Found it! Yes what you mentioned is true......

HERE:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/pro-tip-use-an-optical-recovery-drive-in-windows-81/
QUOTED<<<When Microsoft removed the Windows 7 File Recovery tool from Windows 8.1, it also removed the ability to create a Recovery Drive on an optical disc. This means that in Windows 8.1, you can only create a Recovery Drive on a USB flash drive.>>>

AT THE SAME WEBSITE ..... ONE SOLUTION POSSIBLE:
( "Note: Even though the end result of this trick is to have a Windows 8.1 DVD, keep in mind that this DVD can only be used to perform a Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 upgrade. You cannot use it to perform a clean install of Windows 8.1. " )

<<<The optical way in Windows 8.1
In Windows 8.1, you can create a Recovery Drive on a USB flash drive using the same procedure as in Windows 8. In Windows 8.1, you get an optical Recovery Drive by using your Windows 8.1 installation DVD. You probably updated to Windows 8.1 via the Windows Store and don't have a Windows 8.1 installation DVD, but you can get one by following the procedure I describe in the article Get the ISO you need to create your own Windows 8.1 DVD.

To use a Windows 8.1 installation DVD, you boot your system from the DVD as you normally would. You'll see the first screen titled Windows Setup. As you see in Figure A, even though this is for Windows 8.1, the logo still says Windows 8. >>>
