    Not similar enough. WinCDEmu is a virtual drive emulator. PowerISO is an archiver and ISO editor.

    At least it can edit ISO images, although it is not very good at it. DAEMON Tools isn't entirely free. ISO editing is a premium feature.

    This is a CD image mounting/converting application. No way to edit ISOs - only remastering (extract-modify-recreate) which destroys metadata. Fortunately it is more difficult to wreck original disc image if you must have TRIPLE space of it to make a slightly modified duplicate.

    This is outright dangerous. Any modification of existing iso will make the program "re-burn" it. Say goodbye to metadata. They all will be overwritten by CD burning application.
