1.	Put the disc you want to create image of into your physical device.
2.	Click on 'Make Disc Image' button.
3.	System will display 'Disc Imaging' dialog. Ensure that correct physical drive with the disc is selected (1). Choose reading speed (2) and click on 'Browse' button (3).
4.	System will display 'Save As' dialog. Choose place to save image to (1). Select image type (2), .mdx format is recommended and click 'Save'.
5.	You can update additional options on 'Device' and 'Properties' tabs (1) if you want (like protect the image with password, etc.) and select folder for the image in the image catalog structure (2). Click 'Start' (3).
6.	Wait for total progress bar to reach 100% and 'Disc imaging completed' message. That's all — disc image is saved, click on 'Close'.

You can use one of the following methods to create a new image:

Open 'Tools' menu and select 'Make Disc Image' or just press Ctrl+N.
Click on button from the Main Toolbar.
Navigate to Physical Devices panel, right click the proper device and select 'Make Disc Image' menu item.
Right click program's icon in the system tray and select 'Tools' → 'Make Disc Image…'

Depending on the chosen Profile, DPM Speed list may appear in the right pane of Device tab. You should select the speed in Sub-channels list for changing DPM values there. The program keeps these values in MDX file. Later these values are used to reproduce required delays on data reading from the image file, just as an original disc. Please note, that data reading speed from the physical CD/DVD disc is unequal, in comparison to reading speed for hard drives. Using MDX format for creating disc images it is possible to emulate topology of original disc (RMPS). The more values MDX file contains, i.e. the more precise DPM reading, the more accurate RMPS emulation we get.

Depending on the chosen Profile, DPM High Precision option may appear in the right pane. Check this option to force the program calculate DPM parameters with high precision.
