How do you emulate a virtual image of cd or dvd on hard drive from a .iso file. Is there a program for mac?

Disk images are mountable.

It does not work. It was copied as a disk image but does not mount. I need to simulate it like was on a cd or dvd. I copied on a dvd but still does not mount.

DMGs and ISOs (which are actually the same file format; the only difference is how the "virtual disk" is formatted) should both be mountable in OSX. What program did you use to create the image that's giving you trouble?

If you right click the file and open with Disk image mounter, it might work - if it's not in the list, look for it in /System/Coreservices/. Or try disk utility. Toast should also be able to mount an ISO. If it says no mountable filesystems then you can't read the format. Unless ISO always means ISO9660 in which case it should mount but ISO probably just indicates it's an image file.
