DVD to ISO

[Maurice Helwig]

Can anyone suggest a freeware program to produce an ISO from a DVD
I thought that ImgBurn could do this but it will only do BIN for me.

Thanks

I tried that and I got the following error message ---

"Sorry, use Read mode to create an image file from a multi-track DVD-R
disk is not currently supported. Instead, use Build mode to create a new
'clean' image based on the contents of the disk"

The DVD I am using was made on a TV recorder and plays ok on any other
player. I do not know what the error message means completely so I
thought I would try to use some other freeware, hence the request.

I like ImgBurn but find it a little obtuse sometimes.

It mean to switch ImgBurn to "Build" rather than "Read" and then make your
image.

For data DVD, ImgBurn could do it fine.

For copyright video DVD, no idea...

Maybe IsoBuster (I Glugled, never had this problem with
unprotected disks)

http://www.isobuster.com/help/image_file_creation_settings

Might work. No idea how ImgBurn would handle the image.

Create Cue-sheet files (*.cue) :

Cue-sheet files (*.cue) were originally designed for CDRWin but they
are commonly used and combined with optical disc image files to have a
feel for the track layout of the CD, DVD or BD. Cue-sheet files
(*.cue) are in fact text files (you can open them with any text
editor). The actual CD data is always contained in a different file
(*.bin, *.iso, ...). So if you open a *.cue file with IsoBuster,
IsoBuster will know the track layout of the image but will get the
actual data from another file (*.bin, *.iso). This file's name is
also contained in the *.cue file.

IsoBuster can also create these files. Default, IsoBuster will prompt
you each time after you made an optical disc image. However you can
also set the option to always automatically create a cue-sheet file
after creating an optical disc image, or you can set it to not be
bothered again.

Cue-sheet files have limitations !! They're nice to get the track
layout of a session, but they do not support Multi-Session discs.
IsoBuster however adds features to the cue-sheet file so that
Multi-session discs are supported as well. These entries are preceded
by "REM" so that other applications (that do not support Multi-session
cuesheet files) do not complain. However, if you load these cue-sheet
files with IsoBuster again, you get the full potential of these added
features and you can see all sessions again properly.

Additionally to the option to create cue-sheet files after creating an
image, and totally independent from this option window, the right
mouse click on a CD/DVD icon option also provides a means to create a
cue-sheet file, without creating an image itself. This feature is
nice to create and share a layout of a disc without having to create
the entire image. There's once catch, cue-sheet files list the amount
of bytes per block that were extracted in the image. If you end up
using a cuesheet file created with this option you have to make sure
that the block size matches with the image itself.

Try the knackered free version. Give us feedback

If it is a multi-session disc (you burned to it several times), you'll
have to close the last session. The Read mode probably assumes you can
start from the beginning of the disc but that would only get you the
first session (so you'd lose out on the content in the later sessions).
Build mode probably reads all sessions but I'm not familiar enough with
ImgBurn to know if it creates an output file comprising just one session
(all sessions melded into one) or just has the last session.

Looking at the directory (contents) of a multi-session disc has you
seeing the file table in the last (most recent) session. In session 1,
you might have band.mp3 but you replaced it with a newer version in
session 2 with the same band.mp3 filename. You looking at the disc
would see the last band.mp3 file, not the first one. Sessions can be
left open to append more content into them. When done with a session,
you're suppose to close that session.

I haven't a clue what your TV recorder did as you added more content to
the disc. Maybe it's just one session but it wasn't closed. Just see
if switching to Build mode in ImgBurn works.

ImgBurn is doing what its supposed to.

That is, if the CD/DVD media is single-track burnt, then it will
produce a .ISO

If the CD/DVD media is multi-track burnt, then it will produce a .BIN &
.CUE file.

If you are trying to produce an ISO from multi-track burned media. Its
not going to happen.

BTW; BIN/CUE files are just as easy to store or burn back to CD/DVD
media as .ISO is.

Thank you all for your inputs and suggestions --
A little more information about what I am trying to do is in order.

I still have a fully functional VCR recorder/player so my daughter asked
me to transfer some family movies which had been made in the past by her
and her husband.

I agreed to do so an connected up the VCR to my Panasonic DVD/PVR (model
DMR-XW380GL) which I now use for recording Digital TV programs off air.

I transferred the video to the PVR's HDD while maintaining the best
video quality possible.

The second part of the exercise was to transfer the video to a DVD using
the built in DVD recorder/player in the Panasonic DVD/PVR. This I did,
and yes all the DVD's have been finalized so that they cannot be written
to further.

The finished DVD's play ok on my computer with a picture ratio of 4:3
but play through the Panasonic DVD/PVR to our Digital TV at 16:9 ratio.
In both cases the pictures are not distorted in any way. I can only
assume that Panasonic DVD/PVR has the capability to write information
for both formats to the DVD.
This may be the reason why ImgBurn will not make an ISO of the DVD.

I was only making the ISO as an backup archive copy to store away on my
server in case of accidents or loss of the DVD's once I hand them over
to my daughter.

As an aside to the above -- I found quite a few VCR tapes of my own that
I have converted to DVD. Once the VCR breaks down I doubt that I will be
able to get parts to repair it. I suppose the lesson here is to convert
to the latest technology asap.

Thankyou all for your comments, suggestions and instruction. I will go
through it all and hopefully learn something. I like ImgBurn and I have
made ISO's with it before so I will keep trying.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
I have been able to make an ISO file using ImgBurn - its a good program
if a little obtuse at times, but I still like it.
