With Nero Express and the Image Recorder you can create disc images from every compilation. The NRG image file format can always be selected whereas the ISO image file format can only be selected from certain compilation types. Nero Express only enables the possible image file formats.
The NRG image file format was developed by Nero. In contrast to ISO, NRG can be created from every disc and compilation type. This means that even Audio CDs or multisession discs can be saved as an NRG image file.
