Creating a ISO

[hijeff1]

I am very new to Macs, but would like to take an existing dvd and make a ISO with it to store on my computer. I am using Leopard and I have Toast 8, but I can't figure out how to do it?

Does anyone know how I can do it? Or is there another program that I need to but that makes ISO's? I really appreciate any help. Thank you.

Disk Utility in the utilities folder under Applications can do it.

As long as it's not copy protected, it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you so much, I just have one more quick question. I want it so It can be burned from a PC and a Mac. What volume format do I use? It also asks for Partition. What do I choose for that? and Image Format. What do I select for that?

Sorry for so many questions.

I don't have Toast, so I can't give you any direction there. As with most things Mac, it's probably very easy, and I'm just not seeing it.

I'm sure a true expert will drop in shortly.

In toast 9 you can just select the iso tab. Is it not the same in Toast 8?

The Iso tab for 8 is to burn a existing ISO onto a dvd, not make one.

I could be wrong, as it's been years since i've done it, but i seem to remember if you creat a .CDR in disk utility and rename it .ISO it works just fine. I know it something like that anyway
