How to get ISO file from a DVD

I have been using DiskUtilities in Mac OS to extract ISO from DVD's I got from library.
Now I ran into quite a few DVD's always failed at the end of extraction -- not being able to finish the ISO file.

What should I use, any free safe software I can use to Copy DVD to ISO ? I suspect the newer DVD's have some kind of security features preventing ISO extraction.

app offering page layout in PDF export from reeder mode (no cut images)

hi basically noscript says it all.
Always frustrating when wishing to save to PDF an article from the web only to have images of the article cut in two in overlapping pages.
Any way to kinda do some layout and to rearrange the images so that they fit on a single page ?

I’m looking for a simple app that I can set keyboard commands to trackpad gestures.

In Finder you can go back and forth in folders using keyboard commands. I want an app that will allow me to set those commands as swipe gestures.

I know BetterTouchTool does this but I’d really prefer something cheaper or free that isn’t as complicated.

Thanks r/macapps - your feedback made the Gubb app way better

Hey r/macapps! 👋

Just wanted to drop by with a quick appreciation post.

A little while ago I shared my note-taking app Gubb here and gave out some promo codes. The response was honestly way more than I expected - and the feedback was even better. A bunch of you pointed out quirks, tiny bugs, UI oddities, and features that were missing but would make the app feel more “Mac-native.”

So I took all of that, went heads-down for a week, and pushed an update based directly on what this sub suggested. 🙏

# What’s new (thanks to your comments):

🧠 Offline AI Trannoscription
One of the biggest asks here was: “Can we get voice-to-text without an API key?”
So now Gubb supports local AI models for trannoscription — everything happens on-device, no cloud, no data leaving the Mac.

🔤 Better Fonts & Readability
Multiple users mentioned readability issues. Added new font options and improved text rendering across notes & to-dos.

🖥️ System Tray Access
A small but heavily requested improvement - now you can keep it running quietly and open it instantly.

🪲 Bug Fixes
Clipboard quirks, timer visuals, numbered list formatting, some rendering issues - cleaned up.

⚡ Performance Boosts
Local audio processing is now smoother and the whole app feels snappier.

Not trying to promote anything aggressively here - mostly just wanted to circle back and genuinely thank this community. The quality of feedback from mac users is always on another level. 🙌

For anyone who wants to see the updated version, here’s the Mac App Store link:

And if you want to support the launch, we also just went live on Product Hunt:

(No pressure at all - just sharing for anyone interested.)



# Before I jump back into building:

What note-taking or productivity apps on macOS do you swear by?
And for those who tried Gubb already - what would you love to see next?

Always open to feedback - you all clearly know what makes a good Mac app. 🙌
