Is there another way to create Media-Items except handing a FileStream to the MediaService?

        FileStream tmpFile = System.IO.File.Open(path, FileMode.Open);
        IMedia m = Services.MediaService.CreateMedia("Name", -1, "Image");
        m.SetValue("umbracoFile", "Name", tmpFile);
        Services.MediaService.Save(m);

I already have the file and it seems like a lot of trouble and terribly ineffective to copy it twice. I would prefere to put it manually in the media-folder.
