burning DVD ISO files

[MLC]

My company has given me an ISO file that is supposedly cut from a DVD.
I need to burn this back to a disk but only have a cdrw drive. Is it
possible to burn this to a cdr disk (perhaps spanning multiple disks)
or perhaps extract it and rebuild the ISO as something that is
compatible with a cdrw drive?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you have the burning software Nero, you might have a piece of software
called Nero ImageDrive which would make a virtual DVD drive on your Hard
Drive.
You can then mount the .iso image and use it as a virtual DVD drive/disk.
Failing that Daemon Tools can do the same.
You would have to have sufficient room on your Hard Drive, about 5GB.

bit of a long shot but go to

http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/

then the free section and get

BurnCDCC

****<quote>****
This utility will burn a CD/DVD disc from a CD/DVD file image. These files
are typically refered to as ISO files.

If the image is less than 700Mb and with a bit of luck, you might end up
with a mini-DVD.

I already have software that will burn ISO files to cdr and have done
that before with such things as a RedHat Fedora download and that works.
My question is since the ISO I got from the company is supposedly a ISO
from a DVD is there a requirement that I have to use a DVD writer to
write the ISO back out to disk? In otherwords can I just load the ISO
into my burning software and have it write to cdr? Is there anything
special about a DVD ISO? What happens if the size is greater than the
cdr? Will it prompt me for another disk?

look for ultraISO
it can unpack iso image files to hard disk, so you don't need to burn it

 

[Juzme]

It should burn to CD if small enough or you can take the interm step as
Bandolero said. Consider Chainsaw (
http://www.frankenwandern.de/software/chainsaw.html ) as a possibility if
needed. Juzme

As long as it will fit on a CD, yes.

No. No program I know of at least. I suppose you could shrink it to
fit on a CD with DVDShrink but if it is an image of an entire DVD
(4.3GB) it would be a pretty extreme shrink to 700MB. Tell your company
to buy you a DVD drive.

No it will not prompt for another disk. Give it a try, at worst it will
fail and you will have a coaster.

As previously mentioned Daemon Tools is worth a try or if you are using
Linux you can mount an .iso
something like this.

<quote> To mount the ISO image file.iso to the mount point /mnt/test use
this command:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test <unquote>

I think that there is no freeware that can edit (as in, add/delete
files) an ISO image.

May need you to type 'modprobe loop' first. (some distros require this).

Typo, this should have been: "You may need..."

Don't know if it will work or not but I remember making a "new" ISO file
from a modified ISO on a SLAX cd. You copied all the files from the cd
onto the hard drive,made the changes and then ran a program "mkisofs"
and then the ISO created became a bootable cd again. Don't know it if
will work on what you're doing

Until the boss asks you, 6 months after the last time you thought
about that particular code, to make a "minor" modification. Then you
gain new respect for those you used to laugh at who document each line
of code. (WHAT was I trying to do with this function, again?)

They offer a Freeware app. How about a "treasure hunt". I'd be
interested in knowing how long it takes people to find the Freeware on
the author's site.
