How to Burn DVD Images as Files to a Hard Drive So the DVD Software Can Play

If you have a DVD image on your hard drive that you want to use without burning it to a physical disc, you need to mount the disc. When you mount a disc image, it hosts the content of that disc virtually on your hard drive and presents the data as if the original disc had been inserted into your disc drive. This is useful if you have made backups of DVDs and want to use the backup without burning another copy of the disc, or alternatively don't want to insert a disc.
