What is a .VCD File

VCD files are disc image files of CD/DVDs and contain an exact copy of all the data on the physical disc. Along with the files and data on the disc these image files also contain the information such as the file system information and the boot record data of the disc.

These files can be created with the help of the Virtual CD software. These files are recognized by the Windows Operating System as actual discs. And can also read the data in spite of the fact that these are files that reside on the hard disk.

Also, allow for the usage of the CD/DVD drives on the computer without the need of the physical discs easily.

These files can be mounted over a virtual drive which is created by the Virtual CD software. And can be then browsed and run just like any other physical drive.

VCD files are also used by the FarStone software application as copies of CDs or unprotected DVDs that have been saved over the file system or the hard disc as compressed image files or as virtual discs as explained above.
These files can be executed instead of the original disc files whose copy they are and be mounted over any of the virtual drives on the system.
They are also dumped data that the logic simulation software application generates. And is generally in a standard ASCII text format.
These files contain special header data, value changes for specific variables as well as variable definitions.
The value changes are in the form of scalar of vector depending on the type of the variable.
Since these files are standard text files you can open or edit them using any standard text editor.
