alcohol 120% or virtual cd

which is better alcohol 120% 1.4.5 or virtual cd 6

[QwertyManiac]

Well Alcohol copies even the security mostly and supports MDS and other things more than VCD.
I like Alcohol, but Vcd is good enough and sometimes better if u r not a gamer.

virtual cd 6

Hey man
Virtual cd 7 is out !!!!
www.virtualcd-online.com

also according to your question

i prefer virtual cd coz it compresses the cd image to save space and its 200x fast

[QwertyManiac]

Well even Alcohol 120% offers the same 200x speed.

Alternatively u cud use Virtual Cd and a combo of Daemon TOOLS (the best in emulation).

See this for some arguments :

[anubhav_har]

Alcohol 120% and Daemons tools combined are the best... VCD is good but not as good as em..

[vignesh]

Alcohol 120% is good mate

[rajas700]

Alcohol 120% is good one.It has fast skip error facility.so it even copy the disc faster with error.(As like source cd)were as vritual cd causes delay and some time fails.

It a demo version.After u install it u have to give the registration code

then only it works.It is not a free version. u have to get it. It cost

around 30$ i think.And no were u find full version.

[zerohourkill]

alcohol 120% is the best!!! it bypasses most of the security, and makes iso and mds images much faster, then other programs...oh yea and free version works same way, its just that u have to wait 8 seconds more to load it...

[girish_b]

I prefer alcohol. It can even make copies of copy protected cd.

[vignesh]

It was given with august 2003 mindware.It was a trial version

[goobimama]

I think Nero's ImageDrive is the best. works like an angel on wheels....

[QwertyManiac]

Yes but nero supports only a few formats, iso, nrg etc...
it doesnt support compression like mini images and all.

VCD has also fast skip error facility
and for your ifo VCD only fails when the cd is unreadable by the physical drive

How about Nero's image drive????

well thats a simple emulator and not as much advanced as VCD and Alcohol

Both VCD and Alcohol are trial
but daemon tools are free

VCD also does this and VCD 7 works best

its very basic and ite emulation is not so fast

and some features i like of VCD

In case you are already familiar with an earlier version of Virtual CD, the following list will fill you in on the new features available in version 7:

· With the Virtual CD sidebar, you can see at a glance which virtual CDs are currently in which virtual CD drives, without having to open the Windows Explorer or any other program. The VCD sidebar also gives you direct access to the main Virtual CD programs.

· The Catalog Search function has been revised and improved, and lets you access the data structure of virtual and physical CDs without inserting them.

· You can create ISO images using the Image Wizard.

· Improved data-reading capabilities make it even easier to make CDs with special formats.

· Revised analysis functions for optimized automatic creation of virtual CDs in Easy Copy Mode.

· Optimized data readout processes: with many types of CD drive, the process for creating virtual CDs is much faster than before.

· Complete support for all types of ISO-compatible images, for trouble-free exchange and use of images from any source (e.g., from the Internet).

· Define and save "Views" in CD Management to sort virtual CDs in the display according to your criteria.

· The new Virtual CD "Burner" program makes it faster and easier than ever to create exact, 1:1 copies of virtual and physical CDs. In combination Smart Virtual CD, you can now back up data that is stored on almost any medium.

· The Eraser Wizard makes it possible to delete all data, or just the table of contents, from re-writable (RW) media before you write new data on it.

· The CD Search program has been expanded so you can use it in direct combination with the main VCD functions (Copy, Create script, Burn, etc.) without having to add the images to CD Management beforehand.

· Customizable labels and icons for virtual CD drives.

· Added controls for customizing the integration of Virtual CD commands into your Windows Explorer.

· Quick Copy Editor for viewing and modifying the data stored in Quick Copy files, for even more efficient use of the Quick Copy features.

· Image Converter for converting ISO images into virtual CDs – and vice versa!

· Cataloging functions for audio CD.

· The labels and functions of Smart Virtual CDs can now be defined in the Smart Virtual CD Burner program.

and the most thing i like is that it compresses the cd image to save disk space

Phew..very long post

[Dipen01]

My fav is Virtual CD. its the best though i have used Alcohol but i like Virtual CD . (Never tried Daemon Tools)

[expertno.1]

Daemon tools is only emulation software

it cannot create images

it can only emulate the images of the disk

so if we have virtual cd which does both (creation adn emulation of images) then why to go for daemon tools?

thanks

i think alcohol 120 is better ive tried VCD with a few scratched cds of mine and it didnt work but alcohol worked

[koolbluez]

Trust Alcohol 1.9.5.3105 to be the best... PERIOD

[Dipen01]

Well i dont understand one thing... before a year or what i was using Virtual CD 4.3 ..

at that time i just got a Video DVD from my friend . Then i didnt know how to rip it so i just made its image thru Virtual CD and for complete DVD it barely took 3 - 4 min.. and normally for a CD it takes 5-6 min.

I didnt understood how come it imaged DVD faster than CD.. and yea when i tried this with later versions of Virtual CD. it takes long time to image DVD.. Didnt get this...

Is it that some settings are to be changed or adjusted...?? or its anything different

[expertno.1]

Hi Dipen ,

It is because the DVD which u had imaged was not full i.e it might be half or less containing only 2 gb or less data

thats why it had ripped it faster

But today when u do this with the dvd (probably which is full)
it takes time

so in my sense it is normal and u dont need to worry about

second thing is also that it migth be possible that your dvd reader had become old now and as it becomes old its reading speed declines

thats why you are getting the changes

BTW u can get virtual cd 7.1 which is the latest from here

Thanks
