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 disc. 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 used for CD) or (UDF used for DVD)is an exact
replica of the final disc 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 (CD) or 4.7MB (single layer DVD) of hard disk space. Note: If
you are equipped with a Blu-Ray system, the resulting image file
extension will be a *.UDF
