What is a virtual optical drive

A virtual optical drive is a tool for simulating (CD-ROM) work, can be generated and your computer installed on the same optical drive can be the same virtual CD-ROM drive, the general optical drive can do the same thing as a virtual CD-ROM can do, this principle is to first virtual out of one or more virtual optical drive, the CD application software, The mirror is stored on the hard disk and a mirrored file is generated for a virtual optical drive, which can then be used in the virtual CD drive in Windows95/98/nt, so when you start the application later, you do not have to put the disc in the CD drive, and you do not have to wait for the slow start of the light. Just click on the Insert icon, and the virtual disc is immediately loaded into the virtual CD drive, fast and convenient.

Characteristics and applications of virtual optical drive

Virtual optical drive has a lot of ordinary optical drive can not achieve the function, such as the runtime does not use CD-ROM, even if there is no light drive, but also the implementation of a number of CD-ROM software, fast processing capacity, easy to carry and so on. The virtual optical drive has the following features and uses:

(1). High speed CD-ROM

Virtual CD-ROM drive directly on the hard drive, speed up to 200X; virtual CD-ROM drive response speed is very fast, playback image files fluent without pause. The transmission speed of the general hard disk is about 10-15mb/s, conversion to the optical drive transmission speed (150k/s) equals 100X. Today, most motherboards integrate Ultra DMA hard disk controllers, which can transmit speeds up to 33m/s (220X)

(2). Notebook Best Companion

The virtual optical drive solves the problem that the notebook computer does not have the optical drive, the speed is too slow, the portability is not easy, the CD-ROM image can be copied from another computer or network.

(3). Mo Best Choice

Virtual optical drive generated by the CD-ROM (virtual CD) can be deposited in MO disk, with the MO disk will become "disc mo", MO Optical drive in one, kill each other.

(4). Copy Disc

Virtual optical drives are easy to manage when copying discs with only a corresponding virtual disc file, so it is not always possible to copy hundreds of files from a disc to a hard disk, because many CD-ROM software will require it to run on the optical drive, and removal management is a problem ; The virtual optical drive solves these problems completely.

(5). Run Multiple discs

Virtual optical drives can run multiple different disc applications at the same time. For example, we can watch the Encyclopedia Britannica on one optical drive while installing "PowerWord 2000" with another optical drive to listen to CDs on a real optical drive. Such a requirement can not be done on an optical drive in any way.

(6). Compress

Virtual optical Drive general use of professional compression and real-time decompression algorithm for some uncompressed files, compression rate of up to 50% or more; When the runtime automatically decompression, the image playback effect will not be distorted.

(7). Optical Disc Tower

Virtual optical drive can completely replace the expensive disc tower, can be directly access to unlimited CD-ROM, do not have to wait for the disk, fast, easy to use, not space and hardware maintenance trouble.

Performance after installing virtual CD-ROM

After installing the virtual optical drive system, the user can see one or more optical drive characters on the WINDOWS95/98/NT system platform, and each virtual drive is like a real optical drive, whether it is in MS-DOS mode or resource Manager, even in the control Panel, you will see this letter, They are virtual optical drives that are the same as the real optical drive.
