Description (from developers):

VirtualDrive® Pro has a unique burning capability that allows you to copy your CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs, games, and other programs to physical and virtual discs. VirtualDrive® Pro allows you to convert original discs into a virtual CD (VCD), which plays in any one of up to 23 VCD drives. VirtualDrive® Pro provides a quick and responsive playback without leaving any wear or tear on your disc drive.

In short Farstone VirtualDrive® Pro is a great program to help you get rid of the disks you carry around. Whether its games, music CDs, or movies, VirtualDrive® Pro allow those disk to virtually be there. You can also do the opposite, burn virtual disks to physical disks too. The program reads/analyzes the disk once and you have it forever. The program itslf is also easy to use and access all your virtual media. Heres a look of what the main screen looks like on first start up:

As you can see, the interface is very easy to understand. You first insert your disk and then you click "create". You have three options to choose from:

You can create a VCD from the physical CD, file or project. I will be demonstrating from the CD. After selecting the first option you will see a confirmation screen and then the program will start building the CD:

After the VCD has been build, it adds the disk into its library where you can see a display of all your virtual disks saved onto the computer. Later as your collection grows, there will be an easy scroll to all your different VCDs.

VirtualDrive® 14 Pro is a great program to save time and trouble by carrying disks around and everywhere. It allaws you to save CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs, games, and other programs to physical and virtual discs. It has great funtionality and usefullness.
