Oh, and while I’m showing this, it’s worth mentioning that this is exactly how you copy a CD too, whether it’s a data CD or an audio CD. This process will take a wwhhhiiilllleeee… often an hour or more, during which you receive scant feedback other than the slowly filling progress bar:Įventually, though, that’ll be done too, Toast 7 Titanium will “bing!” happily, eject the blank disk and you should have a successful copy of your original master DVD disk. No need to press any buttons on most Macs as it’ll automatically detect it and start writing the data back onto the disk itself. The original DVD will have been ejected from your Mac, so you can simply put the recordable media on the tray or slip it into the drive. Now it looks like a successful copy, doesn’t it? Phew! Finally, though, it’ll complete and tell you: This can take a while as it copies the entire contents of the disk into a temporary storage area (which means you need at least 4GB of space on your hard disk to do this operation).

Yes, I know, it made me very anxious that I was going to overwrite the disc somehow, especially since the next thing you see sure makes it look like it’s going to try to burn the disk, not read it:Īgain click on RECORD (trust me, this’ll work) and you’ll now see that Toast 7 is indeed reading the disk, not trying to overwrite it: When you’re ready to start your copy, put the master DVD into the drive and click on the red record button.
