A .CSO file is the first type of compression method that was used for compressing the ISO images. It is also known as the Compressed ISO image file, which provides a high level of compression technique to save the memory space.
Files with the .ISO extension contain optical disc images in an uncompressed form. A singular image with all files and disc’s structure of catalogues is stored in a single file, sector by sector – it contains file system of the optical drive.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CSO file after converting to ISO may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CSO to ISO to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CSO to ISO does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CSO format, properly converted to a ISO file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file CSO the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of CSO file to other than ISO. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CSO file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to ISO on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CSO file in its original format (without conversion to ISO file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
