Saving The Current Disc Image File
Once a data disc image has been created, it must be saved for the
DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR PRO to use it as a data source for recording. Disc
images can either be saved as script files (with an “ISC” extension) or
physical image files (with an “ISO” extension).
A script file (ISC) contains pointers to the source data files and is used as a
guide at the time of recording the CD/DVD. Since a script file does not
include the source data it is best used when producing unique projects with
dynamic content, or when the source data will always be available to the
DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR PRO. Or, if producing software, a “static” image
would be best to ensure content.
A physical image file (ISO) is an exact replica of the final CD/DVD and
contains all of the source data. It is therefore best used when producing
static projects that are recorded on a regular basis, and when source data
will not always be available to the DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR PRO. Please
note that, depending upon the amount of data to be recorded, a physical
image file can occupy as much as 700 MB of hard disk space.
