Duplicating multiple copies of DVD

I'm on a backpacker list, and for the last few years, people have compiled a DVD of highlights of the people hiking the PCT that year.
The program is public domain and copies are made without charge to the recipients.
I'm duplicating some of the DVDs as my contribution. Is there a way to have disk utility burn multiple copies without starting over each time and doing the whole verification and compiling before actually burning the disk?

Insert the original DVD, quit DVD Player if it starts, and run Disk Utility. Select the DVD drive in the left column (the drive, all the way to the left, not the volume indented below it). Select :New" from the "File" menu, and choose "Disk Image from disk...". Set "Image Format" to "DVD/CD master", choose a file location (such as "Desktop"), and click "Save". When it finishes, eject the DVD, select the disk image file in the left column, and click the "Burn" button (or use Command-B). If necessary, click the triangle at the right to see the burn options. You can use the disk image file to burn as many discs as you want.

  • Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

    Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS?  I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie.  When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu.  When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS.  It does not open at all.  Please advise. 
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
    If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD.  You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
    insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button.

    How do I burn multiple copies of a DVD in DVDSP without it formatting it every time?

    Unless I'm misunderstanding, you actually do want DVDSP to Format every time. In DVDSP jargon, Format is the writing of a Build to disc - either optical media or, as Jon mentions, to a hard drive image.
    What you don't want it to do is Build (or Build/Format) every single time. Build your DVD once, then Format (aka Command-F) every single time after that.
    (I recommend Build first - without Formating - because I like to open the folder I've built to in OS X's DVD Player and confirm that all my functionality is correct. Also, once in a blue moon, I'll have some type of Build issue, like a menu rendering incorrectly, that I'd prefer to spot before I commit to Formatting.)

  • How do I delete multiple copies of songs on my iPhone when my laptop's iTunes only has one copy of each?

    Hi, everyone.
    I've seen many versions of this question, but mine has some key differences.
    The problem is that my iPhone 4S has multiple copies of almost every song that I've selected to copy from iTunes. The easy answer is to delete all the music from the phone and then re-sync from the iTunes library, except that I don't sync, I manually manage, because I have a 9000 song iTunes library. According to iTunes on my laptop, I have 835 songs on my phone, but there are actually over 2000 on the phone due to the duplicates. The fact that the duplicates do not show up in the iTunes library means I also cannot use the "Show Duplicate Items" tool.
    I'm thinking that the only two solutions are:
    1. Manually slide and delete all 1200+ dupes on the phone
    2. Delete all music from the phone and then go back through the library and cherry pick what I want on the phone. This seems okay, but I don't know why this happened, so I'm afraid it will happen again.
    I'd be thankful for any advice!

    The cause was probably a USB glitch during a sync or when copying. The music resides on the phone in separate files. A master file contains a database with an index to the music, an entry for each track and a "pointer" to the file containing the track. Somehow the index got corrupted with duplicate entries. It's likely that the music itself wasn't duplicated, but some tracks had more than one entry in the database. I've seen this happen when syncing (rather than manually managing) also. In my case deleting the track from the Music tab in iTunes, syncing, then adding it back fixed it.
    A related problem I've seen is an album may be split, with some tracks in each of 2 or more album entries in the listing. Fixed the same way.

  • Multiple copies of JPEG on ePub export

    I'm making copies of a JPEG image and using this image in multiple places in my inDesign document. In the links panel, I see the disclosure triangle that shows all the pages that I'm using that link. So, all good so far.
    When I export the document to ePub, I would have expected there to be a single version of the JPEG file in the resulting ePub file. However, I have multiple copies of the JPEG file, all the same size, but with different names.
    So, if my original JPEG file is 1234.jpg, I'll have the following derivatives of that file in the "images" folder of the ePub:
    1234.jpg
    12341.jpg
    12342.jpg
    12343.jpg
    Then in the CSS and XHTML pages, the different uses of 1234.jpg will each reference their own version of the file, so:
    Page 1 will reference 1234.jpg
    Page 2 will reference 12341.jpg
    Page 8 will reference 12343.jpg
    etc...
    This seems very wasteful to me, as my ePub is now much larger because it has all of the duplicated JPEG files. Is there any way to avoid this, or is this expected behaviour?
    Thanks
    William

    I have ID CC 2014, 10.1.0.71
    I am exporting to Fixed Layout ePub.
    According to a previous post, this issue was addressed with the 10.1.0.70 release but that's not my experience, so wondering if there is any other solution than going through and editing the CSS generated code?

  • How can I delete multiple copies (600 ) of the same contact that ended up on my iPhone after backing it up on iTunes?

    In syncing my iPhone 3GS on iTunes, I now have many copies of the same contact -over 1,000 in one case-on my iPhone.  How can I delete these multiple copies without doing it one by one on my iPhone and how can I prevent it from happening again?  I have Outlook Contacts and MSN contacts -- iTunes is supposed to be syncing to my Outlook contacts, but I don't have multiple copies of any of my contacts there.  HELP!  Thanks!

