Image Format disc image format.
In addition to being able to edit the contents of the disc images without decompressing, it can make a disc image from an existing CD/DVD-ROM. Also, it can make bootable image files. MagicISO can mount disc images with the addition of MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager.
The trial version cannot handle disc images larger than 300 MB. MagicISO is currently produced by MagicISO, Inc.

Universal Image Format

Universal Image Format or UIF is a proprietary disc image format for CDs and DVDs designed for MagicISO. Compared to the widespread simpler image formats like.iso and.bin, UIF adds compression, password-protected encryption, MD5 checksums and multi-session images.

Problems with MagicISO

MagicISO supports CIF files created by Easy CD Creator, but only data CDs, not audio CDs. MagicISO also installs a context menu through the file C:\MagicISO\misosh64.dll which is not removed with the software when uninstalled, rather, it remains on your system and is not easily removed.

MagicDisc

MagicDisc, sometimes known as MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager is a freeware virtual drive counterpart to MagicISO. It is a separate download needed to mount discs virtually. MagicDisc can also decompress UIF images to ISO format.
Unlike MagicISO, MagicDisc does not have support for.daa files that were produced by PowerISO.
