Dvd Duplication | Glenn Ward

Duplicating DVD’s and CD’s using Mac OSX’s Disk Utility

Just a quick one as people are always asking me what software they need to copy DVD’s or CD’s, when all you really need is access to an apple mac.

Insert your DVD into your drive and open disc utility, click one on the drive (not the drives content) as detailed below.

Disk Utility Select DVD / CD

Next click File > New > Disk Image from (content of your drive) choose desktop and be sure to choose DVD/CD Master from the Image Format drop down.

Disk utility will create a disk image or .dmg of the drives content on your desktop. Once complete click once on the dmg in the disc utility window, eject the master DVD, Insert a blank DVD and click burn.

Let the mac do it’s stuff and there you have it a perfect duplication of your original disc. Alternativly fork out a few hundred quid for a disc duplicator.
