How do I make clone disc copies of CD, DVD Audio, Blu-ray audio discs....

[DWK]

I bought a music box-set that contains a number of discs (CD, DVD Audio, Blu-ray audio). To prevent damage to the originals, I would like to create 1:1 disc clones (as my personal copies, ie. not for resale) and play those instead of my originals. Some of these formats contain 24bit/96kHz uncompressed, 24bit/192kHz uncompressed, 24-bit/48 kHz uncompressed, Dolby Digital @448 kbps, Dolby Digital @640 kbps. Can someone direct me on how I can create exact 1:1 copies. Thanks.(I'm located in Canada)

All disc copies are made the same if you use the Read and Write modes of ImgBurn.  There are a few guides that you may find worth going over to answer your questions:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Concentrate primarily on the first Guide listed as that should cover almost everything.

Now, I've never copied a DVD Audio disc as I've never bought one, only created them myself, so I don't know if they're copy protected.  Same for Bu-Ray Audio, which I didn't even know existed.    I don't know if those are copy protected or not or if they can be.  If they are, then we can't help you copy copy protected discs.

Wait... aren't Audio CDs a special case? I mean, there's an entire procedure about how to carefully and reliably rip Audio CDs using specialised software like EAC (Exact Audio Copy)? Surely it isn't as simple as making ISO copies?

The above comment is strictly about Audio CDs which I think are somewhat different than standard data discs like CD-ROM or DVD-Video.

To copy CD Audio discs, you use the Read function as defined in the first link in the first Guide I pasted:
