Possible to make backup copy of Tiger DVD?

I'd like to make a backup copy of my Tiger DVD, just to be safe. I've tried to do this with Toast Titanium and also simply copying the DVD files to my hard drive first. Both don't seem to work.
Isn't this possible? What if this thing gets damaged? Or am I being naive in thinking Apple would allow such a thing?
Thanks for any help!

The disks which came with each Mac are indeed system specific. However, retail disks which are newer than those systems are not system specific.
Some may believe that they are not system specific, and I've seen them post here. Though these links should satisfy most people's need for clarity:

  • Make Backup Copy of Installation DVD

    Trying to make backup copy of the SL installation DVD for my current model iMac . But I can't copy to a blank DVD (4.7 GB capacity) because image is 5.74 GB. Should I use a double layer DVD- and if so, what brands will work in the iMac?

    While you're at it, if you have 8-10 GB free on a hard drive, create a partition and use the Restore tab of +Disk Utility+ to copy it there, too.
    Then you can boot up and run from it instead of finding the disc (and it will boot and run much faster, too!).

  • Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD?

    Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD? If so, is there a special way this has to be done? I just found out that we needed to use the Leopard install DVD to recover a complete backup from Time Machine after a recent hard drive failure. We have the family pack of Leopard, so I would like to keep the original at home and send a copy when my daughter goes off to college in case she needs to recover again. Her machine was originally a Tiger MacBook, so those install disks will not work. If it is not possible to copy the DVD, is there a way to create a bootable utility to do a time machine recovery?

    This half-solved my problem. I have had no problems creating a backup copy for my intel based computers, but non-intel based computers are problematic; a G5 powermac tower and a G4 Powerbook. Both with super drives for single density burning. Both have Leopard running, installed from an install disc purchased from Apple. However, neither will mount the copy, but intel based computers will. have burnt/burned with both toast 9 and Disc Utility. Discs won't mount and are "spit out" by the drive.

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Thsi seems to be happening a lot. Mine just disappeared out of no where last night. I wasn't on the phone or anything. My sister texted me and I picked up my phone to see who it was and it just showed her number. I checked my contacts turned the phone off and back on and my contacts still weren't back.
    Anyone get an answer from APPLE on this issue. I have never had problems with my Iphones before but have had many problems with the 4s from the battery running down now to this. I refused to upgrade when my 4s is just a little over a year old.

  • Make exact copy of burned DVD

    Hello I have a burned copy of a DVD that I made on my PC and lost the project files, I want to make copies of this disc. Does Idvd do that, or is there another program for mac that can do this??

    you can do that with Disk Utility. Have a look at this:

  • Is it possible to make several copy actions to a plan in COPA?

    Hi Experts,
    In COPA, we would like to copy actual data from last year to the planning we made for reference use. The user should then adjust these actual figures to plan data.
    Since we would like to copy contract data and invoice data (which was sent to COPA via SD) to the plan we need to have two copy actions:
    1. copy actuals with record type A (contract data)
    2. copy actuals with record type F (billing data)
    The problem is now that the data from the second copy action overwrites the data from the first copy action.
    Is there a way to have copy different data to the plan without the data being overwritten?
    And, is it possible to copy data to the plan for only 2 months instead of for the whole year? Now the system says that the period to be copied should be equal to the period from the planning package.
    Best regards,
    Stephan

  • Is it possible to make a high res. DVD slide show that can be viewed with blue ray player/HDTV that retains high res. quality?

    I have used PE 12 to make slide shows on DVD but the quality is just not there when I view on HDTV.  Is there a way to accomplish this using Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 12?

