What is a(n) NCD file?

NCD (NTI CD-Maker Disk Image) files are image files that represent the contents of CD-ROMs. They are created by NTI CD-Maker software and comprise audio, video, images, and other data recorded on a physical disc. NCD files are used to archive original discs to safeguard their content, maintain data integrity, and protect them from being corrupted or destroyed. The files have a .ncd extension.

NCD files can be opened and managed using NTI CD-Maker software. These files can be also converted to standard ISO files for the purpose of using them on other operating systems or applications that support this format. Additionally, the data stored inside an NCD file can be accessed through most of the standard file archiving tools such as WinRAR and 7Zip.
