Is it possible to add to a disc created with an image file?  I have several identical discs created with an iso image file.  I wanted to correct a couple of the files on the discs.  I followed the procedure for adding to a disc that wasn't finalized and it looked like it was going to work but afterward the files had not been updated.  Perhaps this is not possible?

No… You need to reload the project, make the corrections and make a new ISO file.

Think of an ISO file as something from a copy machine. You can't correct a printed copy.

Thank you James.  That sounds logical and I suspected as much.  From now on I will create multiple disks by the conventional method.

Actually an iso image can be altered - but you need something like Ultraiso to do it (it can open an iso image and let you edit it)

see here for details

Correct, and I figured there was something out there to do that.

But why buy a tool when you have all you need at your fingertips to recreate the project?

Likewise if the ISO is a video project, this tool cannot address changes in the structure etc. Could be a handy thing but in a very limited scope.

Actually James, you can haul all the stuff out to a folder with Winrar (but that won't let you save it in iso format)

Winrar can read and extract files from iso as well as almost everything else)

Ultraiso will let you delete and replace files in the iso and save it as a new iso (it does other things too but that's its main use)

Perhaps a little more information would be helpful, please.

If you burned the discs with an .iso file, then the files on the DVD are either going to be data, music or video files.

If these are data or music files that are on the disk and were originally created with Creator Classic, you should be able to put the disc in the drive, and IMPORT the files on the disc to a Creator Classic project.

Then you can ADD the altered file to the disc.   The original file will still be there, but the newer file will be on the disk also.  ( I'm not sure if you have to rename the second file or not.)

The only way to completely replace the file would be to burn a new disc with the correct files on it.
