I have a dvd I made of my mother's memorial service several years ago. I used iDVD to create the disc. Now, I want to make copies by creating a disc image and burning copies for family. Because of an upgrade, I am now using Yosemite which does not have iDVD. How can I create a disc image so that I can make copies of the disc so that my family members can have copies?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I know how to burn the file to dvd. That cannot be played on a dvd player, however. My sister and brother do not have computers they can download the file to. It needs to be a disc image they can put into a dvd player. I made 2 copies when I'd initially made the DVD. I even made a disc image. But, earlier this year, my computer crashed and I was forced to upgrade to Yosemite. I lost the disc image when my computer crashed. I was hoping to recreate a disc image from the original DVD I'd burned.
Thanks
Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
Insert your disk & select File > 'New image from Folder…' Select the base of your DVD for the 'folder'.
Select somewhere to save the disk image & allow it it complete.
Disk Utility should have the results added to the sidebar as a .dmg, select that & burn it via the 'Images menu > Burn'.
IMPORTANT: Test your disk works in a DVD player.
Repeat the burn step for each copy you need.
Roxio Toast makes this a little simpler or you could use Burn or many of the disc burning apps in the App store too.
Its been awhile and I'm not sure it will run on yosemite but burn was a great program.
Thank you, Drew. I was able to get what I needed from a previous post. But, I will keep the links you gave me for further reference.
I appreciate your help.

I was able to get idvd up and running...although I'm sure I won't be able to use it as more upgrades come around. I will look into the link you gave me. Thank you.
Does iDVD help you make a copy? Do you have to recreate the DVD project again?
You are right about not trusting iDVD in the future, eventually an OS update will cause something to break, Toast or Burn have very basic DVD authoring with minimal menu controls, they can get the job done if you need to make a new DVD.
I did not have to recreate the project and I am able to make a disc image. Although making the disc image is taking an incredibly long time. I looked into Burn and not sure it will work with Yosemite. What I was finding says something like, "still works with Panther". Same with Toast. I'm seeing people having issues with Toast 12. There is now a 14. But I have still not discounted either program.
