    I was sat at home absolutely panicking about making 20 copies of a DVD for work, then I found this video! Didn't know that my mac had this kind of useful software already installed, and this video was really really useful! you've saved my bacon, thanks!!

    Thanks very much for the great tutorial. Your instructions are down to earth and easy to follow. I am an older guy who is not good with technology and always have to rely on others for help regarding these issues. I spent the entire weekend asking others how to copy a DVD on my new apple laptop and nobody could help me; not even the Apple website does a good job as you did on your tutorial. I look forward checking your other tutorials. HenyF

    Matias, your video is the best "How To" for helping people make copies of DVD's.
    I tried many ways to do this task, but most of them were outdated, wrong, or confusing. For any user with OS X 10, your video is the one to watch. Well done!

    This can take up to an hour and a half or two hours depending on your computer speed but, it is worth it. Just do it overnight. You get an exact replica of your DVD, with menus. The downside is each disc can take up to 4.5 gigs on your HD. Hard drives are cheap these days. It's your decision. I have several camera DVDs that I bought 10 years ago and I was getting worried about how long they would still be playable. DVD's don't last forever. This solved that problem. Thank you, Matias.

    Hello Shauna. Thank you for the feedback. In order to write between 4.7 and 8.5 GB to a DVD you will need a dual layer DVD burner and dual layer (DL) DVD writeable disc. Both are very inexpensive. Anything larger than that will require a writeable blu-ray disc.

  • @MatiasBilbao
    @MatiasBilbao  Před 11 lety +1

    Absolutely. The disk image does take up space. When you create it you select where you want to save the disk image (dmg). After you are done using it, drag it to the trash and empty the trash. That will get rid of the file and free the space up again. Thanks for watching !

    @Warlion82 How would you put what in your iTunes? This tutorial is about making copies of CD and DVD media. If you have the original disc of a music album you wouldnt need to copy it to add the songs to iTunes. You would simply import the songs into iTunes.

    Excellent: simple, clear, quick. However, when I got into the "make disk image" step, it told me it could not make an image of an audio or non-data CD. I've made a copy before using iTunes, but it has trouble playing for some reason. I can't say it's the iMac, and I don't know how to test. But the real thing is, what's this non-data business? In any case, I know the steps. Thanks.

    @boxen76 Yep. I have had it for almost 6 years and it still rocks. I have upgraded all sorts of things. SSD for startup volume. Moved my home folder to a separate volume using an Apple raid card (8TB) plus have the Time Machine running internally. The thing is bullet proof.

  • @MatiasBilbao
    @MatiasBilbao  Před 13 lety

    @trapp2355 Were you trying to make a copy of a movie DVD or video game? If so,most of those are copy protected and cannot be duplicated in this way. I have a video posted here on how to do that using RipIt. If it ejects your DVD and CD when you insert, it can be because the media you inserted is not large enough for the disc image you made. Your combo drive is your Mac optical drive so no problems there. That is just how it is named. Make sure you have a large enough disc for your burn

    @MatiasBilbao  Před 12 lety

    Yes. You can use this for DL Discs burned through iMovie. However, the issues you experience in your DVD player are most likely related to the DVD player itself and how well it handles that type of DL disc. So, Disc Utility will make a good copy and burn a good copy, however it may play better on some players than on others

    @kittynamedkitty If you have dual CD/DVD trays you may need to insert the blank disc in the other tray. Alternatively you may have the wrong type of blank disc (i.e. DVD-R instead of DVD+R). The last scenario is a faulty disc or CD/DVD reader

  • @MatiasBilbao
    @MatiasBilbao  Před 11 lety

    You are correct. This method is more data CD's only. The easiest method to copy your music CD is to rip it in iTunes and then burn copies of it. However, consider the following: 1- you might want to up the quality of your imports (itunes-prefences-general-import settings) 2- you can only burn a playlist/album a limited number of times (I believe it is 4 or 5 times).

  • @Stringbean421
    @Stringbean421 Před 11 lety

    Actually, you are quite right about that. I've read that certain music companies are in talks with Apple offering higher quality downloads than the 256kbp we get now. Also. Macs don't have optical drives now anyway so how would I even burn a CD in the near future? Maybe I'll just listen to my CDs on the CD player for a while longer and see how things progress. Thanks.

  • @MatiasBilbao
    @MatiasBilbao  Před 13 lety

    @trapp2355 It could be a couple things. If you created an image disk from snow leopard for example (which is on a dual layer DVD) it would require a dual layer DVD to burn it. Some discs like snow leopard are almost 8.5 GB worth of data on a single disc. Though, that should give you a response similar to "not enough space in this media" or something like that. Also, the older your MAc (or PC for that matter) is, the dirtier your optical drive becomes and gives you errors.

    Hello Matias thank you 🙏🏾 for sharing this info I have a lot of movies to put in2 my Mac 💻. I have a question that hopefully you have time to answer. My prima has a eternal hard drive full of music and her son erased it all. She’d like to know if there’s a chance for her to recover that music. Many people have told her that it’s not completely gone, so the question is how can she recover this music if it’s still there?

    • @MatiasBilbao
      @MatiasBilbao  Před 5 lety

      Epie Fresquez , you can recover data from a drive you erased as long as you haven’t continued to use it and written over the old data. When you erase a drive using the basic erase or empty trash, it doesn’t actually delete the data. It simply marks it as available to write over. Use google and search for data recovery software. It’s not difficult to recover it. You will need another hard drive if equal or larger size as a recovery drive.
