Unable to make a copy of a physical disc

Unable to make a copy of a physical disc

I've created a blu ray disc via FCPX, and have burned a copy. How can I make a disc image from the physical disc, so that I can make additional copies?

I made a blu ray version of a video, and I have the blu ray disc. I no longer have the original files from FCPX (my computer got wiped out in an earthquake), but I'm trying to make an additional copy of the blu ray disc. When I tried opening "Disc Utilities" and clicked on "New Image," and selected "CD/DVD Master," I got a disc image with ".cdr". When I tried to burn it, I got an error message saying that there wasn't enough space on the blank blu ray. The .cdr image shows it to be 24.22GB.

I tried creating a "burn folder" on the desktop, but cannot seem to drag and drop from the original blu ray the necessary files.

Do I need to purchase Toast in order to accomplish this, or is there another way to create a blu ray disc image?

Any help will be appreciated.

You can try Toast - I've used it to copy a video DVD to another DVD (however, it was not bluray, just a regular HD); note that Toast will not work if trying to copy commercial DVDs.

Thanks Babowa,

I had Toast on my old computer, and ended up installing it on my new computer, and it worked.

(By the way, I have the newest version of Mac OS, and I installed Toast 11 Pro. Upon the initial installation, I got a message that an updated version was available, so I downloaded and installed it. It works fine with my new computer. Others have had their own experiences with Toast and Yosemite.)

I'm still using Toast 10 (not Pro) with both Mavericks and Yosemite. There is mention of some incompatibility of some versions on their website, so I decided to stick with what works - when it no longer does, I'll update.
