Best DVD to ISO app

[blankito]

Hi,

I tried Ripit and Mac DVD Ripper Pro but it only Rip to .dvdmedia files and I really need the ISO format for my Boxee

Handbrake does not support ISO neither so forget about that

What application should I use then?

Thank you!

Disc Image? It's in Applications>Utilities.

You can try dd from the command line as well. I used it for a bunch of disks that I wanted convert but did not want to leave in the drive while doing it. A command line like this will do it for you.

dd if=/dev/disk? of=/path/to/save/file.iso bs=2048

You would of course replace the disk? part with the proper number for your dvd drive.

Mac the Ripper is where it's at.

you can use drutil status to get the disk number but before you create the iso with dd=/dev/disk? you need to unmount it I believe. My steps are

drutil status /dev/disk?
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk?
dd if=/dev/disk? of=/path/to/image.iso
diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk?

That's what I've been doing - Create a disc image (selecting CD/DVD Master as the type) and when finished, just rename .cdr to .iso

.dvdmedia is just a folder, if you remove the file extension you'll see the VIDEO_TS folder.

Yeah. Seems the simplest way, rather than messing around with command line code. 😕
