Phantom CD is a virtual CD/DVD emulator. Mount your CD/DVD image files as virtual CD/DVD disc with Phantom CD.
Use disc images for your CD and DVD backup. Replace your physical discs to avoid wear and tear on your optical drive, and to avoid disc problems resulted from heat, scratch, and dirt. Enjoy reading speed up to 200 times faster than a physical disc, allowing your application and games to start and run faster.
Avoid burning new CD's every few
CD-R/RW, and DVD+-R/RW have a life span of two to five years. Optical discs commonly used for burning have a recording surface consisting of a layer of dye that can be modified by heat to store data. The degradation process can result in the data "shifting" on the surface and thus becoming unreadable to the laser beam.
To avoid burning your CD's every few years, copy the CD and DVD's to ISO or BIN/CUE disc images to your hard drive.
Hard drives have their limitations too. However, it is much easier and faster to copy dozens or even hundreds of disc image files to a new hard drive than to burn dozens of new CD's.
Easier to manage
How many CD's and DVD's do you have?
Our collection gets bigger and bigger, but we are not getting more organized. We leave the discs on the desk, exposing them for scratches. We pile them up or put them in the wrong boxes. It is never easy to find the right disc when you need it.
Save them as disc images. Organize them on your hard drive. It is easier to organize, and easier to find.
Faster
While the speed of computer processor still doubles every two years, we still have to suffer through the slow reading speed of the optical drives. They spin and buzz, and finally open the files we want. Want to open the next file? That's another round of waiting.
Virtual discs give you up to 200 times the speed of an optical drive. Openning a file on a virtual disc is no different from openning a file on the hard drive.
