You can't create a disc image but you can write the folder structure to your HD. You would then have to use a third party utility to either burn the folder structure to a disc or create a disc image from the folder structure if that's what you prefer.
Burn in 2D > untick "Burn to disc" and instead select "Create a folder"

JL:
Looking into the program, yes you do create a disk image when burning the disk. So, when the disk is done, open the location of the "image" and move it to another folder in your HD. Then with the help of other programs, you could burn that same image using another program, menu and all.
IT WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION to Power Director to be able to render just an image. 5.1 Surround sound mixing for music or sound effects would be great as well.

I didn't know that PD created an image when a disk is burned, but many Cyberlink users use ImgBurn for this purpose. It's free and your favorite search engine can find it. As JL_JL says, though, you have to write it to a folder first. Dell Precision 7510 Laptop

That would be something very new. I just checked and my PD12 with 2726 patch does not create a disk image when I create a DVD or BD. Post a pic of some proof. It does create the folder structure and then burn that, but not a disc image. The process was detailed fairly completely here, I am not aware that anything has really changed. http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/29660.page#162577

When I burned a disk, the program asked for a location to place the folder in. That location will hold the image. It is considered where the "folder directory" and when you finish the burn, you can go into that folder via windows explorer and copy that folder into another location. Otherwise, the next project you burn, will erase that image....
Try it and let me know if it works for you. It did for me. I do have a disk burning program already, so I can produce as many copies that I need....

I just experimented with this, with the make folder option unchecked and checked. When the option is unchecked all it did was to burn a disk with no folder. With the option checked it will make a folder, but that folder did not include an ISO disk image; just .BUP, .IFO and .VOB files. There is no .ISO image file included. I became aware of that deficiency in this program early on and have always wondered why. It's a non-issue with me, though, as the program I previously mentioned takes care of that.

If you can get an .ISO image out of this program congratulations; you're the first user that I ever heard of doing so. Dell Precision 7510 Laptop
