ImgBurn is free software that handles all of the features youВ need to burnВ data, ISO, and even audio disks, easily and efficiently.Дownload ImgBurnВ and install it, but be awareВ of two important thing as you do so. While your computer may have come with software you might use to burn ISO filesВ (or perhaps trialВ versions of burning software), I delete or ignore all of those and use ImgBurnВ instead. You need to use a different technique to burn an ISO file to disc. An ISO file can beВ thought of as containing a data disc, with files and file systemВ already laid out. That doesnвЂ™t work when burning an ISO file. The software then creates the file system and lays out the files on theВ disk. Normally, when we write data discs (CD, DVD, or Blu-ray), we might take a fewВ files and drag and drop them into some burning software, or even use WindowsВ itself. ThereвЂ™s no compression performed, so an ISO file thatВ contains the contents of a 640- megabyte CD would itself be 640 megabytes inВ size. ISO files are typically exact copies of the data that would otherwise beВ placed onto a CD or DVD. Become a Patron of Ask Leo! and go ad-free! ISO Files
