Xilisoft ISO Maker allows you to rip the content of your CD/DVD to an ISO file by selecting the target disc, specifying the filename, and providing the saving directory.

What’s more, you can eject the disk directly from the program’s interface and open the directory where the ISO file is stored via the tool’s interface. Post-processing actions can be used for shutting down the computer, entering hibernation, activating the standby mode, or closing the utility at the end of a ripping task.

A log is kept with details about the ripping process along with possible errors. The log can be exported to plain text file format. You are also offered details about the remaining time, percentage of the completed job, and size.
