How to Create an ISO File for the Xbox 360 and Apple Mac

Burning ISO files to CDs and DVDs allows you to access content on either a player or console.

ISO files allow users to burn computer games to discs to run them using automatic loading and installation. These files can be downloaded and burned to CDs for easy use and transfer between computers and consoles, such as the Xbox 360.

Things You'll Need

• CD or DVD

Instructions

1. Download or locate the ISO file of your choice on your computer's hard drive.

2. Download and install a program for burning and mounting discs. Popular, free ISO burning programs include Magic ISO and Active ISO Burner. To avoid errors or interruptions, do not attempt to complete additional tasks during the installation process.

3. Open the ISO program. Insert a blank CD or DVD in the computer's disc drive. Choose "File > Open" or "New" to open a new ISO burning project. Select the ISO file you want to burn. Be sure there is adequate space on the disc to burn the file. Set burning preferences and speed according to your needs.

4. Choose "OK" or "Burn" to begin burning the selected ISO files to disc. When burning is complete, you can run the disc on your Xbox 360, Mac and other compatible devices.
