MagicISO Editor's Review

'MagicISO' is a CD/DVD burning software. It's intended to help you create, edit, or extract ISO files. The producer claims that it can convert BIN or any other file format created by CD burning software, such as Nero Burning ROM or Easy CD Creator. It supports drag-and-drop for importing files. When you open the program, you might think that you traveled back in time, because its interface looks like Windows 98.

Only a few features that are not the very important are listed in its main window. The program looks like it's intended for CD burning. One of the features listed on its main window is 'Make boot image from floppy disk'. When was the last time you used a floppy disc? If you used a floppy, did you make a boot image? Moreover, almost everybody uses DVDs now, but there is no shortcut for burning DVDs. Creating a boot image is among its features, but on its interface, there is an area inside a thick circle with the 'Non-Bootable' text inside. When I tested the program it worked on CDs, but I was very disappointed when it came to DVDs.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: Very difficult to use and it has an old interface design.

In conclusion: The producer might consider changing the interface of this program with a new one. He could also add more features on its main window. Then, I might change my opinion about this program, but until then I prefer Nero.
