Description

DVD/CD master disc image files created on Macintosh computers may be saved with a ".cdr" file extension. They typically use the same file format as standard .ISO files, which are supported by many PC disk authoring programs.

Important: If you are unable to open a CDR file on a PC, you can try changing the file extension to ".iso". This may allow a Windows disc authoring application to recognize and open the file.
