Q: Disk image using usb dvd drive

I'm trying to create a disk image from an install dvd using an external dvd drive.  The drive just chunters away but nothing happens and I get error code 2 after about 5 minutes.

 

I know the disk is good, and the drive works in every other way.  Has anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    No one?

     

    I have the same problem with a Macbook Pro, it seems impossible is to create an iso using an external optical drive.  Do I need an apple original drive?

     

    I find it difficult to believe I'm the only one who has found this problem!
