They did this because the organization's name would be different in all the various languages. This way it is uniform, AKA equal.

In french it's International Standards Organization (with french words instead but I don't know them but they are close to the above). IEC is the same way. I agree about .iso extension.

That option produces a .cdr file. .cdr apparently has something to do with Correl Draw ? No. .cdr is the file extension ALSO used by Corel Draw but in this case it stands for 'Compact Disc Recording' and is the master file you would send, for example, to a CD pressing plant to have them press disks from your master. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone could comment on the comparison between these three file formats: .cdr .dmg. .img ? .cdr is as above, a standard CD or DVD image for production purposes. .dmg is Apple's disk image format, which has a wide range of options: read-only, read-write, sparse image, encrypted, etc etc. It's not readable on Windows systems without utilities like MacDrive. .img is interchangeable with .iso which, as the name implies, is an ISO standard optical disk image format; I believe .img is in wide usage from some Windows software. This is the most widely used image format, but it is restricted to ISO-9660 file systems.
