Duplicating burned dvd's? any programs?

i have a ton of dvds burned on dvd-r's and i need a program to copy them. i tried using "burn" but you need an image file to mount and i dont know how to do that. any other programs out there that would work?

The above answers are correct: Disk Utility can duplicate non-protected DVDs. Note that the process is a bit more complex than the above:
* Insert the DVD to duplicate
* In Disk Utility, highlight the DVD
* click "New Image"
* Name your disk image and save it
* Importantly, choose "DVD/CD Master" in the image format pulldown
* choose encryption: none
* Create the DVD image.
Then, just select the DVD image in the utility, and select "Burn." Insert a blank DVD and it will duplicate it.

Error Code- 6 When Burning DVDs/ CDs- Any Ideas

I recently had a problem burning DVDs from iMovie due to an error code- 6 (whatever that is!) I had put this problem to one side for a number of months, on account of the fact I don't burn that many DVDs. I have now found the problem has spread to CDs as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this, or is it new drive time?

Hi Skinner,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Firstly you can't burn DVDs from iMovie!
Under OS 9 Error 6 was an overflow error, although I can't confirm its the same under OS X it sounds like it could be a buffer overflow issue in iDVD. This would mean that the computer cannot supply the data to the drive quickly enough. Try the following things (which admittedly are undesirable but may be neccesary):
Close down all Applications not directly involved in what you're doing to free up processor time and memory.
Burn at a lower speed (choose 1x or 2x rather than 4 x).
Try different media those PC World branded disc may not be as good as a Verbatim.
Hope this helps

PE3 crashes when I click "burn dvd". Any help, please?

Hello. My PE3 works just fine, except for one problem, that has plagued me for some time. When I finish editing, then complete the menu (title) page, I click "burn dvd". Invariably, PE closes. When I re-open the project and redo the menu- the forced closure didn't save the menu- it works fine, every time. I tried saving the project and re-opening before burning, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm running XP, Service Pack 3, with 2.80 GHz and 1 Gig of ram. Any help would be appreciated.

Suddenly unable to burn CDs using any program.

For ten years I've been converting LPs to CD, recording FM files weekly and burning them to CD, etc., but suddenly I'm unable to burn any sort of audio file--whether in iTunes or Toast. I insert a blank CD, click on burn, and the blank CD simply ejects, asking me for a blank CD.
I have recently downloaded for trial purposes (and trashed, I think) some audio programs--an upgrade to Sound Studio 3, Audio Hi-Jack, Fission, Audition, Cacophony. Is it possible that I've unwittingly produced a conflict of priorities and permissions, thereby freezing things up? What might be a solution worth trying?
Another thought is that unknown to me there's a "back-up" library of aiff audio files somewhere on my hard drive which has taken up gigabytes required for burning.
Open to all suggestions,

I write music -- we're getting ready to record another cd and I desperately need help here!!
I can no longer burn an audio cd from a play list! These are my tunes that I wrote and uploaded into the library and then moved to a play list
When trying to figure out what happened, I noticed that itunes had been automatically updated to the most current version on my computer --
I was still on 10.3 which doesn't support it -- I've since downloaded the 10.3.9 and still cannot burn the cd's

After upgrading to Lion, I am unable to read burned DVDs. Any idea what is wrong?

While I was using Snow Leopard, everything was working fine; but after upgrading to Lion, my Mac Mini (2010) is unable to read any disks that have been burned. All store purchased disks work fine, but nothing I have tried has worked for the burned ones. Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong?

Well, I did notice a few things about the disk I used that were on that list. I'm going to try burning a new copy on a new disk that has few to no scratches, not mark on it, and keep it off max speed. I'll get back to you when it's done. That may take a while seeing as it's an ISO that I'm burning and it took a good 15 minutes at max speed.

No Recorder Found while trying to burn DVD

Im new to Encore CS3, I am used to using Sonic DVDit Pro 6 for my DVD authoring needs. I am just messing around with everything trying to learn a new program. When I click on "build", the build window opens up and in "DVD Settings" under "Destination" it states that no recorder has been found. I have a DVD burner, this I am sure of. It is a Lite-On Super-Multi LH20A1H Lightscribe DVD Burner and have never had any problems burning multiple DVDs when using the Sonic program. Now, using Encore, my DVD burner is not recognized, therefore causing me to not be able to burn DVDs.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Probably too late to help in this thread, but may save someone down the line.
In the Premiere Elements forum, we were troubleshooting a "drive not found" issue, and ran down the usual supsects (see Jeff's link above, if it still works now). The user had none of these and had never installed them. Cables were checked and rechecked. Drives were uninstalled in Device Manager, and then reinstalled upon bootup, and functioned perfectly, except for PE. One thing was a bit odd, however, as the burner showed up as a CD drive in some of locations (like My Computer), when it was a full multi-drive, with updated firmware.
Through luck, and hard work on the user's part, we traced it back to Intuit's Quicken. The user did backups to disc from within Quicken. What happens is that Quicken looks around the system and finds some form of packet-writing software. If there is no Nero, or Roxio, it invokes Windows' packet-writing module, which is usually dormant. Once this has been invoked, it "hooks" that burner every time the system boots up, and because Quicken tells it that the drive is a CD drive (what Quicken backs up to), the system thinks that it's a CD drive also. So, besides Roxio and Nero, one can also run afoul of Quicken, if they have ever used its Backup to Disc function to write to a CD. Do not know if the newer versions of Quicken do the same, but it's likely. Just another program to add to the "usual suspect's" list.
Hope this helps someone else with a "burner not found" issue with Encore.

