Disk image?

[lchills]

I'm using Pinnacle Studio 8 (v8.8.17.0) and am a bit puzzled by references in the instruction manual to creating a disk image for later copying to DVD. I cannot find the 'create disk image' command anywhere: all I can see under Settings in the Make Movie section is 'create disk content but don't burn'. I believe also that if I want to burn a DVD later, having used this option, I still have to load the project concerned, which presumably means that I still have to hang on to the huge captured film files on my hard drive. What I was hoping was that it might be possible to save a disk image (of, presumably, about 4.7GB) and then delete the 36GB of .avi files currently saved. Do I have to keep these huge files as long as I want to burn copies of the same DVD from my hard disk, even with a disk image? Sorry if this is a bit garbled.

u may try to save ur produced file as save to disk for later burning and see for ur self what format does it saved if its a single file of say 4 gb or whatever ur size then u may not need those avi anymore.

save method would be to try encoding some test avi file and save that file a nd then see if its a image and u need the avi or not

Thanks - I was wondering if the image meant it was possible to discard the .avi - I'll give it a try.
