winiso vs. ultraiso


Question

i'm backup up alot of stuff right now but forgot to rename the cds in order to keep them quite sorted. so i have several images (iso,ccd,cue/bin etc) on my harddisk now which are all named the same. i found out that i can edit the name and re-save them with winiso or ultraiso. my question: which ones of the two programs is better? they seem quite easy to use and both very similar. does one of them have any advantages or disadvantages?

thanks for the upcoming replys.

WinISO does something which I grew to find very irritating. It would make the name of all files it created all CAPS. I kept on having to rename them to their small characters every single time. Another thing which I didn't like was the way you could add directories/files, there wasn't any pane to drag/drop files/folders from; you had to select files separately, it didn't allow multiple folder selection too. UltraISO has this, which makes it THAT much quicker to use. The support for more file types in UltraISO is useful, although I only use it to create ISOs. Haven't tried opening any other format, so I don't know its compatibility with the other formats. If only UltraISO allowed extraction of boot files from CDs (like what ISObuster does), UltraISO would be the best CD-image editor IMO.

cheers!

Good points... What I meant by opening other formats was that I made a ISO of a DVD with Alcohol 120% and it only would do it in the mds/mdf format so WinISO doesn't open it but UltraISO does.
