Virtual CD - The original for your PC

Put an end to the annoying business of looking for and inserting your CDs/DVDs.
With Virtual CD you can create compressed 1:1 copies (virtual CDs/DVDs) to your hard drive. You can then store your originals safely in a cabinet! Your virtual CDs are then available with a simple click or even automatically with the autostart of the corresponding program.

No more drive noise, no more changing CDs, no more slow CD start-up.
With Virtual CD you receive up to 23 virtual drives that behave just like the "real" physical CD/DVD drives - except that they are up to 200x faster! The only noise you hear is music or the applications sounds, and all you need to do is play, work and enjoy.

Fast, convenient, effective!
Nobody needs to handle fragile CDs any more in order to run applications. Your children don't need to, nor do your colleagues or you yourself!
Music, games, searching programs, graphic programs - all will be loaded faster and is immediately accessible. You can simultaneously use a number of different CD programs without needing to purchase a number of CD drives - this pays off quickly.
