What is ISO file format, and DMG,
UDF, VMDK files
|
|
PeaZip supports reading .ISO and other common disk image formats, such
as Apple DMG (commonly used on macOS / OSX operating systems), UDF, and
viewing many virtual machine disk image types
including
VMDK VMWare virtual disks, QCOW2, Oracle VDI, Microsoft Virual Hard
Disk VDH
files, as well as general purpose image formats as IMA, IMG, and MDF.
Burning ISO or other images to CD/DVD supports is
currently out of the scope of the application, and it is not
implemented.
PeaZip also features support to reading and
writing WIM files,
new Microsoft Windows Image Format for
data distribution based on disk images,
superseding older CAB packages format.

.DMG
DMG
extension designates Apple
Disk Image format, commonly employed for software and data package
distribution on
macOS / Mac OSX platform, storing content in Universal Disk Image
Format (UDIF
data
format).
PeaZip supports opening (mounting), browsing and extracting content
from DMG disk
images, but cannot create dmg packages, nor update existing dmg files.
|
.ISO
Uncompressed
sector-based imaging format storing binary digital copy,
sector-by-sector, of an optical disk support, filesystem agnostic (may
contain in example an ISO 9660 file system, as well as other file
systems), commonly used to save as single archive file a data CD, DVD,
or Blu-Ray disk.
PeaZip supports opening (mounting), browsing and extracting content
from iso disk
images. Creation of ISO images, or burning disk images to physical
media supports, is beyond the scope of the program.
|
.UDF
UDF extension designates Universal File Format,
an open standard (ISO 13346, created by Optical Storage Technology
Association) for data storage, developed for overcoming limitations of
older ISO 9660 standard.
PeaZip provides read-only support for that file type; the application
supports opening (mounting), browsing and extracting content from udf
disk
images.
|
Other disk image formats
PeaZip supports (read-only) multiple virtual disk imaging types, as
IMA, IMG,
IMZ, MDF (Alcohol 120 image files), and many virtual machine disk
formats like
QCOW2 (for QUEMU full-system emulator), VMDK (for VMWare virtualization
software family), VDI for Oracle VirtualBox, and Microsoft
Virtual PC's Virtual Hard Disk format VHD.
