How to create CD/DVD Image


CD/DVD image is any file, which inside it contains the information, file, setup, images, or sound taken directly from any CD or DVD and it later can be stored inside a hard disk drive.  In short, it is a clone of a CD/DVD in form of file. It is important in playing video game emulator especially for any emulators that support cd images like psx or playstation 2.

Every time you use a cd rom drive to play a game, the cd game as well as the drive will get older by usage. Using CD image software, we can put ease the cd game that we bought (it is only used the first time we create image) as well as the drive.

Imagine you can store the CD/DVD image in the hard disk drives; you can start your emulator and play your game without even opening your CD/DVD drive. Also, the game played using Iso generally work faster than the one using CD/DVD drive

Another interesting method is you can create backup CD of your legit game copy (here I don’t encourage piracy, it is just for personal use)

The good thing about using CD/DVD imaging is you can also use it to create back up of your other data (not only game). You can backup your music, document, and you can even create backup of your other media CD/DVD (just don’t sell your backup its illegal)
