Part1: Something about ISO Image File
We all purchase DVDs and Blu-rays with movies, music, games, or software. However, these discs cannot be preserved for a long time and they become unusable after a few years. The only solution is to purchase them again, which seems like a waste of money. Why do I have to pay two times for what I have bought? So in such condition, most people choose to create an ISO image file to back up the DVDs or Blu-rays.
What is an ISO image file? An ISO image is a type of disc image created by copying an entire disc into a file. An ISO is a file so it can be permanently preserved and can be extracted to play whenever you want to read the contents. We often use an ISO maker to create an ISO file from a DVD disk. There’re a lot of DVD converters available to convert DVD to an ISO image file. f2fsoft Blu-ray Creator is a really nice choice.
Part2: How to Extract an ISO image
Generally, it is unnecessary to open ISO files and view their contents, because they can be written to a disc without doing so. However, knowing how to open ISO files will allow you to troubleshoot any problems with the disc image or locate specific data within the image.
For Windows 8 and 10: On Windows 8 and 10, Windows has the built-in ability to mount an ISO image. You can simply double-click the ISO file or Right –click and select the Mount option to extract it.
For Windows 7: In Windows 7, you can install a third-party program such as Daemon Tools or WinRAR to extract the ISO file to your hard drive.
For Mac: It’s also very easy to mount an ISO image in Mac because you can extract an ISO file simply by double-clicking it and it will be put on your desktop. If it doesn’t work, use Disk utility in the applications in clicks.
