Well thats not much info to work with but I'm guessing your talking about DVD Shrink and if it is better to burn direct to disk or to burn to the hard drive first then burn to disk. In my experience there is no difference because even when you burn direct to disk the files go to the hard drive first and will stay there until you delete them. So either way is fine,but I like the direct to disk.

Burning from a DVD straight onto a DVD blank is called 'burning on the fly' its quick and quite easy. Most prefer to download the original to their HD first, any faults with the original are usually shown in this process, less wastage with discs'.

Bad idea to ever burn 'on-the-fly' with DVDs. The hard drive is alot faster in transferring data for burning than a DVD drive so you're less likely to get buffer under runs which makes coasters.

Plus a buffer underrun while burning a DVD video is bad news. It works fine for data but video's a different story.
