Is there such thing as a blank CD image file, I want to 'mount' it on to a virtual drive and record with Nero (or any other app) onto the image.
How can I do this?
 
what exactly were u trying to do? why wouldnt u just create an image file with Nero than then mount it? i don't think you can record to image files that are already mounted.
 
What you have to do is, get a program which let's you create image files. Can't remember any program right now.. maybe Alcohol 120% has the feature, not sure. Then just add the files and finish up the image and mount. You have to choose if you want it to be a .iso file, a .bin and .cue etc. And for mounting Daemon-Tools or Alcohol 120%.

I know exactly what you mean, but after a long time searching i dont think that exists....the reason i was looking for that was so that i could write to the image with ANYYY program, not just the program that the image drive came with...but anyways, use Nero. Instead of selecting a cd burner before burning, select image burner and that burns images for you.
 
alcohol 120 allows you to make an image easily...no "blank disc images" that i know of...


unless...which i just thought of....put a blank dvd or cd into your drive, load up alcohol and make the image you could possibly get a blank image then...maybe? ..I've never tried that
 
What I want to do is record files with Alcohol, Nero, (anything) on to a image file of a blank disk in a virtual drive, the PC will think it's a blank CD while it's image which saves all recorded files in a different folder (if you see what I mean).
Anyway I doubt there is such thing...

you can do it just not like that in that order of operations unless windows allows pipes like in linux.............the big question is WHY????????? What purpose is this going to serve? So many other ways to do this that are less complicated and end up the same place
 
Well, when you buy download music from iTunes the music is AAC encoded and protected against chainging it's format, unless you burn it onto a CD and then change the format of the songs from the CD, I want to do this without wasting blank CDs to put my songs on my MP3 player that only supports MP3 and WMA.
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, well why didnt you say so, thats easy enough to get around.....do a little google searching for it, I know dvd-john made an app quite awhile ago to circumvent i-tunes copy protection

Cheap and dirty way, use something like mplayer to convert them to wav's and/or pipe em into lame to make em mp3's, I think most windows versions of mplayer/mencoder have lame compiled in, should be able to convert right into mp3's.
 
you might be able to get a plugin for daemon tools that allows you to have a virtual cd/dvd writer instead of a standard drive, this would allow you to get around this problem if it exists.

DVD-John is the name of the app?
 
no, dvd-john is the guys nickname

jon lech johannsen, aka dvd john, one of the guys taht wrote dvdcss which breaks the dvd copy protection, same guy that has been breaking itunes protection for years
 
no he's talking about circumventing AAC protection by mounting a virtual CD the ripping its contents bypassing the step of actually burning a CD

winamp has plugins available that can record whatever audio is passing thru it, or you can simply use a program that can play and dump AAC into wave or mp3 format........itunes and windows media player ARE NOT gonna let you do this---->it would defeat the purpose of DRM wouldnt it?
 
play the files in winamp using the built in disk writer feature and set your hard drive as the target directory, once you play through the files you will have a lovely set of wav files with no protection
