I occasionally receive shows from other sources as an ISO file.

What free programs can convert these back to FLAC or DVD files> I search but only seem to find free programs with limitations in file size if you don't purchase the full version. I don't need this often so I don't want to invest any $ in this if I don't have to.

I have a bunch too, apparently Foobar has a plugin to play them, but I can't get to grips with what's needed.

In simplified form, I go to the downloads page, and there's downloads named A, B and C

The instructions first step says to install item X. No clue as to where this is to be found.

I'm using linux mostly at the mo', and mounting iso images is dead easy.

However, for Windows, I think that 7-zip (https://www.7-zip.org/) can handle extracting from an iso.

AcetoneISO (https://sourceforge.net/projects/acetoneiso/) lets you mount the iso images and from there you can copy the contents to elsewhere on your hard drive.

*Edit*
Btw, VLC will happily play iso files.

Ugh, it appears that AcetoneISO may not be available for Windows. Sorry.

This (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/odsupport/2011/04/19/how-to-extract-the-contents-from-an-iso-file-without-burning-the-iso-to-disc/) Microsoft article recommends Pismo File Mount (http://www.pismotechnic.com/download/) as a free alternative for the same purpose of mounting iso files.

Just extract with winrar or 7-zip, problem solved.
