Make a CD iso Image in OSX

Posted by Joel Jensen Sun, 20 Jan 2008 14:23:21 GMT

Insert CD/DVD source

GUI method OSX

  • Go to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
  • Select the cd SESSION, it’s the cd icon that is indented One level, click info, note the Disk Identifier of the disc, something like disk1s1
  • Note: you can click “New Image” to make an image of the cd at this point.
  • Select Image Format of DVD/CD Master from the dropdown.
  • Make the image.
  • Then rename the extension to .iso.

GUI windows I found a nifty windows program Infrarecorder that copies cds and makes images.

Command line method OSX:

Note: the disk1s1 part comes from Disk Utility ( see above ).

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1s1
dd if=/dev/disk1s1 of=file.iso bs=2048
# you now have an iso.
