Although I'm still virtually a novice, I thought I'd now just about
grasped what an 'image' was. And in particular that an image of a DVD
was *different* to the combined folder you get on HD after authoring a
DVD, which contains the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. But in
DeepBurner Pro the first operation (top button) when preparing to burn
is SPECIFY IMAGE, which it describes as specifying the two folders
above.

I emailed DeepBurner Pro Support and asked them if they were using the
term image wrongly, instead of 'video files', but they said:
"No, this term used properly because those folders (VIDEO_TS and
AUDIO_TS) form IMAGE for the videoDVD."

So was my understanding incorrect? I still don't quite get it. If I
use a program to 'write an image' of a DVD to my HD, it doesn't appear
as a set of BUP, IFO & VOB files, so how can these terms be the same?
