Virtual CD / DVD Emulators
I use Daemon Tools, a virtual CD / DVD emulator. This utility allows me to open a file image of a CD or 
DVD without having to burn the image to a CD or DVD first. I have been relatively happy with this tool. I am using Vista X64 with no issues. The biggest downside to Daemon Tools is that they include yet another toolbar (WhenU) that is installed (you can optionally select not to install it) when you install Daemon Tools. I can appreciate their desire to recover some revenue for a free tool, however, I would personally prefer to pay a nominal fee and not have adware installed on my system.
DAEMON Tools supports the following image files:
- cue/bin
- iso
- ccd (CloneCD)
- bwt (Blindwrite)
- mds (Media Descriptor File)
- cdi (Discjuggler)
- nrg (Nero)
- pdi (Instant CD/DVD)
- b5t (BlindWrite 5)
- isz (Compressed ISO images)
SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive is another vender that offers a free virtual CD / DVD emulator. I have not personally used this product as they do not have a version for 64 bit systems. However, it does get good reviews without the plauge of adware that comes with Daemon Tools. It also supports most of the common image files.
