I do this my making disk images(.iso) from the dvds. To do this I use disk utility > new image > save as dvd/cd master. Started with some Battlestar Galactica. First 6 disks of season 1 went fine. Next 3 disks of season 2 went fine. First disk of season 2.5 I get an input/output error about 75% through the process. Any ideas? mac dvd disk-utility share|improve this question asked Sep 4 '09 at 12:10 CT. 1,444164062 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted I think the issue is with your disk. If you have access to a spin doctor I would suggest that. Since your trying to get it as an iso, MacTheRipper and Handbrake will not do this. You could try http://www.xilisoft.com/dvd-copy-mac.html . You could also dd from the comand line. But this may be what disk utility already uses to create cd/dvd master copies. Just google this for syntax. share|improve this answer answered Sep 15 '09 at 12:55 calvin123 262 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote This could be a problem with the drive, or (more likely) a problem with the DVD. Perhaps there's a scratch on it, or maybe just a smudge. It's tough to say. If you copy the files directly, you can still play it with VLC. Also Disk Utility is not your only choice for backing up DVDs. I will point to MactheRipper or Handbrake for other options. share|improve this answer answered Sep 4 '09 at 18:08 jweede 5,12522532 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

I want to make copies. With the disk utility I clicked "make an image." I chose DVD CD/Master as the format. I have plenty of disk space. The utility poped up a dialog and ground away for a very long time. A progress bar slowly advanced. From a terminal window I could see a large file with a *.cdr extension was growing in my Desktop directory. At the very end a new dialog popped up telling me it was http://www.mac-forums.com/showthread.php?t=288818 unable to create the disk image due to an input/output error. The *.cdr file (which had been there on the file system and growing as the progress bar got bigger) was suddenly gone. What's the deal?

a crash of the video application. How to Detect an I/O Error It's easy to verify whether a file has I/O problems: Just try to copy it to a different location. If the operating system reports an error (Finder error -36 for Mac) then we have an I/O error. I/O error means that the storage media (card, disk, …) cannot be read at a certain location. Think of it as a scratch on a DVD or a "bad sector" on a card or a disk. The bad news is that this "rough spot" is in the middle of your file. If the "rough spot" is big (a big scratch on your DVD, hundreds or thousands of "bad sectors" on your disk), then the chances of recovery will be low. But in any case, the first step is to generate a clean, error-free copy of the damaged file. Since some segments of the file are not readable, the best that can be done is to skip them. We will explain later how to do this. With a clean copy of the file, parts of the original data are missing, but we no longer have I/O errors causing our diagnostics and repair tools to choke and crash. How to Copy a File with I/O Errors To salvage all readable data, we will use a fault-tolerant copy utility called dd. dd stands for "disk duplication". This is a command-line utility bundled with Mac OS X. A free version for Windows is also available for download. Be extremely careful, even if you are familiar with command line, because dd can cause unrecoverable damage to your data if you don't specify correctly input and output. You have been warned. The arguments of dd are straight-forward: if=path_of_file_with_IO_errors specifies input path of=path_of_clean_copy_to_create specifies output path conv=noerror,sync tells dd to be fault-tolerant Your output path should not be on the same disk as the damaged file. Actually, you shouldn't continue using the card or disk with I/O errors, because it's likely to cause more problems in the future. After recovery the data, you should scrap it or at most use it to store unimportant stuff. Using the Clean Copy Due to I/O errors, dd can take more time to create the clean copy than a normal copy would take. But it's really worth the wait, because now we have a clean file on which we can use our arsenal of diagnostics, preview and video recovery tools. I/O errors are a serious business, and scrapping the card after recovering the videos is probably the RIGHT THING TO DO. You should also consider that some amount of footage won't be recovered, or with a less-than-stellar quality. But that's a whole lot more than what you have now, right?
