It is able to read and write to disc images without decompressing or moving the files. It can also convert the data from existing CD/DVD-ROMs to disc images and create bootable image files (file extension .bif). MagicISO can mount disc images with the addition of MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager.
The trial version cannot handle disc images larger than 300 MB. MagicISO is currently produced by MagicISO, Inc.
Features
editUniversal Image Format or UIF is a proprietary disc image format for CDs and DVDs designed for MagicISO. Compared to the widespread simpler image formats like .iso and .bin, UIF adds compression, password-protected encryption, MD5 checksums, and multi-session images.[4] [5] MagicISO supports CIF files created by Easy CD Creator, but only data CDs (ISO 9660 compatibles), not audio CDs. MagicISO also installs a context menu which is not removed with the software when uninstalled; rather, it remains on the system you installed the program on and is not easily removed. MagicDisc, known as MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager, is a freeware virtual drive counterpart to MagicISO. It is a separate application needed to mount discs virtually. MagicDisc can also decompress UIF images to ISO format.[6]
