Berikut penjelasan tentang program ini dalam versi bahasa inggris sesuai deskripsi dari official site-nya:
DAEMON Tools Lite is a lightweight and powerful application for CD/DVD emulation. It allows to run software from backup copies as if the original disc was inserted.
In order to run backup copies you need to create appropriate image files of your original cd/dvd discs with software which has such functionality (e.g. DAEMON Tools Pro ).
DAEMON Tools Lite is a virtual CD/DVD-ROM emulator based on a SCSI miniport driver. It emulates up to 4 DVD-ROM drives and works with CD/DVD images created by many burning and image-creating programs. It is great on notebooks without a physical CD/DVD-ROM drive or to save accumulator power and speed up CD/DVD access. In opposite to other CD/DVD-ROM emulators DAEMON Tools Lite doesn’t use a proprietary container format. The advantage is that you can burn images you’re using with DAEMON Tools Lite using Astroburn software or just test an image before burning it to see if it was created correctly. DAEMON Tools Lite works with most popular image formats. Media Descriptor format (MDF/MDS Files) is the native DAEMON Tools image format, also DAEMON Tools Lite supports RMPS Media.
DAEMON Tools Lite supports the following image types:
* b5t (BlindWrite images)
* b6t (BlindWrite images)
* bwt (BlindRead images)
* ccd (CloneCD images)
* cdi (DiscJuggler images)
* cue (Cue sheets)
* iso (Standard ISO images)
* mds (Media Descriptor Files)
* nrg (Nero images)
* pdi (Instant CD/DVD images)
* isz (Compressed ISO images)
Nah intinya, Daemon tool lite berfungsi untuk membaca file DVD/CD image yang berekstensi seperti disebutkan di atas.
setelah kita menginstall daemon tool lite, akan muncul drive CD/DVD baru pada komputer kita yang disebut dengan virtual drive. Daemon dapat secara efektif membuat Virtual drive sebanyak 4 buah. Jadi fiule yang kita emulasi menggunakan daemon akan muncul di virtual drive kita seperti ketika kita memasukkan CD/DVD pada CD/DVD drive.
