There is no free image making program that can extract DPM from a disc (this is important for many protections).

Nero is able to make iso... but is not free.
UltraIso is a tool I do like when I have to manipulate iso... by the way, it's not free (29.95 US$ if i remember well)
There are maybe free iso making tools under windows... but I dunno them.
By the way, if you're not sticked to windows, there are good tools under linux, like k3b.

[LocutusofBorg]

I really like blindwrite from VSO software. I have used it for years and is VERY easy to use. Insert the CD/DVD click READ change the type to iso and type in the destination. That's about it. Daemontools will also read the B5T and with the later versions B6T files that blindwrite creates also.
