To create/manipulate disk images in the terminal, use the hdiutil command. For full details, type:
man hdiutil
Hope that helps.
not really
but thanks anyway
under linux it was working with
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/directory/name.iso
that line made perfect images of any cd
if i type that in the terminal i get a new file with the name i choose
but not an image, the new file as only a couple of bites size
any ideas

If you want a quick answer, I’d suggest posting on:

That’s the best site for this type of query.
Good luck.

Create an exact duplicate of a CD from the command line

is that what you’re looking for?

looks like that would work.
Myself, I would use a DMG if I only need it in OS X. You can create a compressed DMG that would be much smaller than the image. Toast also works; some place the .iso in a compressed DMG to create the smallest possible file.
works perfect, thanks a lot
images created with dd work as virtual cds for all operating systems,
those created with toast or other tools often have problems