    salrgrl
    Assuming that you are going to use the Elements Organizer Slideshow 12/12.1 as the sole builder of the slideshow and Premiere Elements 12/12.1 just for the burn to AVCHD on DVD disc....
    1. Before you start, open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to its Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    In Change Settings, set the project preset to NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR [email protected]. OK out of there.
    In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and put a check mark "Force Selected Project Settings on This Project". OK out of there.
    Minimize the program and do your Elements Organizer slideshow work.
    1. Build your slideshow in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor with photos with a 16:9 frame aspect ratio. If you can get away with pixel dimensions of over 1920 x 1080 and avoiding pre-cropping/resizing, then just make sure the frame aspect ratio = 16:9. If your photos are 3:2 or 4:3, then cropping to 16:9 before they get into the Elements Organizer. The question is whether the transfer from Elements Organizer to Premiere Elements is going to be influenced by photos oversized for the 1920 x 1080 16:9 project. If a problem, then we may have to back track and crop resize to 16:9 1920 x 1080. The photos are going to end up at 1920 x 1080 away in encoding.
    Please go with the Crop to Fit Slide as shown in the screenshot - will not compromise the goal here.
    2. When you are ready to send the Elements Organizer Slideshow to Premiere Elements for the burn to AVCHD on DVD....
    a. Save the slideshow as a Slide Show Project to the Elements Organizer.
    b. In the Elements Organizer, select the slideshow's Slide Show Project thumbnail, and then Share Menu/Burn Video DVD/Blu-Ray.
    c. When you do that, your slideshow will be in a Movie Menu/Publish+Share areas of the program which has the pre-set manually wanted project preset.
    The workflow choice was made since your intention was to use Premiere Elements just for the burn to AVCHD on DVD disc.
    3. Publish+Share
    Disc
    AVCHD
    with Presets =
    The presets is going to be the one that will give you the best results.
    First, look at Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080pNTSC Dolby....the one with the 23.976 progressive frame rate.
    Second, look at Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080iNTSC Dolby...the one with the 29.97 interlaced frame rate.
    The first choice in this particular case was made to be consistent with the Premiere Elements project preset
    that you set manually at the beginning to
    NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR [email protected].
    And, that was done since there are many reports that this project preset results in sharper images in the burn to products when
    all photos are involved in the slideshow.
    Please review and consider, and then we can decide if the above looks like it going to meet your expectations for viewing.
    Thanks for considering the above.

  • Possible to make a *copy* of a RecordSet

    i have a SWF that remotes a fairly large RecordSet (~1800
    records). It's a list of products and some info about them.
    I'm writing some code to let a store administrator associate
    products with each other ( so the site says "These other Companion
    Prodcuts might interest you"). I therefore have to list one record
    set of 1800 products simultaneously in two different data grids.
    the first to list the products and load the 'Companion Products'
    list. the other to let the admin choose which products to
    associate.
    Is it possible to COPY a dataset returned from a remoting
    call? I have my app working right now but each instance of the
    productListDataGrid that I have on my flash movie calls the list
    from the server independently. I was thinking it would be more
    efficient to call the list once and split it into two copies--one
    for each dataGrid. Can this be done?

    All you have to do is something like this:
    var myRS:RecordSet = myService.getData();
    myDataGrid.dataProvider = myRS;
    myOtherDataGrid.dataProvider = myRS;
    You can put those lines in a function and call it once. If
    you get an error when you try to put what came from getData() into
    myRS (datatype error), change the code to this:
    var myRS:RecordSet = RecordSet(myService.getData());
    That casts the return variable into a RecordSet.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to make a copy of my entire iTunes library to my USB 20 gig?

    I would like to back up my ENTIRE library (not just purchased songs) so that I could restore it if I ever needed to. I have around 8 gigs of data in my library which requires about 4-5 CD's to back up. Maybe this is a dumb question, but isn't there any other media option besides CD's??? Like, say, an external hard drive (USB SanDisk)?? That way I could just perform a periodic backup using ONE device instead of taking like an hour and a bunch of CD's.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this topic!

  • Once iDVD has been used to create a DVD, how can I make another copy?

    This may be a rookie question, but because of my bad history with computers, I generally don't like to use too much of my hard drive. I have a lot of family videos in iMovie now, and I want to be able to make a DVD and delete the originals from my hard drive. I also want to be able to make another copy of the DVD later.
    Is there a way to do that with just the Mac or is something else needed...since it seems that I am essentially burning DVDs?

