I would like to add some files to a previously created CD or DVD.
I was familiar with winiso or ultraiso, who do the job perfectly : you create an ISO file from your CD, and then you add files to the iso, and burn the iso to a CD, and your new files are there.
However, you have to pay for ultraiso. Do you know a free software doing correctly the same job ?

by the way, even though it sounds like it's for Windows XP, but it works quite well with Windows Vista too
What you could try is mounting the ISO file use daemon tools, create a new (empty) iso, copy all the file from the virtual drive and add the files you want.

It's still the same problem : you need a tool able to create the empty iso, and able to add files to that iso.

I also used to use WinISO but now I use an unusual alternative, WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/). WinRAR is not free but you can use the unlicensed version basically forever with only a nag screen. If you are not familiar with WinRAR then you should give it a look because it is the best archive software period. Several versions ago they added ISO support and now it’s what I use to modify and extract ISO’s.Link: view Post: 134364
I gave it a try, doesn't work. winrar is able to open an iso file, and extract some parts or extract everything, but cannot add a file to an iso. Even a registered version cannot do that.

isobuster also does not do the job : it does not allow you to add extra files to your iso.
I think I was thinking the wrong way. Probably the best way is to put all my files in a temporary folder, let's say c:\mycdtemp, and use mkisofs (the windows or the linux version) to create the final iso. A kind of step-by-step for having the binaries and a working syntax is here : http://www.g-loaded.eu/2007/04/25/how-to-c...d-with-mkisofs/
Of course, my goal is to create a multiple-linux bootable cd, and not to create a "windows bootable cd", but the principle of using mkisofs and the syntax provided makes sense :
QUOTE
mkisofs \-b cdboot/msboot.img -no-emul-boot -boot-load-seg 1984 -boot-load-size 4 \
-iso-level 2 -J -l -D -N -joliet-long -relaxed-filenames \
-V "WINSP" \
-o ../winsp.iso .
So, no need to modify an existing iso, when working that way the goal is to start from a folder and create an iso having that folder. Any further modifications will be simply add files to that original folder and re-create the iso file using the same syntax, and burn to CD, or test it with an emulated machine.
Hope this helps,

I did a google search on editing iso loop and this was the first hit: Tool to Open and Edit ISO . When Unix was originally designed by Bell Labs, the underlying concept was that everything was a file. Loopmount is the standard method of making that explicit.
Hope this helps!
P.S.: If you really want to do it in Windows, here is a specialized tool that may help: nLite. It is an ISO editor, specifically designed to edit (clean up) Windows XP. The folks on their forum may be able to tell you how to do it more generally in Windows, or a search on slipstream may get you what you are looking for in the Windows world.
There doesn't seem to be any complications with porting the Linux source over to Windows either, well that's just what I've seen by glancing over the code.

Other software that i use to work with and modify iso's are in this order
1) WinISO - I like it cause it reads more of the older format(s) and can backup and inject the boot information.
2) PowerISO - There are some iso files online that are stubborn with CDBurnerXP and WinIso, so i try this. (Trial has size limits)
3) Magic ISO Maker - If worst comes to worst then I take the time in install this program. (Trail has size limits)
4) Microsoft VirtualPC - boot from Virtual OS for testing purposes.
5) AutoStreamer - for slipstream SP(s)
I never use Nero suites and I tend to have problems with the Roxio and Sonic stuff on client machines sometimes but that's probably cause of old/oem versions, you never know.
** The main thing I've just recently noticed with compatibilities with DVD(s) are some dated drives don't support the DVD+R (like this laptop I'm on) Use a program like Everest Ultimate Edition to verify your CD/DVR-RW(s) compatibility.
Hope this helps
The syntax is somehow trapping for a newbie, needed some time to get it working :
CODE
mkisofs -o output.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .The trick is that all the files have to bee in the isolinux folder, including Menu.txt, and that syslinux.cfg has to be copied (or renamed) to isolinux.cfg

Note:some of them are not free
If you do it that way, the image will lose it's ability to boot. Booting is a characteristic not included in copying the image's files from the mount.

but better UltraISO it for the money
Just tried UltraISO Premium 9.3.2.2656: has a 300Mb size limit under trial.
In the earlier days when there was limited knowledge on copying, copyrights, and copy protection, the software was able to burn images with with similar optical defects, like copy protection.
It was not until recently, when a client of my needed to do some backup recording in CD+G (the Karaoke format). We tried a couple burners with no success other software suites. We then tried CD Clone, made some custom settings, burned at a slower rate. Success. Upon further research we found CD+G rely on the recorded sub channel data to show video information while the audio track is playing.
If you have approx 47.00 USD and are tired of the limitations of OEM/bundled recording software, give CD Clone a try.

Another software to try/buy if you have the money is. CD Clone/DVD Clone.You don't need to buy a CD emulation software. You can use the virtual CD driver from Microsoft, I'm very satisfied with it.
You find it here : http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b...rolpanel_21.exe
It even does not spoil your system. You copy it to somewhere on your PC. You start the driver, you choose a drive letter, you open the ISO file, and the iso file is seen as a CD reader. When you don't need it any more, you stop dismount the ISO file, you stop the driver, that's all.

Infra Recorder is a nice program to create ISO files, I like this software, is a good option.

Hi,
The direct answer would be "there is no such free/opensource software yet".
If you want to compile a new iso file from boot image and folders, you can try "burnatonce" (http://www.Softpedia.Com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/Data-CD-DVD-Burning/Burnatonce.Shtml). Though the GUI looks not so user friendly, it is very powerful. Try it!
If you are just looking for software for 1 time use without any restriction as that of Ultra ISO, use ISOmaster. It is a trial version but has no limitation on the size of the image you are trying to create (http://www.Littlesvr.Ca/isomaster/)
Hope this helps :)
