    Not similar enough. WinCDEmu is a virtual drive emulator. PowerISO is an archiver and ISO editor.

    theres no converting option with iso to bin! I want a completely free software that converts iso to bin from a better company not brainwashed by GREED.

    At least it can edit ISO images, although it is not very good at it. DAEMON Tools isn't entirely free. ISO editing is a premium feature.

    This is a CD image mounting/converting application. No way to edit ISOs - only remastering (extract-modify-recreate) which destroys metadata. Fortunately it is more difficult to wreck original disc image if you must have TRIPLE space of it to make a slightly modified duplicate.

    This is outright dangerous. Any modification of existing iso will make the program "re-burn" it. Say goodbye to metadata. They all will be overwritten by CD burning application.
