unnecessary copy to temp

[BeemerBiker]

When creating an ISO, is there any way to avoid copying the BDMV and CERTIFICATE structures to DVDFab\Temp when those structures are already on a hard drive?

Thanks!

Its a temp and gets erased when you are done backing up the movie, I know there is an option to change were the the temp dir is.

Yea, but it takes 6 minutes to copy the 22gb of files and then 14 to turn them into an ISO. It should just take 14 minutes.

Yes, they are deleted, as I found out when the ISO conversion fails due to network problems.

It just seems to me that if the files are already on a hard drive to start with (like c:\temp), that there is no need to copy them to another location on the same hard drive (c:\users\...\Documents\DVDFab\temp). IMHO, DVDFab should just to an in-place conversion to ISO.

my 2c.

I don't know what network issues would cause a problem? When ever I back up a movie I always do it to the HDD which only takes 20 to 30 min depending on the size, I write it to a specific spot on the HDD and the temp dir never comes to mind! If you want to make an ISO, select the ISO icon and it will make it in the dir or your choice! The back up times of Fab are pretty quick more so I've never herd a complaint of it! Also the temp dir writes ofther files to like your logs.

If you just need the ISO for playback, use the dvdfab.miniso file. It takes like 5 seconds to write. You can create one if you have a BDMV folder with no .miniso using Write Data mode in Blu-ray Copy, but any BDMV folder written by recent versions of DVDFab should already have one. Mount it with DVDFab Virtual Drive (free).
