Very easy to use interface. When creating .ISO images, insert CD to copy, launch LiquidCD and click the 'Others' button. Click the small icon in lower left corner and choose 'Save as Disk Image', then give your disk image a suitable name and choose 'Format: ISO Disc Image' and click 'Save' (Screenshots 4 to 6, above).

LiquidCD has support / partial support for the following disc image formats: anything natively supported by MacOS (iso, dmg, ..), cue/bin, ccd/img, toc, nrg, cdi, mdf/mds, b6t/b6i, daa, gbi. Experimental support for .c2d and .cif.
