Creating an ISO
Insert your DVD and unmount:
- Open terminal, run
diskutil list
- Locate the disk identifier of your DVD (typically something like
disk1
) - Run
diskutil umount [DISK ID]
Use ddrescue to create an ISO (brew install ddrescue
if needed):
ddrescue -b 2048 -r4 -v /dev/[DISK ID] [output ISO path] [output log path]
Generating a single MP4 to represent all of the content on an ISO
- Open MakeMKV, and open your ISO
- Select your output directory, and click
Make MKV
- Move all resulting MKVs into a single directory
- Run dvd_concat.py on your directory
./dvd_concat.py -s [YOUR DIRECTORY] -d [output path for DVD]
- Rename MP4 according to NYPL convention, and delete all MKVs
