CDBurner and iView Media Pro

[Jack Rodgers]

I just learned something interesting about Disk Burner that I had 
overlooked in the past.

I used iView Media Pro to open a folder of jpegs on my hd and the 
inserted a new CD. I created a Folder named Pictures inside the soon to 
be burned cd window and then inside that folder created folders for 
various categories of pictures in the iView Media browser. Then I 
dragged the images from the browser window into the correct folder in 
the cd window. When finished I closed the IVMP window. Then I dragged 
each named folder in the cd window to the IVMP icon and adjusted the 
window that opened and saved it to the cd window. Repeating this for 
each folder.

When finished I selected the icon view which gave me a selection of the 
catalogs and the pictures folder. Then I burned the disc.

What surprised me was that I could treat the cd window just as I would 
treat any folder on my drive where as all this time I had thought of it 
as a rather static folder that I could only drag other files and 
folders into and it hadn't occurred to me to save files into it (that 
would only be on the cd and not the hd).

Of course saving the files directly onto the cd before burning is a bit 
risky since a freeze or crash will cause the saved files to disappear 
(I presume) and the files will take up temporary disk space before the 
disk is burned.

This does seem to be a method of creating files to be burned without 
having to clean them up when finished, or at least I think I don't have 
to...time will tell.
