The Save Image project creates disc image files and saves them on your hard drive. These files can be used to create new copies of your discs whenever you wish using the Burn Image project.

To learn how to create a disc from a disc image file, see Burn a disc image file. For a more detailed discussion of disc image files and disc image file types, see Understanding disc image files.


Tips

  • By default, your disc image files will be saved in your My Documents folder. If you choose a different location, this new location will be remembered the next time you create a disc image file.
  • By default, your disc image files will be given the following name: Image_[date]_[time].gi. You are free to select a different name and different file type.
