Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 07, 2008
This muscular disc-imaging utility is not kidding around (though we thought the demo might be). PowerISO lets you mount virtual drives, create bootable discs, and generate CD and floppy images. It supports a huge number of image formats, including standard ISO and IMG files as well as files created by almost all popular disc-burning programs such as Nero, CloneCD, and Alcohol120%.
Our one major caveat is that the trial version doesn't let you create images larger than 300MB (most CDs hold 700MB), making it much harder to fully test the product. On the other hand, the trial period is unlimited, so some users may actually prefer this arrangement. Trial restrictions aside, we think PowerISO makes a good pick for intermediate to advanced users.

Version: PowerISO 4.6
"Best ISO + mounting tool out there"
Pros: -Super clean programming, lightweight
-Fastest burning prog. out there
-ISO tools are flawless, mounting is excellent (better than Daemon Tools)Cons: Lack of features and 'flair' lol. Very simple, probably doesn't suite most novice users. Doesn't have audio/video conversion tools for burning (I use different programs anyway).
-Should cost $20 instead of $30.Summary: This thing does everything for me that a fancy, bloated program (like nero) does; only PowerISO is far better.

Version: PowerISO 4.6
"Excellent, as every update has been!."
Pros: Mounts and burns effortlessly; You can even control the speed of the burn, and have PowerISO verify all written data with a simple checkmark. Also great for virtulization of DVD's. Great tool to make *bootable* DVD's, (+USB sticks) of Windows, for ex
Cons: I can't think of any...
Summary: Most of the bad reviewers should make sure they know what they're doing before giving the product a bad rating.
