I think it's a great thing that UltraISO can extract files from HFS+ portions of a hybrid ISO, but it's unbelieveable that you cannot build such images with UltraISO.

There are quite a few things that are released on hybird ISO/HFS+ CD's/DVD's and yet there's no really good software for building such images.  Let's face it, MacImage is seriously bugged and if you try doing anything clever with it, will almost certainly corrupt any image you build.

Now UltraISO is a brilliant program for what it does best which is build images etc. and I think that the lack of ability to build hybrid ISO's is a major ommission.

I see lots of features being added to build MP3/Audio images and other exotic formats, but let's face it, you're moving UltraISO into the realms of what Nero and other CD/DVD programs do expertly as it is.  I think some focus has been lost on what UltraISO REALLY excels at which is image building and converting.

Just hope you don't fall into the same trap as ZoneAlarm Pro did and try to become a jack-of-all-trades including Spyware/AntiVirus functionality and lose the focus of what ZAP did brilliantly.

Oh and another idea that would be worth stealing from GoldenHawk is the ability to build your own cuesheets so really exotic CD's can be built.  CD's of Mixed modes and Audio which although don't comply with the standards, are still out there.  (Yep, I came across a CD recently which had a MODE 1 track, followed by two Audio tracks and then another MODE 1 track)

Thanks.
