Burning ISO vs DVD files directly

[redsandvb]

Back when I used to burn mp3 files to CD as CD audio, NOT data, I would first convert mp3-to-wav on my hard drive, then burn the wavs to CD thinking that it would be easier on my cpu/system (since there'd be no need for mp3-to-wav conversion on-the-fly) and I'd get better results. Is the same true for burning DVD files directly vs burning an ISO? Is burning an ISO easier on the system than burning files directly?

 

Thanks!

Since an ISO image (unlike MP3) isn't a compressed file, the load on the CPU will be the same, no matter if burning from files or from an image.
