The .cdr file is because it's a CD/DVD master, a file you would send to someplace that makes CD's or DVD's commercially. For your purposes all you need is an ordinary disk image. Here's my procedure to make a copy of a DVD: mount the original. Start Disk utility. Select the Volume on the disk (the indented icon with the name under the icon of the drive.) Select File > New > disk image from diskNsN (the N's will be numbers, usually it says disk3s0) and proceed from there. A CD/DVD Master is a master file for making copies, a Read-only disk image will make a .dmg file, and if the original disk starts DVD player when double clicked, the mounted image form the .dmg file should as well. Double-clicking on the DMG will only ever mount the disk image as a disk. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
