It's command line [arg!] and, even worse, despite its claim, doesn't allow specifying output directory. So it either doesn't create an ISO, or hides it somewhere that XP's Search is unable to find. Sigh. I share the above writers reservations re MagicISO, but the alternative, UIF2Iso is even worse.

What they actually are is a craptastic way for the author of MagicDisc to hock his useless app. That being said a lot of warez are being released in this format either by the author of this app or by foolish people. There is also another application that is identical in usefullness and in marketing strategy called PowerISO. It's useless proprietary file format is DAA. The same guy who makes UID2ISO also makes DAA2ISO, you can get them form here : http://aluigi.org/ These file formats are completely useless as they provide little or no file size difference due to the compression.
