ISO 9660, UDF. An optical disc image (or ISO image, from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media) is a disk image that contains everything that would be written to an optical disc, disk sector by disc sector, including the optical disc file system. [3] ISO images contain the binary image of an optical media file system (usually ISO 9660 ...

A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2] Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
ISO 9660 (also known as ECMA -119) is a file system for optical disc media. The file system is an international standard available from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Since the specification is available for anybody to purchase, [1] implementations have been written for many operating systems .
Comparison to ISO images. ISO images are another type of optical disc image files, which commonly use the .iso file extension, but sometimes use the .img file extension as well. They are similar to the raw optical disc images, but contain only one track with computer data obtained from an optical disc.
Developed by. Microsoft. Type of format. Disk image. The Windows Imaging Format ( WIM) is a file -based disk image format. It was developed by Microsoft to help deploy Windows Vista and subsequent versions of the Windows operating system family, as well as Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs. [3]
The ISO base media file format ( ISOBMFF) is a container file format that defines a general structure for files that contain time-based multimedia data such as video and audio. [3] [4] It is standardized in ISO / IEC 14496-12, a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 12, and was formerly also published as ISO/IEC 15444-12, a.k.a. JPEG 2000 Part 12.
Various. Universal Disk Format ( UDF) is an open, vendor-neutral file system for computer data storage for a broad range of media. In practice, it has been most widely used for DVDs and newer optical disc formats, supplanting ISO 9660. Due to its design, it is very well suited to incremental updates on both write-once and re-writable optical media.
