How to Burn ISO to CD with Wondershare DVD Creator
Step One: Launch Wondershare DVD Creator
When you launch the Wondershare DVD Creator, you’ll find yourself face-to-face with this welcome menu (refer to the image below.) On there, select the More DVD Tools >> option to be brought to the activity screen shown in Step Two.
Step Two: ISO to DVD
On this screen, you’ll see that there is a variety of different modules that you can choose from. These are only some of the tools available with the Wondershare DVD Creator, a selection wherein we’re going to choose the ISO to DVD module.
Step Three: Browse for ISO File
This window should appear on your screen. There, the first thing you’ll be prompted to do is ‘choose ISO file.’ Do so by clicking the trio of dots (highlighted in the image below.) That will prompt a pop-up window where you can browse your PC for ISO files available on your computer.
Step Four: Burn
Next, you have to make sure that you have the correct burner selected! Do so by activating the Burner: drop-down menu. (You can click the “Refresh” icon if your burner of choice is not showing up). Once that’s done, click “Burn” to initiate the permanent copy of your ISO to CD.
Step Five: Wait for ISO to Burn
Wait patiently for your ISO to complete burning onto your CD and you should be able to see the window appear like the one below! That means, that your disc is complete burning. All you have to do then is click the “Finish” button and eject your disc.
Part 2. How to Burn ISO to CD on Mac Computer
Now, let’s talk about how you might be able to burn ISO to CD using a Mac PC! For this, we’re going to stick to the very basics and use the built-in burner available. Mac OS computers will allow you to burn ISO images onto a disc, but you’re going to have to find another way of mounting that disc in order for the files inside of it to be read properly.
How to Burn ISO to CD on Mac Computer
Step One: Go > Utilities > Disc Utilities
The first step in the process is to locate the “Utilities” folder in the Go tab. The folder itself should appear like this (refer to the image below.) There, you’ll find the “Disc Utilities” module. To recap, access the Go tab > select Utilities > and then click the Disc Utilities module.
Step Two: Drop ISO file
If you were able to do the previous step successfully, then the Disc Utility window should have launched (shown in the image below.) This is where most of the ISO to CD process comes in. If you have a burner connected to your PC, then you should be able to simply drag and drop an ISO image file onto the highlighted area in the image below. Do so, and you’ll be able to move forward.
Step Three: Insert Disc
Next, insert a blank disc into your DVD/CD burner. Once your PC has finished reading the disc, a pop-up should appear on your screen. Ignore it and move onto the next step.
Step Four: Burn Disc
On the top left-hand side of the screen, you should be able to find the Burn icon. Select it, and a drop-down menu will appear to give you a couple of burn options. The only important option is really the Speed option: Choose a speed that suits your timeline (if there is one), just remember that slower speeds tend to result in better discs. Click “Burn” to start the ISO to CD process and you should have your ISO file successfully mounted onto your disc in a couple of minutes (up to a couple of hours.)
Part 3. Tips & Tricks about burning ISO to CD
To wrap up this breakdown of how to burn ISO to CD. We’re going to list a couple of tips and tricks that might be helpful for you to know! Of course, most of these tips and tricks will be using both the Wondershare DVD Creator and the Mac Disk Utilities program as our examples, but they should also generally be applicable to most ISO to CD burners.
Tip #1: The ISO File
Before we go too far into the actual ISO to CD burning, let’s first talk about the ISO file that you’re looking to burn onto a disc. Have you tested it? Are you certain that it will be able to function as needed? The best way to test this out is to mount it onto a program like PowerISO, that way, you won’t be burning a defective ISO image file onto a disc (which would just ruin the risk in the end.)
Tip #2: The Disc
The Disc, be it a CD or DVD, should be chosen with the ISO image in mind! For one, even though most ISO files are compressed in form, they still have a tendency of taking a lot of storage space (it, of course, will depend on what drive it was made to be an image for.) In any case, make sure that your disc can handle the ISO file that you want to burn onto it! Check the storage and make sure that it’s appropriately sized.
Tip #3: Waiting Time
Something else that is of importance, is the waiting time! Burning ISO to CD is fairly easy to do. Using the methods, we broke down step-by-step above, then it should only take you a couple of minutes at most. It’s waiting for the ISO to be burned onto the disc that usually takes a while! BUT it shouldn’t take more than an hour or two (and occasionally might even be finished within half an hour.) Just remember to be patient and allow it to do its thing.
Tip #4: Burn Speed
In conjunction with our previous tip, we’re going to be discussing Burn Speed. We mentioned it briefly in our Mac tutorial but burn speed is important — more than just how fast you want your CD to finish processing. Because CDs created with slower burn speeds tend to be of higher quality — making it all the better for the long run.
Tip #5: Get Extra Help
One reason you might want to choose to use a premium product like the Wondershare DVD Creator is that you get the added bonus of customer service. This is especially important when you’ve run into a problem that’s not covered by the general introduction guides. With ‘live’ help you can be certain that you’ll be able to do what needs to be done correctly.
Conclusion:
That concludes our quick ISO to CD breakdown! As you’ve probably learned, it’s not really all that difficult to do. You just need the correct tools for the job! In honor of that, we recommend using the Wondershare DVD Creator for all of your ISO to DVD burning needs. If only because using such a premium project like this will definitely ensure that your experience is as stress-free as possible!
