[QUOTE="CaptainJim, post: 324738, member: 84159"] I have used Virtual Clone Drive for a long time, it works well, it's free. It's a simple little tool that does a nice job. I do not like the idea of installing additional software with duplicate functionality. The program differences chart at Deamon Tools lead me to believe that I needed to purchase a license, but after digging further I believe I can use the lite version for personal use for free. I read some posts complaining that DT installs spam ware. McAfee's SiteAdvisor says "In our tests, some downloads on this site tried to change our Web browser home page." refering to DT's site. I have installed and setup DT, it works for .ISO's but will not mount a .IMG from within MP. It will mount a .IMG if you do it manually. I enabled all file extensions in DT, even though .IMG was not listed it now mounts from within MP, seems slow to mount. The video starts but the screen is black (no picture), audio can be heard. ISO's start and play fine. If I manually mount an .IMG in VCD or DT (outside of MP) then MP will ask me if I want to play it, click yes and still the video is black. The same .IMG video plays fine in Cyberlink DVD and WMP, appears that MP does not like playing .IMG's? As the black screen plays if I click around on the screen and accidently find a button on the menu area then I get to see a picture (the black screen goes away). I think I will scrap this idea of playing ISO/IMG's, IF I use MP I guess I will just put all my vids in folder format. Cheers, Jim [/QUOTE]
