Saving The Current Disc Image File
Once a data disc image has been created, it must be saved before it can be
used by the Scribe 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 for CD or a .UDF for DVD).
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 or projects with
dynamic content and when the source data will always be available to the
Scribe.
A physical image file (ISO for CD, UDF 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 Scribe. 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 4.7 GB (DVD) of hard disk space.
