Virtual DVD Burner

For example, Adobe Acrobat has a virtual printer that shows up as an actual printer. Whenever you use it, it creates a .pdf of what you printed. Does Nero or any other software have the capability of a virtual DVD burner that would allow all burner programs on a computer burn to an iso or similar format on your hard drive?

Thanks,

What exactly is the scope of that virtual burner that you are seeking? What task are you trying to acomplish? There might be something that will work for you. A virtual "Burner"? Would a virtual player interest you?

 

I have a virtual player. Instead of creating a backup DVD of my movies, I prefer to keep an image on a hard drive so I don't have to buy a lot of DVDs. If I get an image of a dual-layer disc, i can't burn it. I was looking for a way to create an image using DVDxCOPY so it would compress it to a single-layer size. Another solution would be a way to tell XCopy to read from a virtual drive and burn to a real one, but it will not let you use 2 different drives. I haven't seen anything like this, but I was just curioius.

Thanks

 

DVD Decrypter(free) will burn your D/L image. And so will Nero.

DVD Shrink will do that, and I think Nero Recode also. Will compress your DVD-9 video files to fit onto a DVD-5 and you can save the output file as an ISO, which then you can load it on your virtual drive if you wish, or burn it onto a DVD.
Is that what you want, or is just me confused at 2:AM?

 

Thanks, that's exactly what I was trying to do. I'll try to go through the steps tomorrow. if i have any problems, i'll post back.

Thanks again,
Jaron
