discs.
1.4.8.3 Media
The Media selector will include all the media types available
in the System at this time. If you are using a System image,
or an image that was originally created from a master disc
using the System reader, the media type is already
embedded within the image file, and the media type will be
selected automatically for you. However, if you are creating a new data disc, or selecting
an ISO image file as part of a job, you must select the media type required before starting
the job. Note that the media type can also be changed
while creating a data disc (see Create Data Disc). Once a
job has been started, the media type can no longer be
changed.
1.4.8.4 Disc Image
The Disc Image selector provides a convenient way to
select one of several possible sources for the disc image
data.
1.4.8.4.1 Local Image
If you want to make copies from an ISO file created by another mastering application
(e.g. Data or Video authoring package), or you have a disc image originally created in the
System reader and then transferred to your local hard disk, you should select Local
Image. A File Open dialog box will allow you to select the file by browsing your computer
for the file. If you have designated a ‘shortcut’ directory to your image files (See User
Settings: Shortcuts) the File Open dialog box will automatically open in that directory. If
you have not set the shortcut yet, the File Open dialog box will typically open up in your
user home directory.
If you select an ISO image file, TrueNet then asks you what type of media this ISO file is
being targeted for, e.g. CD or DVD, or if you have purchased the Blu-ray option, then BD
will also be available. It is important that you select the correct media type, or you may
end up with unusable discs.
If you select an TEAC Image File (.rqi) then the media type will automatically be selected
using the embedded image file information. This media selection cannot be changed.
1.4.8.4.2 System Image
The System can store many master disc images on its internal hard disk system. The
storage capacity will depend on the model and options purchased. Images stored on the
System are available for any user to select as part of their jobs. Storing an image on the
System has the advantage that no time is required transferring the disc image to the
System prior to starting a new job, and users who regularly run repeated jobs of the same
disc images can take advantage of this to speed up starting repeated jobs.
Selecting System Image will launch the System Images dialog box and allow you to select
