Copy DVD to Flash Drive

Followed directions in this earlier post:


But, clicking on the Disk Image now on my flash drive look like this:


Is there a way to now play this DVD?


Is there a certain format I should have entered for the flash drive? It was Mac OS Extended (Journaled) when I transferred the Disk Image.


Appreciate any help & advice.


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.6

Thanks for this...tried a solution I found on WikiHow & it worked as you described:


Placed DVD in external player ->


Opened Disk Utility ->


Clicked on DVD's name in left panel->


Up to FILE menu & selected NEW IMAGE ->


Clicked on IMAGE FROM [DVD NAME] ->


Entered a name in the "Save as" field ->


Selected [DVD/CD Master] from the FORMAT menu ->


Selected my Flash Drive as saving location from the "WHERE" menu->


Clicked SAVE->


Disk Utility created an image file ending with the .CDR file extension on the Flash Drive->


Double-clicking on the .CDR file mounts a Disk Image on the Desktop->


Opening DVD PLAYER results in the DVD playing from the Flash Drive!

I have not seen " DVDROM Features " on a disk image before.

However, with what you show above, I believe you would also get displayed on your desktop the mounted disk image similar to what I have shown below. It looks like a picture of a hard drive.

If you do, then double click on your Application called " DVD Player ".

Hopefully your movie should play.

Depending on the speed of your flash drive it may stutter on playback.
