Creating ISO’s on Mac

How to create an ISO image from a CD on a Mac:

  1. Insert the CD, and open Terminal
  2. Find the mount point
    #~> mount
    /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
    map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
    map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
    /dev/disk1s0 on /Volumes/CDImage (cd9660, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners)
  3. Unmount the disk
    #~> diskutil unmountDisk disk1
    Unmount of all volumes on disk1 was successful
  4. Use dd to create the ISO
    #~> dd if=/dev/disk1 of=cdimage.iso
