Waiting for more expert comment before I download,
but meanwhile, the publisher’s site
has a handy help page
for this program.
For those that don’t understand what this program does – it’s pretty cool, albeit not for everyone.
Basically in a situation where you don’t have a writable CD/DVD handy, or don’t want to burn a disc because you don’t want to spend the money, or perhaps you don’t have a Blu-Ray burner but you have a Blue-Ray image file and wish to watch a Blu-Ray disc…many instances, you can use Daemon Tools.
Say the image for burning a disc would be 14GB. Using Daemon Tools, you would “fake out” Windows into believing it has a Blu-Ray burner, but really it would create, say, a “G:” drive on your PC, that Windows would see…but truth be told the drive is only virtual, and you can burn the 14GB image onto a “virtual” Blu-Ray disc…and you could even click on this drive as if it were a disc in the drive and watch the movie.
There are obviously many other uses, but that’s kind of the basis of how this program works.
