How does a Virtual CD or Virtual DVD work?

When you have a Virtual CD or Virtual DVD drive on your computer, you can mount an ISO image of the real CD or DVD, using this drive, instead of placing a physical CDROM or DVD into this virtual drive.The Virtual CD or DVD software will allow the system to play the CD or DVD, or run programs from it. Thus Virtual CD/DVD drives are useful only if you have ISO images of the CD/DVD you want to play.
