Copying CDs or DVDs

You can create a copy of a CD or DVD, either to another disc or to an image file stored on your computer. To create a copy, perform the following steps:

  1. Insert the disc you want to copy.
  2. Choose Places ▸ Computer from the top panel menubar.
  3. Right-click on the CD icon, and choose Copy Disc.
  4. The Write to Disc dialog is displayed.

If you have only one drive with write capabilities, the process will first create a disc image file on your computer. It will then eject the original disk, and ask you to change it for a blank disk on which to write the copy.

If you want to create more than one copy, choose the Image File option on the Write to Disc and then write the disc image: see Section 6.10.3 ― Creating a Disc from an Image File.
