Can't find image file

Without thinking I saved an image of a project I did and can't find it. It is in the final burn screen where you have the option to save a disk image file when you render the final project. I burned several DVD's and then it gave my wife an error msg. When I tried to continue with the burning it would not work so I saved the disk image file (with the default name) and can't find it to start my burning over. Sure would like to find it so I don't have to set it all up again just to burn a few more.

Where would a disk image file be saved?

Thanks in advance.

Well unless you changed the working directory in File > Preferences (or the Preferences in the first icon in the bottom left of the burning screen), you will find it in My Documents\Ulead Video Studio\11.0\ (or 10 or 9, depending on the version of VS you are using). And of course it will have the extension .iso as a disc image file...

Thank you sir!
Found it right off the bat.

Now... I forgot how to load and use the image file.

Looking in the manual again. Only have a manual for version 9, but have version 11plus now.

An disk image file is a disk image file, regardless of the version you used to make it. Its only purpose is to allow you to burn as many copies of it as you like to DVD. For that, you can use the Ulead Disk Image Recorder which came with VS11 (on CD2 or the third [Bonus] file if you have the download version). If you have Vista, just enter 'Disk Image Recorder' in the search line. If you have XP, then it will be found in the XP Menu item where VS11 is located as a separate sub-item.

You can also burn .iso files to DVD with other programs such as Nero.

Personally, I prefer to make a DVD folder (Video_TS) instead of a disk image file. That is because, after preparing it, you can preview it in a software DVD player like Win DVD or PowerDVD to make sure everything is the way you want it. And then of course you can use it, like an .iso file, to burn multiple copies. However, VS does not allow burning of DVD Folder to DVD. For that you have to use a third party program like Nero.

However, I don't think you can preview an .iso file with software DVD players, though I could be wrong on that and will promptly be told here of that if I am!

To burn a .ISO file to DVD - do not open VideoStudio but on your computer go :-

"Start >> All Programs >> Ulead VideoStudio # >> VCD DVD Disc Image Recorder"

Import the .iso - burn a DVD.
