   For content which does not exist as an Internet ISO9660 file,   
   you can convert physical media to ISO format, for distribution   
   to others.   
      
   As for "why don't you use USB flash like the cool kids", I   
   can give you an example. My most-healthy USB stick blew a tire   
   on the Internet and ended up in the ditch. So I couldn't even   
   finish a transfer I was doing with it today. I consider it a poor   
   investment, when I pay many times the blank media price for   
   flash, and the damn things keep croaking. And this is only   
   happening because the controllers on those things are   
   such shite. SSDs don't fail like that! Different controller.
