Guest Alan T Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I got a file with .iso, my first thought was this is an image file I need to burn using Nero as image. However, I can unzip using WinRAR. It seems cannot tell what this file is by looking at the file extension. Just wonder what would be burnt onto DVD if I use Nero to burn this using 'image' method?

Guest Bert Kinney Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: ISO file extension Hi Alan, You are correct, .iso is an image file. These type of image files often contain many files such as an application or OS and are used to reduse file corruption when downloaded. In Nero, choose "Burn Image to Disk" to extract the files contained in the image and burn them to disk.
