Something new here by YAG group. With help of VirtualCD you can create backup images of your physical CD/DVDs and emulate em in virtual drive. Something similar as Daemon Tools Pro and Alcohol 120%, but seems to me more powerful in features.
Description:
With Virtual CD you can create compressed 1:1 copies (virtual CDs/DVDs) to your hard drive. You can then store your originals safely in a cabinet! Your virtual CDs are then available with a simple click or even automatically with the autostart of the corresponding program.
With Virtual CD you receive up to 23 virtual drives that behave just like the “real” physical CD/DVD drives - except that they are up to 200x faster! The only noise you hear is music or the applictions sounds, and all you need to do is play, work and enjoy.
