Are you tired of scratching or losing your favorite PC games and music CDs? Is it annoying to swap discs in and out of your drive and wait for them to load? Do you hate carrying around your CDs and DVDs to use on your laptop?
If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then VirtualDrive is for you! VirtualDrive 8.0 emulates your computer's CD/DVD-ROM drive, which enables you to run CD & DVD programs directly from your hard drive without the use of the physical CD/DVD-ROM drive or the actual disc. VirtualDrive is a MUST HAVE for gamers, music lovers, travelers and laptop users.
New in 8.0! VCD files can be password protected. New in 8.0! Able to create shortcuts for VCD files. New in 8.0! Supports SecuROM*New V4.8. New in 8.0! Supports Live Updates. New in 8.0! Ability to upgrade to VirtualDrive Pro.
How does VirtualDrive work?
VirtualDrive does two basic things: (1) It can copy an entire CD/DVD into a single, compressed disk-image file that resides on your hard drive, and (2) It contains a driver that fools Windows into treating the disk-image file as if it were a physical CD/DVD running in a physical CD/DVD drive. VirtualDrive lets you create up to 23 virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives and an unlimited number of CD/DVDs. Since you have 23 CD/DVD-ROM drives on your computer instead of just one, you can run more than one CD/DVD-ROM simultaneously. So, after you have installed VirtualDrive, all you have to do is insert the CD/DVD-ROM disc that you want to copy into your CD/DVD-ROM drive and click 'Build' on the VirtualDrive interface. In minutes, the virtual image of the CD/DVD-ROM, called a 'VCD', will appear. To run it, just insert it into one of your virtual drives.
Does VirtualDrive work with DVD movies and copy-protected games?
VirtualDrive works with all four of the major copy protections used on the most popular CD/DVD-ROM games: SafeDisc, SafeDisc2, SecuROM and LaserLock. Most DVD videos are copy-protected using CSS (Content Scrambling System). DVD videos that do not contain CSS protection will work with VirtualDrive.
