Create ISOs
==============

Sometimes I find the need to create ISOs on my computer. DVD Decrypter does this well for DVDs in your DVD-ROM drive. However, what do you do if your videos or standard files are located on your computer and not on a DVD disc?

I found this great freeware tool that created an ISO file from my DVD files on my hard drive in less than five minutes.

MOUNT ISOs
==============

If for some reason, you need to mount your ISO drive to a virtual drive, then ISODISK is your freeware.

I found the need to do this to play a blue-ray disc on my non blue raydrive in my computer. I had an ISO of a blue ray movie and the DVD player I had (can'trecall the name but it wasn't free - had trial), played my blue raywith no problems. I was able to do this, since the DVD player thought I had a blue ray disc in my drive.

OPEN ISOs
==============

Winrar can do this nicely. Just make sure the software is associated with ISO files.
