Hi All,

I have been getting this message "Unable to Create: input/output error." when trying to upload a dvd to burn using Disk Utility. At first I thought it was a problem with the disc so I had a friend of my send me another copy. This was 2 discs. The first disc I get the error message the 2nd disc copied perfectly. My friend sent me the first disc again and I still get the same error message. It uploads about 2/3 of the disc and then the error message shows up. I tried on both my desktop and laptop and same error message on both. Both are using Leopard.
This is not a copyright protected disc. This is a personal disc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

I was hoping someone would have a reply to this. I was trying to get this taken care of as I need the dvd for this weekend. Does anyone know who I can contact to try to get an answer?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

No, I was never able to get an answer to the problem. I have tried the disk several times since and still the same error message. Friends who have a pc were able to burn it with no problem.

I was able to fix my problem.
my DVD had a corrupt part of a second in the end (didn't play it).
I was able to burn it with HandBreak (http://handbrake.fr/?article=download). The new DVD i made works with Disk Utility and i made a disk image and copied it once more.

hope this helps

I got mixed up a little, I used LiquidCD (http://www.maconnect.ch/index.php?page=liquidcd&lang=en) to copy the DVD.
I copied the DVD to desktop with copy/paste then with LiquidCD i chose in video DVD the folder and burn.
I used handbreak to import the DVD to imovie
