Virtual DVDs are often mounted as Disk Image s via Disk Image Emulator software. This allows to read the content of a CD or DVD from the disk image on a hard drive, rather than a disc drive.

VIRTUAL BURNER


A virtual CD burner is a device driver that emulates a CD/DVD Burner. It appears as another drive in the system with writing capabilities. When information is written to the drive, it creates an ISO Image representation of the CD that would, under normal circumstances, be physically created.

This allows you to use any CD burning software to create what can be later mounted as a virtual drive.
