How to make an image file with Nero 5.5.6.4

Processing of an image file consists of two independent steps.

1. In the first step, the image file is created and saved as a file instead of being written immediately onto a CD.
2. In the second step, this image file is written onto a CD.

1. Select Image Recorder from the CD-RECORDER> Choose Recorder menu and confirm your selection by clicking on OK.
2. Create, for example, a CD-ROM (ISO) or an Audio-CD compilation.
3. Open the Write dialog. The easiest way to do this is to click on the Write CD icon in the toolbar You will then go to the Write CD dialog box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you: it is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation, only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top. You will see several boxes, some of which are already selected. Determine maximum speed and Simulate are already selected. In the case of an image file, however, it is enough to only select the Write box. You can deactivate the other steps by clicking on them.

4. You may now check over all of the settings on this and the other property sheets and make any necessary changes.
5. You may now confirm your selections by clicking on the Write button. The Save Image File dialog box opens. Here, you can enter a file name for the image file. The files of your compilation will be written into this file. In other words, you need as much space for the image file as the total size of the files of the compilation.
