Working With Image Files; Creating An Image File - HP z558 Software Manual

Working with image files

The Sonic recording programs can convert all the files
from a CD or DVD and convert them into a single image
file (.iso) 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.

1
Open the Sonic DigitalMedia Plus program by
clicking Start, All Programs, Sonic, and then
