motors Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Anyone know of good programs for burning and/or mounting .iso files (preferably freeware)? I can never get older versions of daemon tools to work and I heard the newer versions have spyware on them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I heard the newer versions have spyware on them. This is half true. It's actually adware (but could escalate in to spyware). The deamon tools installer has the installer for the adware bundled inside it but is a separate program completely. The deamon tools installer will automatically execute the adware installer but it has a separate user agreement to which you can decline to agree to.

motors Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 So there is an opt-out for it on the newer versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 If you want to burn them, try http://cdburnerxp.se/ To mount them, try Daemon tools, like an older one. Google for an older mirror or check a torrent site for the older ones. Using daemon tools, you have to reboot after installing it for the virtual drive to show up, then mount any ISO file you want. If I can find it, I will post it on my site for you. I have it somewhere on cd (Older, adware free version). I currently have it installed on my laptop but I have to find the installer in my archives of discs somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 ImgBurn for burning. Small, light, quick, does it all with no fuss and works on Vista too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried getting Daemon tools twice before but I encountered some kind of system errors. I've got a new copy of XP since then but it would still be reassuring if I got a download from someone who knows it works. Thanks to everyone who replied.

You really don't have to do that. Have you seen the picture of my desktop? Ye, I have deamon tools 4.12.3 installed. It's not running at the time of the screen shot, but it is installed.

It's not running at the time of the screen shot, but it is installed. Really don't have to do what? Install an older version? I was just saying that because I know there are older versions that don't try to install a toolbar, nor do they ask you to install anything other than Daemon tools itself. I see plenty of mirrors from google though, so it isn't a hard program to find many different versions of the program. I even saw one ftp site that had like 10 versions from 3.33 on up to 4.1x something or other. Still, the one I have (somewhere) works just fine, so I have no reason to upgrade it at this point. I rarely need to use it myself anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoke_007 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I use MagicDisc for mounting disk images, it's freeware. http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-mag...sc-overview.htm DVD Decrypter is free and will rip and burn. http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ The project's dead now though, but the program still works great. Hint, this software also works great with DVD Shrink. http://www.filehippo.com/download_dvdshrink/ "ImgBurn carries on from where DVD Decrypter left off"... Haven't used the program myself yet. http://www.filehippo.com/download_imgburn/ Smoke_007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Side note: Most Linux distributions have all this functionality out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Side note: Most Linux distributions have all this functionality out of the box. Side note: The functionality you mention is generally provided by free tools that just happen to be included in the Linux distribution and are not part of Linux itself. Microsoft could just as easily do the same but they'd be accused of taking advantage of their monopoly position... because everyone else (that is, the everyone else who's now bundling anything and everything with their software) complained.

webjockey Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I use PowerISO for Mounting ISOs, IMGBurn for Burning *anything*. IMGBurn worked where all others failed so I stand by it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
