Working with Image Files The Sonic recording programs can convert all the files from a CD or DVD into a single image file (.iso) file, or a series of Global-Image files (.gi) (none exceeding 2 GB). You can use the image file to reproduce the original disc. Image files are typically used when you need to make multiple copies of the same disc. An image file is not a traditional picture file. An image file can be used to reproduce an original disc. An .iso or .gi file is not like a graphic or a photograph file. Instead, the term image is like a master file from which duplicates can be reproduced. This type of image file is used to group several data files under one single file. Such image files are typically used to burn multiple CD or DVD discs with identical content. Creating an image file To make an image file using Sonic DigitalMedia Plus: 1 Open the Sonic DigitalMedia Plus program by clicking Start, All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home. 2 Click Copy, select .iso or .gi (if prompted for file type), and then click Save Image. 3 Insert the CD or DVD from which you want to make a image file. 4 Click Browse to select the location where the image file will be created. 5 Click the Save Image icon to create the image file. 6 Click Done after the image file has been created. Burning from an image file The image file remains on your hard disk drive until you delete it. Since an image file is typically large, it is recommended that you delete it if you do not intend to burn additional discs. To burn a CD or DVD from an image file using Sonic DigitalMedia Plus: 1 Open the Sonic DigitalMedia Plus program by clicking Start, All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home. 2 Click Copy and then Burn Image. 3 Click Browse to select the image file. 4 Insert a recordable CD or DVD into the drive. 5 Click the Burn Image icon. 6 Click Done when recording is complete. 74 HP Media Center PC Software Guide
