Using virtual dvd drives can be a very effective way of storing multiple DVDs on computer hard drives which provides several advantages to the user. For one it is possible to access multiple DVDs without having to switch DVDs all the time which also provides useful when traveling with the computer. Instead of taking the physical DVDs on the trip they can easily be accessed from the hard drive.
Virtual CloneDrive is a free application from the makers of AnyDvd and CloneDvd. It supports a maximum of eight virtual dvd drives that can be used to mount various image formats such as iso, bin and img. The main design concept of the software was simplicity. The user can select to assign the formats with the application which might interfere with dvd burning software installed.
The only other way to mount images is to right-click one of the virtual dvd drives and pick one of the supported image formats from the hard drive.
It acts as a normal dvd drive afterwards with the added bonus that the speed is usually much higher and less error prone.
