IIRC, ISO is an archive file and you can extract from it just like .ZIP.


iso is a disk image.

I remember problems trying to write ISO to CD/DVD because an archive
program had claimed the ISO extension.


that's a separate issue.


They are both because an ISO is an archive file.


Like nospam said, ISO is a disk image file, not an archive file. If you
wanted to archive some files, you wouldn't turn to an ISO as the
container. You'd probably pick zip, rar, 7z, etc. Yes, various archive
programs know how to look inside an ISO file, but that doesn't make it
an archive.
