PowerISO is a powerful image processing and file compression tool, which allows you to create, extract, compress, edit and convert ISO/BIN image files, and mount these files with internal virtual drive. Most of all, the compressed files can be used directly without decompressing. Supports almost all CD/DVD-ROM image file formats (ISO, BIN, NRG, DAA, etc).

    the proprietary issue is a complete non-issue, just select the type of CD/DVD image you want (iso) at rip time... so I dont get that complaint.. they are definitely not trying to tie you into anything, the daa is nice if you want on the fly compression, if you don't want to use it, no problem , one click at rip time... jeez

    this program is great:
    - gets continuous updates
    - works in win7 since pre beta 1, nobody else did
    - worked in vista from beta 1.. nobody else did
    - works in 64 and 32 with same install, I had tons of problems with other ISO apps
    - is very small / resource light, but powerful
    - has an easy to use, intuitive interface
    - doesn't use an add on for virtualization, or need a plugin for anything in basic use
    - I've never had a single problem with it

    I used ultraISO, daemon, just about all the ones mentioned here and elsewhere.. the closest one is UltraISO, but PowerISO wins by a nose because Ive had some UltraISO problems in the past... you notice none of the bad mouth reviewers here said anything about PowerISO breaking, right? that's cause it doesn't ever that I've ever seen

    Again, after comparing this with several other ISO utilities (UltraISO, ISOBuster, etc), there is no compelling reason to choose it over any other besides the ability to open the PROPRIETARY daa format, and even that doesnt justify it given that there are also many freeware utilities which do just what this can do. Sorry, 2/5

    Here's the actual revision list:

    PowerISO 4.1 (Jun 18, 2008)
    +) Can create mixed mode image file.
    +) Support better and best compression methods.
    *) Some minor bug fixes and improvements.

    One of those minor fixes is the use of hinted fonts in the main window of the program. That used to look sketchy before on LCD even with ClearType enabled and despite the fonts used for the menus and icons looking great. Now it's all fine.
