ISO Files

[Esco!]

I'm downloading an .ISO file of Encarta 2009
I have no clue what to do with it though

I dont wanna go the virtual drive rout since I have no idea how to do that
Can I just burn the ISO onto a DVD and then read the encyclopedia from there???

How does all this work??

yeah, just use nero or other burning program.

select burn image to disc , then you should be good to go.
pop it in like a normal dvd and watch/read from there.

i think you can open it with winrar before you burn it

But then how does the DVD drive read it??? Like a book in a .pdf format???

It has to use some program to view the encyclopedia, doesnt it???

It partially installs itself......don't need a reader

How big is it ? you might need a dual layer dvd

It's 2.6 GB wrapped, and about 3 or 4 GB unwrapped with winrar.

I think it can barely fit on one DVD disc

An .iso file is a DVD image so it will exactly 1 DVD big. I use imgburm. It's freeware:

you don't need to unrar, an ISO is, as Norm said an exact image of the original
so you just burn it and its like you've got the original.
