Workaround for program requiring CD Burner

Question

I have a program that allows me to download data if I burn it to a CD. Unfortunately I don't own any CD burners anymore, and can't use this feature.

Does anyone know how to:

• Imitate a CD Burner but instead write to disk.
• do any thing else that will help.

SuperUser SE had a similar post. The trick was figuring out the search terms.

The link suggests two programs, TotalMounter (free) and VirtualCD (no price without filling form), both of which specifically address the capacity to burn as if it was a physical drive.
