VirtualDrive 12 CD Emulator

Are you tired of scratching your favorite PC game and application CDs? Of swapping out discs and waiting for them to load?

VirtualDrive 12 CD / DVD emulator converts CDs and unprotected DVDs into "virtual CDs" -- MP3-like files that you can play directly on your hard drive in place of physical discs. Virtual CDs (VCDs) save wear and tear on your CD-ROM drive, extend the battery life of laptop computers, and have access rates up to 200 times faster than physical CDs, accelerating the performance of PC games, photo CDs, and disc-based applications. You can share them over a network and run several VCDs simultaneously in up to 23 "virtual drives," swapping them out via hot keys for a seamless transition between volumes of a game.

Make a single custom virtual CD from a multiple disc set, or create a custom VCD with documentation or tracks from other discs. VirtualDrive's simple, user-friendly GUI lets you create unlimited VCDs and manage them in a searchable virtual CD library.
