Q: Decompose an iDVD project

Here is the problem. Created an iDVD project several years ago. Burned to a DVD. The DVD play great. After HD replacement and several OS updates, some of the pieces (iMovie and iPhoto movie clips) are no longer to be found in backups. Is there a way to take apart the DVD that works back into its original pieces so the iDVD project can be reassembled? If not, how to I copy the iDVD that works?

 

Thanks

Mac OS X (10.7.3)

    It's simple to copy the existing DVD video disk. 

     

    1 - insert it in the optical drive

    2 - launch Disk Utility

    3 - select the the disk in the pane at the left.

    4 - click on New Image button, name the disk and select where to save it.

    5 - open the newly created disk image by double clicking on it.

    6 - select the opened disk image in Disk Utility

    7 - insert an empty DVD disk.

    8 - click on the Burn button.  (select the slowest speed available, usually 2x, for best burn quality).

    Thank you very much. Guess there is not way to recreate the project. Oh, well.

     

    Thanks again.
