which utility to make an ISO image directly from a CD?

I'm looking for a one-click solution. I want to back up important
CD-Rs to tape.I usually do all my CD-related work with Nero 6, but I
can't seem to find a way to get Nero to simply make an ISO (or even
an nrg) of a CD.

The workaround is to "import" all the files from the CD, but that
could be error-prone (hidden files? long path names?) and also
doesn't seem to be able to make the image bootable.

Aside from Roxio, which utilities, free or not, can do this task?

change your cd burner setting to image recorder.

Roxio makes non-standard .iso:

================================================== =========
Mike Richter (Slimy Scum) spewed (1/3/04):

Most image formats are proprietary. In order to read and write the one
for your mastering program, you would have little flexibility.

You must be talking about Easy CD Cremator:

Subject: Extracting files from an EZCD 5 .ISO image??
Date: 4/7/01

I need to extract some files from an EZCD 5 .ISO image.. But
applications such as WinImage, IsoBuster, CdMage and so on, don't
seem to like the new format .ISO used by EZCD 5 (nice one, Roxio..)

========================
From: "eel"
Subject: So, what do you all think of Roxio EMC7?
Date: 2/29/04

So far I have found numerous bugs with some quite serious.

3) ...if you make an ISO file it is unreadable.
========================

There are
ISO 9660 for data and BIN/CUE for most formats, but neither is generally
written outside the program which will master them.

Again, you must be talking about Easy Coaster Creator:

=====================
From: Mike Richter (Roxio Shill)
Subject: Stupid question - What program do I use to write
Date: 8/22/01 an ISO image to a CD?

ECDC reads and writes ISO

- though there is a problem with 5.x (I do not know the details).

[But Mike Richter calls himself a beta tester!]
