Can you convert TAR to ISO?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert TAR to ISO?
No - not a direct conversion.

An ISO is a raw optical-disc filesystem image, not a file archive. Extract the tar and, if you truly need an ISO, build one with a disc-image tool - there is no meaningful direct tar→iso conversion.
