Burn Discs from Image
What: The Burn Discs from Image project allows you to copy any CD or DVD master. This job type has two phases. First, you must create the image by reading a master disc and saving it to your hard drive in the Global Image format (*.gi). Use the Create a Disc Image to achieve this. Second, you must set up a Burn Discs from Image project by selecting the image that you saved in the global image format.
Recommended for: All CD or DVD types (Audio CD, Data CD, Software Install Disc, Video CD, DVD, DVD-ROM, etc.) This procedure is useful when you need to make several copies of the same disc and you do not want to read your master at the beginning of every job. Also, by having the Global-Image file stored on the hard disk, you may access the source disc immediately.
How to:
Step 1: Select Other Project from the Starter Window or the New Project Panel. An Other Project sub menu will be displayed. Choose Burn Discs from Image. Step one of the Burn Discs from Image wizard will be displayed.
