Copy Project
What: A Copy Project can be used to copy any CD, DVD, DVD-DL or Blu-ray master. This job type reads the master disc from the Disc Publisher drive to the hard drive of your Mac. The master is stored in the Global Image format (*.gi) in a temporary location on your computer. PTPublisher uses this temporary file to make all subsequent copies that are requested. The master disc is read only once to create the initial temporary file.
Recommended for: All CD, DVD or Blu-ray content or disc types (Audio CD, Data CD, Software Install Disc, Video CD, DVD Video, Blu-ray Video: CDR, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-ROM, DVD+DL, DVD-DL, BDR, BDR-DL, etc.). This is best used for single runs where you will not need to make additional copies of the master disc a later time.
