Issue with copying a DVD in Disk Utility

When I create a new Image in Disk Utility, I'm unable to eject my original DVD. The DVD doesn't show up in my Finder list either nor am I able to use the short-cut keys to eject. The computer no longer recognizes it as a driver.

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.3

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).


Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd

Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.


You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.

At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.

This will bring up the Help Menu.

Make sure the DVDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
