- Select some files or directories, and then create the ISO based on these files. Make bootable ISO file. Because of its file associations, you can simply double click an ISO file in Windows Explorer to open it.
- On a Mac, double-clicking common disc image formats will mount them. This is why you can simply double-click a downloaded.DMG file to access its contents and install Mac applications, for example. The DiskImageMounter application that handles this can.
- Apr 22, 2008 For most ISO images you can mount them simply by double-clicking the ISO image file, and it will go through the auto-mounter app within Mac OS X putting it on your desktop. If for whatever reason that doesn’t work there are other methods to mount ISO’s within Mac OS X, and we’ll cover ways to do this with the built-in Disk Utility and a more advanced option of using the command line.

Comparison criteria[edit]
This article compares two features: Supported file formats and capabilities of the software as to how they treat the image format.
Capabilities[edit]
- 'Creates?'
- Specifies whether the application can create a new disc image file, either by capturing the image of an actual disc, by composing a disc image file from locally stored files or an empty disc image.
- 'Modifies?'
- Specifies whether the application is able to manipulate the contents of an existing disc image file, including adding, changing or deleting files within or modifying disc image metadata.
- 'Mounts?'
- Specifies whether the application can emulate an optical disc drive. Such an application treats a disc image file like a virtual disc and virtually inserts it into that emulated virtual drive.
- 'Writes/Burns?'
- Specifies whether the application can write the contents of a disk image file onto a physical media (such as an optical disc, a floppy disk, a hard disk drive or a USB flash drive) and create a physical replica.
- 'Extracts?'
- Specifies whether the application can copy some or all of the files within a disc image file to somewhere else.

A powerful Macintosh-formatted CD, DVD, BD, Flash card, Hard Drive - HFS(+) disc reader for Windows.
Iso File Extract For Mac
IsoBuster supports the HFS and HFS+ file-systems which are used by Mac computers on all types of Mac formatted media, such as optical discs (CD, DVD, BD) as well as Flash media, floppies and Hard Drives of all types and makes. Apart from being able to deal with all sorts of media and all Windows based disc/disk file systems, IsoBuster also interprets HFS(+) which allows it to extract Mac files to a Windows PC. (*)
Iso File Reader For Mac
For optimal compatibility it is also possible to extract Mac files to Mac Binary files, so that they can be taken back (e.g. e-mailed) to a Macintosh machine. IsoBuster itself is not a Macintosh application, but a Windows application, although it works on Mac if used under the Virtual PC for Mac environment. For more details, especially for those with engineering desires, it may be interesting to browse through some help file articles on Mac related features:
Not unimportant is also that IsoBuster supports multiple partitions on Mac created discs/disks. They are shown immediately, after the disc is mounted. And last, but not least, Mac image files, e.g. *.iso and *.dmg files are opened as if they are actual floppies, CDs, DVDs or flash cards.
(*)This means the ability to copy Macintosh files to PC, convert Mac files to PC, read Mac files from Mac created/formatted discs on a Windows PC platform.
