Static And Dynamic Content
The DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR PRO allows CD/DVDs to be created from
both static and dynamic content. A finished CD/DVD created from static
content will contain the exact files and folders that are specified when the
disc image is created. A finished CD/DVD created from dynamic content
will contain the files and folders that exist in specified locations at the time
the job is submitted for recording (rather than when the disc image is
created).
For example, specifying dynamic content when creating a CD/DVD layout
would allow a job to be run every week that records the contents of a
specific folder onto a CD/DVD without having to create a new disc image
every time. In this case the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) can
change.
To specify a file or folder on a disc image as containing dynamic content:
•Highlight the Volume which will be using dynamic source then Click
the *.* check box.
Note: Please be sure not to exceed the capacity of the disc being used.

Saving The Current Disc Image File
Once a data disc image has been created, it must be saved for the
DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR PRO to use it as a data source for recording. Disc
images can either be saved as script files (with an “ISC” extension) or
physical image files (with an “ISO” extension).
A script file (ISC) contains pointers to the source data files and is used as a
guide at the time of recording the CD/DVD. Since a script file does not
include the source data it is best used when producing unique projects with
dynamic content, or when the source data will always be available to the
DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR PRO. Or, if producing software, a “static” image
would be best to ensure content.
A physical image file (ISO) is an exact replica of the final CD/DVD and
contains all of the source data. It is therefore best used when producing
static projects that are recorded on a regular basis, and when source data
will not always be available to the DIRECTOR/DIRECTOR PRO. Please
note that, depending upon the amount of data to be recorded, a physical
image file can occupy as much as 700 MB of hard disk space.
