CNET editors' review
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
"LIMITED USE - VIRTUALLY USELESS FREE"
Pros: I don't know any pros because I couldn't use it for what I wanted.
Cons: If you read the "free" version information you will see that there is a limit to how much you can mount. I believe it is in the range of 350 MB - which is pretty-well useless for most DVDs.
Summary: There needs to be a clear and obvious disclaimer to those who think this is freeware. The limit of what you can mount is totally crippling if you want to mount a large game file or DVD.
I found this out only after trying for over an ho... read more >> -

Version: PowerISO 4.6
"2 Stars for the interface..."
Pros: I like the user interface, but that's all.This won't work on my Sony Vaio VGN-CS115J with Vista.
Cons: It will start to burn only to give me an error message after ruining the disc (I tried 3).
Summary: I don't know why it wouldn't work and I don't have time to dig around to find out!