My matshita uj846 super drive wont burn dvd. get error

my super drive wont burn dvd . and i get an error : sense key medium error sense code =0x73,0x03 for cd it work fine and read dvd ok just wont burn dvd of any kind tryed differrent makes but no result .. help pls

Hi and welcome to the discussions!
Google is your friend...
I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

Video quality of burned DVD way inferior to content viewed in iDVD program

I notice the video and menu quality on my burned DVD is VASTLY inferior to video and menu quality when viewing menus and content in the iDVD program while building the presentation.
Having encoded at "Professional Quality" to a single layer DVD which didn't look so good, a number of posts in this forum suggested that "Best Performance" actually renders the best video quality.
I'm using high-quality media from Verbatim so that's not a problem. The DVD's burn fine.
The content -- all high-quality QT movies with great resolution, color and crisp text and animation, look great in and of themselves, and when viewed in the iDVD program. The menus and clips embedded in the scene select buttons, all look crisp and clean.
Burned to DVD however, the video looks noticeably "worn" and the clips in the buttons lack any kind of crispness or resolution. Definitely disappointing. The animations look herky-jerky.
Anyone know what the problem is?

Hi
No iDVD has a fixed quality - as old time TVs
• PAL 625 lines (720x576)
• NTSC 520 lines (720x480)
so Your Mac screen are way higher resolution.
There are NO HD version of iDVD - yet
*DVD bad quality*
copy of an answer on a similar question - may be of help
the iMovie 08 & 09 don't apply
There are two problems in this question.
• iDVD
• iMovie'08 or 09
iDVD - can only handle Standard definition TV quality - NO version can handle HD !
SD-TV
EU - PAL system = 625 lines analog display (no pixles) 25fps
US - NTSC system = 520 lines and 29.97 fps
That's the best iDVD can do.
iMovie up to version HD 6 - could handle interlaced video (displaying every second line
first then start over with the rest - 25fps = 50 frames of interlaced video
less flickering.
iMovie'08 and 09 has destroyed this by deleting every second line
Result a resolution of
PAL 312 lines
NTSC 260 lines
So photos displayed this way will look crappy.
Improvment
Use iMovie HD 6 or FinalCut Express or Pro
Else only way I know of to get "full" quality is by using other tools all together.
Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro (incl BR-component) and here the included FotoMagico™ for SlideShows.
Toast™ also can burn Blue-Ray - even on standard DVD (but much less eg 20 min movie)
These BR-DVDs Can only be playbacked on a Blue-Ray Player (eg PlayStation 3)
But they look super.
A more specific part reg. FinalCut
I do in FC-Express or Pro
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and spaces)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (Important)
I use
• Verbatim DVD-R disks
• Burn at a reduced speed x1 or x4 recommended by many)
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk for 4x3 SD video
and my guess is that I would secure 5 - 6 times more for 16x9 HD
(Still no version of iDVD can do HD)

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
Yours Bengt W

I need help finding a program to burn dvds on my ibook

i have a hp dvd1040 external DVD burner, my ibook g4 reads it, and i can burn cd's,and watch dvds with it, but the program it came with to burn dvd's is only for windows, I'm looking for a free program that i can download but cant seem to find any, any suggestions? thanks!

Not sure about the capabilities of the HP external drive in question,
but with a variety of drives known to be supported in Mac OS X
for certain tasks, there are some freeware and shareware utilities.
One that may be helpful, if not in that case, in the general arena,
is this open-source Burn 1.721u freeware. It can do quite a bit:
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
It may be, the better type of external DVD recording device would
be a FireWire one; as they are generally better suited with Macs.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Dvd player 3.2 unable to play burned dvd- Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I'm trying to play a burned dvd movie on my dvd player 3.2, but the dvd player doesn't automatically start playing it. My ibook, 10.2.8, doesn't seem to be able to read it. However, I tried the dvd on a new Mac and it works.
Any suggestions on what to do, besides buying a new Mac? Thanks!

I can't find the "post new topic" so I'm choosing
"reply" and hoping someone can help.
The new topic button is at the root level of each forum (like iDVD 5 or iDVD 6) towards the upper left corner. You won't see it when you are looking at someone else's messages.
I have an iMac, 10.2.8, with a DVD Player 3.2 that
has been working fine for several years.
The last few weeks when I put in a commercially made
DVD, it won't play. It doesn't automatically show up
on the desktop, and when I manually open the DVD
Player, it doesn't read the disk although the program
opens without problem. This isn't happening to all
commercial DVDs, but most.
This isn't happening to all commercial DVDs - Doesn't sound like a problem with Apple's DVD Player application - you may have a dirty lens in your DVD drive.

I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

Hi
This Q is close to - Something is wrong. What's it ?
You have to supply much more info to be able to start guessing.
• What material was used ? Video codec, Audio file format and Photo file format
• Free space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ?
• Brand of DVD used ?
• Type of DVD used ?
• Burn speed set down or not ?
• Version of iMovie, iDVD'11 v 7.1.2 (OK), QuickTime and Mac OS ( X.6.8 I read ? )
And all extra info You can supply - that set's us on track.
