Virtual CD-RW is an easy to use virtual CD drive for Mac OS X. Because Virtual CD-RW is a kernel extension (driver), it looks exactly like a physical drive to all applications running on the Mac OS. Because it uses a virtual CD that is stored in a file on your hard disk it is much faster than a physical CD.

This is completely different from a disk image (.dmg) file created by the Mac OS X Disk Utility because disk image files do not appear to be inserted in a real optical drive so many software programs that require the CD to be found in a real optical drive simply do not work with .dmg files but do work perfectly with a virtual drive like the one created by Virtual CD-RW.

Features:

• Virtual CD-RW installs a CD icon on the Mac OS X menu bar and you use the CD icon in the menu bar to interact with the Virtual CD-RW.
• Burn to a virtual CD to bin/cue format
• Insert and read from a virtual CD in bin/cue, iso, or cdr format
• Erase a virtual CD

Most operations can be completed in these easy steps:

• From the CD menu choose either New Media or Existing media
• The new or existing virtual CD will appear on your desktop
• Read from the virtual CD just like a standard CD
• Burn to the virtual CD just like a standard CD from any application including the Finder or iTunes.

Requirements:
OS X 10.6-10.8
Intel
