- Description
- A disc image file format that contains exact duplicate data from an original CD/DVD and is based on the ISO-9660 Standard. It stores images, directory structures, file attributes, boot code, and any other filesystem information.
- A RAR file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed with RAR compression. It uses a higher compression ratio than typical ZIP compression and incorporates a proprietary compression algorithm that is now used by other compressors, including 7-Zip for its .7Z files. RAR files may be extracted using a variety of programs.