    If you do a 'Save As Disk Image' from within your iDVD project when you have finished it, you will be making a disk image file for that project. Disk image files are self-contained, thus all the media information is encoded into the disk image file. You can then safely delete all the photos, movies, music files that were used to create your iDVD project and still retain the ability to burn more DVDs of that project in the future.
    You use Disk Utility to burn more copies.
    I save disk image files for all of my iDVD projects and place those files on a large external hard drive.

  • Creating and Booting From Backup OS X Tiger Disk 1

    I work on two MacBook Pros (one running OS X 10.4, and one running OS X 10.5), and recently purchased a 2003 imac 1.25Ghz 17 inch model in great condition. It came with 10.3 installed, but also had the retail disks for OS X 10.4 Tiger with it.
    The Disk 1 installer for Tiger won't boot-up the iMac, and it won't even mount on the iMac. The Disk 2 does at least mount. Tiger's Disk 1 will mount on my MacBook Pro's, so I used Disk Utility to create an image. I created one using Master DVD/CD, but this made a .cdr file that was over 5GB. I was able to burn a DVD+R DL for that, but that doesn't work in the iMac.
    I then created a compressed disk image .dmg file which made the size right at 4.4GB. It is just a hair larger than I can burn with either the Disk Utility or Toast v. 6.0.1. No matter what I do I can't seem to make backup copy of the Disk 1 Installer to fit on a single DVD. I tried using Toast to just make a copy of the DVD, but when I insert a single-sided DVD, it still tells me there is not enough room on the DVD. Help!
    Thanks.

    Disk 1 and Disk 2 retail Tiger install discs?
    What color are the labels, and what do they say on them? The retail version of Tiger is generally a single DVD with a black label. There were also a small number of retail Tiger CD sets made, with I believe 4 CDs. I'm not aware of a Tiger retail version that consists of two install DVDs.<<
    The labels are both gray in color. Disk 1 says iMac Mac OS X Install Disc 1 (version 10.4.10). The 2nd disk just says Mac OS X Install Disc 2 (no iMac). Both say they are part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold separately. With an iMac this old, would they have come with this iMac originally?

  • Copying a DL DVD

    about a year ago I created a DVD of some home movies onto a DL + R DVD. I no longer have the project files and I just wanted to make a copy of the DVD. So, I dragged the contents of the DVD over to my computer and then created a Burn Folder to burn those contents onto to another DL + R DVD.
    I am assuming that this is a possible work flow- someone correct me if I'm wrong.
    However, when I click Burn, it allows me to name the disc, but then I get an error message saying that the disc could not be used because the disc drive is not supported. I'm using the same computer with the same disc drive that this DVD was created on, so I"m confused.
    Suggestions please....

  • I am trying to burn a second copy of a DVD.

    I am trying to make another copy of a DVD I created in iDVD a few months back. But whenever I get to the encoding stage of the burn I get an ambiguous error message stating that there was an error during the media encoding process. All of the media is still connected, and has been used before.

    Your thought is perfectly sane and OK - BUT that's not the way things works.
    a. There is no straight forward way back to an editable quality
    b. iDVD can not edit video at all
    c. the picture quality on a DVD is severely compressed - in a sort of View Quality - and this is about 5 to 10 times smaller and has lost lot's of information - not in any way possible to recreate to 100% - but only to a poor quality.
    So I keep all my original material stored safely as it's the only way to get it if I need it again
    To back convert a movie on a DVD You can try several ways - see note following
    Photos in a SlideShow - I don't have the faintest and if possibly the quality will be Very Low
    DVD back for future editing
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
    B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 is said to be able to import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection). I never had any success with it.
    C. I prefer one of these two ways
    • Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
    • Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
    D. Read what Karsten collected.
    DVD back to iMovie.

    DVDs are in a so-called delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and 
    made for any processing as editing...  or, as honorable forum member

    "instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and

    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert-'em first, in 
    recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds.
    • DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro. 90$)
    • Apple mpeg2 plugin  (20$) + MPEG-Streamclip (free)
    • Cinematize >60$
    • Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    • Toast 6/7/8/9/10/11 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    • connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    • Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
    • Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org