  • How to print multiple copies of same image (with specific fixed dimensions) on single page

    I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Win 7 PC.  I am trying to print multiple copies of one image on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper? The images are artwork for buttons (to be used in button-making machine) so the dimensions must be exact on the duplicated images.  When I select Picture Package, the images are resized to fit the dimensions in the picture package. When I select Contact Sheet, the images are resized to fit the number of columns I selected.  Neither is acceptable.  How can I repeat the same image on a single piece of paper without having the system re-size the image?  I know that I can manually create a new PSE file and manually insert the images into this file.  This is what I have been doing as a work-around.   But I would hope there is a better/faster way.
    Thank-you!

    A variation of hatstead's method where the pictures are precisely aligned:
    1. Add the picture to the blank file as hatstead described. Use the Move tool to position the picture in the upper left corner.
    2. Duplicate the layer. Use the arrow keys (NOT the mouse) to move the new layer to the right.
    3. Repeat step 2 until the row is filled:
    4. Merge Down the 3 layers into one. Alternatively, link the 3 layers and do a Merge Linked as in this example. The end result is the pictures in the row are on one layer:
    5. Duplicate the layer and use the arrow keys to move this down to the 2nd row.
    6. Repeat step 5 to create additional rows.
    7. Finally, to center the whole thing on the sheet, link all the row layers and position with the arrow keys.
    Note that you can also custom-make your own Picture Package. Instructions for this should be somewhere in Help.

  • Multiple copies of the same photo on a page in iPhoto 11?

    Can I print multiple copies of the same photo on a page in iPhoto 11?

    Try the following:
    1 - put the photo in an album and duplicate it as many times as the number of prints you want on a given page. This is assuming the page is US Letter (borderless).
    2 - select all the prints and type Command+P (Print).
    3 - in the next window select Paper Size to be US Letter (borderless).
    4 - also, at the bottom of the window, select the aspect ratio and a custom size that will allow you to get all of the photos on one page.
    This screenshot is for a photo that has a size ratio of 4:3, was duplicated 3 times and then printed with a custom size of 4x3 selected to get four prints on the page. You can experiment the custom size until you get the largest possible size for the 4 photos on the page.

  • In iPhoto 9.5.1, how do I print multiple copies of the same photo on a sheet ?

    In iPhoto 9.5.1, how do I print multiple copies of the same photo on a sheet ?
    I am somehow missing the "settings" which allowed me to do this in earlier versions.
    Grateful for any hints. Thank you. Znon

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    You can only do it by duplicating the photos "n-1" times to make "n" prints and selecting all copies then print

  • Burning multiple copies of a project

    Don't mean to ask a stupid question, but here goes.
    After I build and format my first copy of a project, all subsequent copies get a message saying that a VIDEO_TS directory of this project already exists. Choosing Reuse will reuse as much of the current VIDEO_TS contents as possible.
    Is this normal? By resuing am I getting a DVD with less data than the original?
    I must not understand the process involved. Any help out there??
    Thanks.

    What is the difference in burning a TS folder in TOAST or saving in .img and using DiskUtility to burn many DVD ?
    I have many copies to burn, what is the best workflow ? The TS folder in Toast ( I have vesrion 5.2.3) or format in .img and use DiskUtility to burn ?
    When burning multiple copies it is preferred to burn from an disc image file, which you could do with either Toast 5.2.3 or Disk Utility. What's vital is that the image file is UDF format.
    Burning a VIDEO_TS with Toast 5.2.3 is prone to error because you have to use the DVD format in the Other tab, click New Disc, add the VIDEO_TS, create an empty AUDIO_TS and then click the burn button. And don't open the VIDEO_TS folder in the Finder before burning because that adds some invisible directory files that could affect the ability of the DVD to be playable. (Toast 6 and 7 automatically remove those files if present).
    By the way, Toast 6 and 7 added the ability to select the quantity of discs you want burned.

  • Burning multiple copies of a data CD?

    I need to burn multiple copies of a data CD (50).  Dragging to a burn folder each time is tedious... is there a way I can enter the number of CDs to burn and then mindlessly feed blank CDs into the (external) burner?

    Well, not quite mindlessly ....
    A bit easier process would be to use Disk Utility to create a DVD/CD Master image of the folder you want to burn to CD.  Then use Disk Utility to repeatedly burn the CDs.  But you will still have to initiate each burn; there's no batch function and of course you have to manually feed the blank CDs into your iMac.
    In Disk Utility, do File > New > Disk Image from Folder.   Select the folder you want to image, then select Image Format = DVD/CD Master.   This will give you a .cdr file.   Then, still in Disk Utility,, select the .cdr file from the list of disks and click the Burn button.

