What does intervideo virtual drive do?

Question

i am getting a lenovo x61 tablet and it doesn't have an optical drive, so it has a thing called intervideo virtual drive, what does that do?

Answer 1

Intervideo virtual drive is described on the web as follows ...

"VirtualDrive 9 emulates a computer’s physical CD/DVD-ROM drive, allowing users to run disc-based applications without having to insert the application disc in a CD/DVD-ROM drive. A virtual CD plays directly on the hard drive and has response times up to 200 times faster than a physical CD. Users can create multiple virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives and virtual CDs (VCDs), and easily catalog their VCD libraries."

It isn't exactly clear about how you get the videos on the HD, but sounds like an external optical drive will be required.

Hope this helps.
