Making a CD from a Disc

Image

disc image

is also known as an image, CD-ROM image, or image

file. It is a single large file that is a representation of the whole set of

data and programs as it will appear on a CD. A disc image refers to

both content and logical format.

You can use disc images to:

■

Write the disc image to hard drive once, then record it multiple

times to different CDs to save processing time.

■

Add audio tracks to your CD using the Mixed-Mode or CD

Extra option.

■

Create a disc image file to be written to CD on another system.

■

Write your data to the hard drive first then record it to CD for

maximum security to avoid a buffer underrun.
