| I recently downloaded Ubuntu which was in .ISO format, and when I went to power iso to extract it, a window popped up saying "your avs is out of date" and it links me to the avs video and audio tools website. Why is that and what should I update?

| I don't know about the avs part, maybe an applet in the .iso file was calling it.
I never need to extract the .iso file for the Linux downloads, just save it to the HDD and use it as the Source for my CD/DVD burning program, let it extract as needed while burning the disk.

| What? I thought this program could be run without having to burn it to a disc. I don't have any discs I can burn it to (and I don't have a dvd burner) I thought you could just install it like anything else.

| All the .iso files I've downloaded or created are images of the actual CD or DVD and used by a burning program to create a copy of the original disk when that original disk is not available, they can't be ran directly. But using a program to extract the files may show there is a Setup.exe file for Windows or similar for Linux that will install on the HDD but I haven't had the need to experiment with that.
A DVD burner will not be needed if the .iso file is at about 650MB but most Linus Distros are usable on CDs.
My copies of WinVista are over 2.5GB so came on a DVD.
