 By using "Disk Utility", an application available on Mac OS X's Utilities folder, you can create copies of CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs easily. Just follow these instructions:

Warning! The following steps will not work if you're trying to copy discs with protected content, like DVD movies or audio CDs.

 1- Open Disk Utility, located in the Utilities folder inside Applications folder.

 

 

2- Insert a CD or DVD disc in your computer's drive and select it on the discs and volumes list on Disk Utility's window (on the left).

3- Click on the "New Image" icon (the second from left to right, on the upper part of the window).

4- Type a name for the disc image. Make sure the "compressed" format is selected, and choose "none" on "encryption".

5- Click on the "Save" button.

6- When the disc image creation is finished, eject the original CD/DVD.

7- Select the new disc image on Disk Utility's discs and volumes list, and then click on the "Burn" icon.

8- A popup window will appear on the screen. Insert a blank CD or DVD and click on the "Burn" button. That's all!
