Today I needed to test a program that required a Blu-Ray disc to function. I did not have a Blu-Ray drive on the computer I was using, so I decided to use a Blu-Ray ISO file. Well, Since I had no way to rip a real Blu-Ray disc to an ISO (since I did not have a physical BD drive), then I created my own fake Blu-Ray disc image/ISO file, and used Slysoft’s Virtual CloneDrive to mount it, and voila!…the program that I was using thought it was a real BD disc, and let me proceed with my task (I was software testing basically, and knew I did not need a real BD disc just to get past that part).

So, if you need a Blu-Ray disc, but do not have the physical hardware to load one, and do not have a real ISO file on hand, then you can use this one. Feel free to download and use this for whatever you want. There is no actual video in this Blu-Ray ISO file, but it will trick any program that is requesting a Blu-Ray disc.

Comment here if you used this, and tell me what program you used it with, or what purpose you needed it for. I am curious to know :)
