My doubt ?

[rui.m.godinho]

My doubt is: Not everybody has a M: drive letter assigned, but I know that if we press a second time in the button "Disc Image" it will show a window where we can change the drive letter. Now my doubt: in this drive must exist the original film or the final work from the film we have ripped. This drive must be a dvd/rw-rom drive or a hdd drive. If last one we must have 2 hdd, one with the system and the other with the film. I am asking this beacause I have a 60 GB hdd and haven't yet partioned it, cause if I do I will have to format and this will erase my files/movie and for consequence had to rent the film again (I'll do this after I make this film). Where I want to get ? Here: If I copy the film to a dvd-rw (I know it works in my standalone player / sony ns700v) and make the image from it will this image be recognized in any standalone player or do I really need to make the image from a clean hdd just with the film (video_ts) ???
I am asking this because I don't want to format the hdd yet cause this would erase the film that I have in it.

By the way, the format of the image will be recorded with which programs, nero, vobinstant or recordnow ?
