An ISO file is a disk image of a disc, in other words, it is an archive file that contains everything that will be written to the disc. ISO files first appeared in the CD era, but now we are more likely to see them on DVD and Blu-ray discs. Disc files are packaged in this format because a single ISO archive is smaller in size than multiple files and folders and is easier to work with.

However, the downside of ISO files is that a specialized tool is required to extract the files from the archive. If the content of the ISO file is a DVD/Blu-ray movie, a special player is required to play and use it normally. So, next, let’s take a look at the method of playing ISO files.
