Working with Image Files

The Sonic recording programs can convert all the files from a CD or DVD and
convert them into a single .iso file, or a series of .gi files (none exceeding 2 GB)
known as an image file. 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.
NOTE: Your DVD Writer or CD Writer drive will not copy commercially available
DVD movies. Most commercial DVDs are encoded to prevent unauthorized
duplication.
