If you are still looking for an advanced application to create a virtual CD/DVD drive, Circle Virtual CD claims it has the power to help you in this regard.
Clean and simple looks
The program comes with a minimal interface that does nothing more than to list in a simple manner the main features.You can either create a CD image in the HVD format, insert a CD image into the virtual drive, configure the application, eject the image or close the program.
Create CD images
Circle Virtual CD does have the power to create a CD image in one of the formats that you may be familiar with, but only with the aforementioned HVD extension. This means you may encounter some difficulties when trying to open the file with another virtual drive application in case it doesn't come with support for this particular extension.Offers support only for HVD images and poor configurationsAlso related to this tool's file support, you should note that Circle Virtual CD only works with HVD images, so you won't be able to use ISO files which are pretty popular to say the least.The settings menu is extremely limited and there are only two available options: choose the virtual drive letter and decide whether to start the app with Windows or not.
Performance and final thought
On a good note, Circle Virtual CD runs on low hardware resources and flirts okay with the system, so there should be no problem in deploying it on older machines as well.All in all, the software application may appear like a great way to deal with CD and DVD images, but it's better to try it first to see if Circle Virtual CD can be of any real use.
