AcetoneISO
Encyclopedia
AcetoneISO is a free software
program to mount and manage image files. Its goals are to be simple, intuitive and stable. Written in Qt 4
, this software is meant for all those people looking for a "Daemon Tools
for Linux". However, AcetoneISO does not emulate any copy protection while mounting.
AcetoneISO also supports Direct Access Archive
(*.daa) images because it uses the non-free and proprietary PowerISO
Linux software as a backend while converting images to ISO.
In recent releases (as of 2010), AcetoneISO also gained native support at blanking CD/DVD optical discs and burn ISO/CUE/TOC images to CD-R/RW and DVD-+R/RW (including DL) thanks to external open source tools such as cdrkit
, cdrdao
and growisofs.
It is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License
