DAEMON Tools Pro for Windows

DAEMON Tools Pro is a popular tool for optical disk emulation and drives virtualization with additional image mounting capabilities. In this program, you can set up to 32 simultaneous virtual drives in a few clicks and just as quickly mount images.

Additionally, you can mount .vhd and .vmdk hard disk images, as well as TrueCrypt and ZIP archive images. As for creating/converting disc images, any of the above formats or CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs can be converted to .mdf/*.mds, *.mdx, *.iso.

In addition to creating and mounting images, this tool is equipped with the function of burning images to an optical disc. Before burning an image you can modify it using the built-in proprietary Image Editor tool.

In general, DAEMON Tools Pro is really handy and clear in the management, there is a wizard for creating bootable disks and images, the catalog of images is well implemented, and more advanced users have the ability to fine-tune the program functionality. All that makes this program one of the best applications for working with disc images and optical drive emulation.