  • Another question about multiple copies

    I've seen several others posting questions lately about making multiple copies, but my question is just slightly different. I'll be making an iDVD project for our 5th Grade Recognition at school. Obviously, I'll be making it on my Mac at home. However, once it's finished and I have my final DVD, I'm going to need to make over 50 copies.
    Last year, when I did the presentation as a Powerpoint show, it was easy enough to use multiple (Windows) computers at school to duplicate. There are 4 computers that I used to just rotate CD's in and out of to make copies.
    Will I be able to use a Windows machine to make copies of an iDVD disk? I know that the computers can burn DVD's, so that's not an issue. I can't remember exactly which programs the computer have. I believe that one is Sonic something. The one that I used for CD's was IRecordNow (or something like that).
    Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?

    Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?
    No. Only DVDs made in a production house have copy protection applied.

  • HT1386 multiple copies of contacts

    I have been noticing that my iPhone has multiple copies of several (not all) of my contacts. It has added about 150 duplicates overall. It pushes multiple copies onto my gmail account. I can reasonably delete them from my g-mail account via my computer, but the next time I sync they are back.
    Is there anyway I can force the phone to accept the cleaned up g-mail list and avoid this duplication in the future?

    Sorry I don't have an answer, but in the interest of "misery loves company", I have the same problem. What is strange is that they are not all duplicated - only certain ones. I've looked to see what the ones that are duplicated (and in some cases triplicated)have in common, but I haven't found a common thread.

  • Burn Multiple Copyright Protected DVDs

    After I have created a copyright protected DVD (Formatted for CSS), how do I make/format multiple copies?
    I have tried making DVDs where you are allowed mutliple copies from that DVD but subsequent copies cannot be made from the copies. However, I find that the copies I have made from the original CAN in fact be easily copied using Toast.
    I tried copyright protection by Formatting for CSS and that seems to be more difficult for others to duplicate. The problem is that I have not been able to figure out how to format/burn multiple copies straight from DVD Pro. I have been doing it just one at a time.
    I would like to burn/format multiple copies of a copyright protected/no copies allowed DVD I have created. I have a Primera Bravo II Disc Publisher
    Message was edited by: Alex Cena

    Thanks Gary. That helps me on the Primera issue though I can just as easily burn the project onto a DVD burner on my computer then tell Primera's program to copy that x number of times. Your method may be quicker though so I will give it a try.
    In terms of copyright protection, I read what you wrote but I need to follow up with a question. First, when I check "No Copies Allowed" on DVD Pro, my users have not been able to make copies of that DVD. At least not easily with what the average person has on their computer. I want to make multiple copies of that kind of DVD w/o having to do it one at a time. Is there an easy way to accomplish that for runs of about 20 copies? I do runs of 10-20 copies several times a week so I am looking for a way to reduce my workflow.

  • Calendar has multiple copies of repeating events

    This is just ridiculous. Just about any repeating event fills up the calendar with multiple copies of itself. I'm rapidly losing faith in the calendar's usefulness. This doesn't seem to be a problem with items that existed before I upgraded to iOS4.
    Can anyone tell me what is happening? I've given up syncing the phone with MobileMe as there seems to a limit of 6 calendars.
    My Apple experience is going sour - hope someone can help.

    Suddenly on Lion on my new MBA, calendars would start duplicating themselves, every few seconds. I might have a calendar on MobileMe called "Cal1", and it and its events would start mulitplying, so on a Monday where it said "Eat Breakfast" (silly example), I would get 2 of them - then a few seconds later 3 of them (with a whole new calendar also called "Cal1"), and it just kept on growing. I went to iCal, Preferences, Accounts, and I could see them adding themselves in there too, faster than I could delete them.
    This was only on my MBA. I am also syncing two other Macs and and iPhone, and they were fine, as was the web-based calendar at MobileMe.
    I read around the Net and it was not helping, but I went right back to basics and deleted the plist file for iCal. That stopped it immediately, and over the last few days it's been fine.
    Here's how:
    I turned off my wireless Internet connection (and the calendars stopped replicating);
    I went into my Library folder (which in Lion, which now hides that folder, means that in Finder I went to the Go menu, then "Go to Folder" and typed in "~/Library", and it then appears in Finder under your "User Folder");
    in Library, open the Preferences folder;
    I found everything in there which said "iCal" in it, and moved them all to some other folder (on the Desktop, for example), in case I needed to put them back later; i.e. they were saved, but effectively deleted from Preferences.
    After that, iCal settled right down, and behaved totally normally.
    I probably didn't need to delete that many files, but the ones I found were:
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.Alarm.plist
    other apparently "temporary" files like com.apple.iCal.helper.ED60A...plist
    and most of these had associated ".lockfile" files (a new[?] thing in Lion) which I read about and then also deleted;
    I did not delete com.apple.iCal.help.
    Upon restarting iCal and/or re-syncing it, all of these files reappeared immediately, all of my calendars were back (they're stored somewhere else and were ready to go, on my computer), and everthing was cool.
    I hate to think how it would have gone had I not been a bit(?) geeky.
