Description
The following is a modified version of a C# program I downloaded at: https://isocs.codeplex.com/.
In its original state, this program simply creates .ISO files from just about any CD or DVD. My dilemma, which led me to creating this program is that our office frequently will receive disks in the mail (discs are ordinarily handled by our scanning dept. since they often contain .JPG, .DOCX, etc). However, in many cases, discs will instead have DICOM images or security footage that needs to be viewed using proprietary software (in these cases, the disc needs to be formatted as a .ISO in order for it to be viewed). Until now, I have been personally handling all inbound disks to our office because there isn’t anyone in the scanning dept confident enough to know when discs should be ISO-ed and how to format them, etc. It is this reason that I have been tasked with sorting through which of them need to be exported to .ISO and which do not (I have been using BurnAware free for those that require it). I finally came to my senses and solved this problem so that users of any skill can perform all of the above tasks with the click of a button!
My modifications to this program allow users of any caliber to insert a CD/DVD into their disk drive (currently this only works on one disc drive at a time) once inserted they will run ISO image inspector and click the “Inspect” button. From here, ISO image inspector will search the top directory of the disk for specific files in order to determine if it should be ISO-ed or not. When ready, the start button will perform one of two possible actions (depending on the containing files). If there are typical files, the start button will simply open up the letter dive in explorer (this is so the user can easily copy and name the contained files). Likewise, if the program recommends that the disc be saved as .ISO, then the user will be prompted to give the .ISO a name, and also be required to search for a directory where they would like to save the .ISO image. The following changes have been made to the original source code:
- All output has been translated to English.
- Inspect button has been added to evaluate the inserted disk, if the disk contains autorun., DICOMDIR., or README.*, ISO-ing the disk will be recommended.
- A progress bar has been added to better help users visualize the estimated remaining time of the .ISO creation.
- FolderBrowser dialogbox has been added for users to select a destination.
- Confirmation dialog box added confirming when .ISO files are finished, and likewise when a failure occurs in the export.
I will plan on updating with newer versions when I get time to work on this. Please also feel free to comment if I missed anything.
