VideoStudio 11 + Virtual CD/DVD device

Hi all.
I have a number of DVD ISOs (basically my vacations videos) and now I would like to work on them with VideoStudio 11 Plus.

So I downloaded Daemon-Tools and mounted those ISOs on the virtual DVD device... But VideoStudio does not detect the virtual DVD device... When I click on Capture > Import DVD/DVD-VR only my *real* DVD device is listed within the combo, not the virtual device...

Up to VideoStudio 10 (on Windows XP) I was able to do that... Now I am using VideoStudio 11 on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit...

Is this a compatibility issue between VideoStudio 11 and Vista?

I also tried other DVD emulator softwares (like MagicDisc) but the result is the same...

Anybody else is experiencing this trouble? Is there a workaround?

Thank you guys,
/Morix

The virtual drive software I use creates a drive letter on the Hard Drive.
Simply use import DVD folder then navigate to it.

Thank you sjj1805, byt it is not so easy... The fact is that my DVD ISOs are in DVD-VR format (this format is used by my Sony videocamera), so I cannot use the "Import DVD folder" feature, because the format of folders on this DVD ISOs is not the standard one.

Furthermore: my virtual driver software creates a driver letter too... The problem is that ULead does not see that driver letter (both in "Capture > Import DVD/DVD-VR" and "Import DVD folder", as you suggested).

Any other ideas?

Thank you very much for the collaboration.

I think the problem you say you have is that VideoStudio cannot see the mounted folder and thus preventing you from importing a DVD Folder.

I just tried this with a file on a mounted folder and it works.
Copy / Paste.

So you can copy the entire Mounted folder to a real folder on your hard drive, one which VideoStudio will be able to see and then you can import from there.

Thank you sjj1805...
This evening I'll try on my PC and I'll let you know...

Ok, I've tried with success! Copying DVD ISO files on a hard disk folder, it works!

Even if this is a valid workaround (thanks again for that!) I would like to understand why ULEAD does not see my virtual device... Any idea?

Many thanks.
