Loading ...Download of the day: AcetoneISO - extract, browse ISO and other CD/DVD formats under Linux
AcetoneISO is the disk image emulator that mounts images of DVD and CD media. Both Mac OS X and Linux / other UNIX like oses can mount and use ISO images using loopback device. It is a DAEMON Tools (Microsoft Windows disk image) clone / emulator program with a lot more features.
Using this cool open source software means a user does not have to swap discs to run different programs on local or network computer. You can access software distributed (over Internet) as a disk image such as ISO, DAA, BIN or many other formats (no need to burn a CD/DVD to use disk image). Other usage:
- Prevent scratching, which can cause permanent damage to a disc
- Speeds up access times as hard drives are faster than optical drives
- Provides a backup copy of a disc, in case the original becomes damaged, lost, or stolen
Features:
- Mount and Unmount ISO, MDF, NRG (if iso-9660 standard)
- Convert BIN/CUE, MDF, NRG, CCD/IMG, CDI, XBOX, B5I/BWI, PDI, DAA to ISO
- Burn Your ISO, CUE, TOC images directly in K3b
- Blank Your CD/DVD ReWritable
- Verify md5sum of image files and Generate a Md5sum file from ISO
- Ability to create ISO from Folder and CD/DVD
- Service-Menu support
- Play a DVD-Movie ISO with Kaffeine, Mplayer, VLC, Kmplayer
- Split ISOs in smaller files and Merge them
- Quick Turbo Mount an ISO file from your Desktop
- Compress ISO with p7zip and extract
- Encrypt and Decrypt an ISO
- Generate a CUE file from a IMG/BIN image
- Rip a PSX cd to a bin/toc image
AcetoneISO has only one dependencies problem - Kommander. Make sure you have Kommander installed.
Step # 1: Install kommander
Use apt-get command to install kommander ( it consists of an editor and a program executor that produce dialogs that you can execute), which is required by AcetoneISO. You also need p7zip (a file archiver with highest compression ratio) to compress and extract ISO images. Use apt-get command under Debian or Ubuntu Linux as follows:
# apt-get install kommander p7zip
OR
$ sudo apt-get install kommander p7zip
Step # 2: Install AcetoneISO
Download source code or Debian .deb or Suse/Redhat RPM file from official website. Use apt-get / rpm command. Use apt-get command to install .deb file:
# apt-get install AcetoneISO-6.7.deb
OR use rpm package for RPM based distro:
# rpm -ivh AcetoneISO-6.7.noarch.rpm
Step # 2: Start AcetoneISO program
Simply type the command or click on Application > Accessories > AcetoneISO:
$ acetoneiso &

Looks like an awesome utility especially with the ability to handle more exotic typically windows only formats (daa, mdf etc). real shame about the KDE dependencies though.
chris,
Yup, a nice little program. Oh, if you are using Ubutu/Debian installing this package is quite easy; as it fetch and installs required kde libs also.
Nice tool. Too bad it’s KDE.
Oh well we still have isomaster for GTK.

Is there ever going to be support for .dmg files? That would sell it for me!
Great Tool! But why is this not integrated into default KDE-System?! I really would like to see this tool as a default option in KDE.
lamest program I ever seen. It doesnt work with anything
installed it correctly, started it and mount : well thats something like in luxury, but not all the bad publicity goes to Acetone Iso, there are plenty of other lame programs for emulating like Power Iso again an important program for daa files mount(through wine). If you really want a constructive criticise post this.
I apolagyse for my previous post I kind of got angry of my misshappnes
hey acetoneiso2 came out it rocks!!!
thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Looks to be a nice tool. Unfortunately it is KDE-based, and I’m a very convinced GNOME fan. Anyway, I’ve downloaded it and I’ll give it a try.
If anyone, with programming skills and enough time to work on it can make it accesible in Gnome GTK, it would be highly appreciated (I think).
Thanks for the utility.
@ Zolero: There is now a GTK port on the main website. Google and enjoy. Thanks AcetoneISO!
thank for this product i hope it helps me
excellent
