MagicISO (also referred to as MagicISO Maker) is a CD/DVD image shareware utility that can extract, edit, create, and burn disc image files. It offers the possibility of converting between ISO and CUE/BIN and their proprietary UIF disc image format as well.

In addition to being able to edit the contents of the disc images without decompressing, it can make a disc image from an existing CD/DVD-ROM. Also, it can make boot-able image files (file extension .bif). MagicISO can mount disc images with the addition of MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager.

The trial version cannot handle disc images larger than 300 Mb. MagicISO is currently produced by MagicISO, Inc. The Company's domain name is registered to an address in Shanghai, China.

MagicDisc

MagicDisc, sometimes known as MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager is a freeware virtual drive counterpart to MagicISO. It is a separate download needed to mount discs virtually. MagicDisc can also decompress UIF images to ISO format.

Unlike MagicISO, MagicDisc does not have support for .daa files that were produced by PowerISO.

Universal Image Format

Universal Image Format or UIF is a proprietary disc image format for CDs and DVDs that uses compression created by MagicISO Inc. In addition to compression it also supports password-protection, data encryption, built in MD5 check sums and multi-session CD/DVD, Audio-CD, VCD, SVCD and DVD-Video[2].
