<!-- The original version had the title 'Command Reference'

with one sect1 sub-chapter called 'The main window'.
|

However, the only features described were the menu entries,

so a rename of this chapter does make sense. -->

It just helps to know what's on the disc already.

a direct copy of a floppy or hard disk (for example, created

In any case it's a single file containing a complete, bootable

system that is burned as a normal file. In order to let the

computer know that the disc contains a boot image, the burning

application creates a boot catalog file whose name can be

determined in the dialog window.

Alternatively, you can choose only to create an image

also an option to clone the CD instead of normal

copying, which should be preferred when copying CDs

with defective sectors or Video CDs.

Without the need of a project file, it provides
|
||
|
|
the ability to copy a DVD's content to another disc.
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can choose only to create an image
|
||
|
|
of the source DVD which can be burned anytime.
|
||
|
|
Video transcoding within the DVD Copy dialog
|
||
|
|
is not yet supported, so the destination disc
|
||
|
|
has to be large enough to contain all of the
|
||
|
|
source disc's (video) data in its original form.
