Virtual disk images of various formats can not only be mounted on drive emulators, but also edited. This means that you have the ability to change the disk image on your own, delete files from it and add your own files. In this way, you can create your own disk image. For example, suppose you have a movie disc image. You can easily remove unwanted films from this image and replace with your own, and, if necessary, burn to a regular disc and watch on a DVD player.
