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.
We've already seen tens, maybe hundreds, of similar applications, so expectations are high, and this is probably the main reason why we're feeling a bit disappointed with Circle Virtual CD.
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 app, eject the image or close the application.
And although this may sound pretty good for those who want nothing more than a virtual drive, well, it's not.
First and foremost, Circle Virtual CD does have the power to create a CD image, but only in the aforementioned HVD format. Which means that 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.
Secondly, Circle Virtual CD only works with HVD images, so you won't be able to use ISO files which are, well, pretty popular these days.
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.
Of course, Circle Virtual CD runs on low hardware resources and flirts okay with all Windows versions, so there's no problem running it on older machines too.
But all in all, you will definitely by disappointed with it. Circle Virtual CD may sound like a great way to deal with CD and DVD images, but it's not. Unless you're ready to make all your copies in the HVD format...
