Creating Discs 

19

Recommend for: This method is especially useful if you are

having compatibility problems with the formatting created by

the DVD/Blu-ray authoring software or with the media type of

the master disc. This method removes some potentially compli-

cating variables from the DVD/Blu-ray Video creation process.

This method eliminates the need for a master disc. Error or

incompatibilities can be introduced into your master by the

drive burning the master, the disc the master is burned on or

the software burning the master. Instead masters can be stored

on a large hard drive. This allows you to burn additional

copies at any time with out locating the master. If a backup

strategy is employed, hard drive storage is more reliable over

the long term since it is not susceptible to scratching like a

master disc.

Image Project

The Image Project allows you to copy any CD, DVD, or BDR

master. You can use an existing image or create an image and

then use it in the project.  The master disc is read from the

specified drive to the hard drive of your computer. The master

is stored in the 

Global Image

 format (*.gi) in a user specified

location on your computer. PTPublisher uses this file to make

all subsequent copies that are requested. The master disc is

read only once to create the initial file.
Recommended for: All CD, DVD or Blu-ray content or disc

types (Audio CD, Data CD, Software Install Disc, Video CD,

DVD Video, Blu-ray Video: CDR, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-ROM,

DVD+DL, DVD-DL, BDR, BDR-DL, etc.). This is best used for

jobs that are repeated on a regular basis where you will need 

to make additional copies of the master disc at a later time.

This project type stores the master on your hard drive. This

saves the time it takes to read in the master and reduces the

possibility of defects being introduced into the master disc.

B.2 Steps to any Project.

Step 1: Add Data

Depending on your job type this step will be different.  You

may choose your master, choose data on your hard drive,

choose tracks to your audio CD, choose your disc image or

DVD or BDR video folders.
