Convert ISO to VCD

What is ISO file?

ISO is an .ISO Disc Image File. It is a copy of an optical disc such as CD, DVD, or Blu Ray and can contain a single file or multiple folders. It functions like an archive file because you can access all of its contents without having the need to extract it first. [ ⏩ ] ISO file extension

What is VCD file?

The .VCD file extension is used to store data on a Virtual CD (VCD) image file. VCDs are used in AUTHO, WinISO, and PowerISO as a way to store data in a single file, while preserving the formatting and layout of a traditional CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Such files can be opened and read by many programs, allowing for CD-ROM data to be easily copied, shared, or viewed without having physical media. [ ⏩ ] VCD file extension

How to convert the file from ISO to VCD?

To successfully convert the ISO file to VCD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.ISO). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case VCD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than VCD).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. ISO to VCD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting ISO files to VCD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension VCD, while before this step we had the ISO file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VCD file, or not.
