I've got a bunch of old CD and DVD game discs backed up as ISOs from a few years ago (good for backup and installing on systems without an ODD), but the third disc of one game didn't ever read (and thus couldn't be backed up) on the disc drives of my last two laptops. I think I used Power ISO at the time, but I might be wrong since it's been a few years. That disc finally reads on my desktop's BD-ROM, but I can't find a good program to make the ISO.
Anyway, as far as I can see now, Power ISO isn't going to work because the free version is limited to 300MB at one go. Any ideas of a good free program to get one disc backed up as an ISO?

Looks promising. I'll check it out in a couple hours when I get home. It's always such a pain digging through the rubbish shareware programs and paid advertisements when I try to search anything like this up, so I appreciate being able to get a good answer from the community here without having to wade through all the junk that's out there.
EDIT:
Can't get it running on Win 8 x64 - tried running as admin, running in compatibility modes, installing as admin, installing in a non-protected folder, no luck with magicdisc. I did, however, find out that the paid program is magiciso - the full-featured big brother of magicdisc, so that's cleared up. -

I got it to install under Windows 8 by disabling driver signature enforcement and running the install as administrator.

Maybe you could try DVD Decrypter? Personally, that's what I use, though I'm uncertain if it runs on Windows 8.

Hi OP. Not sure if this will satisfy your requirements but give it a look.

Thanks for the suggestions. I searched around on some reputable download sites last night and came up with AnyToISO. The free version was enough to do what I needed. Rep all around anyway for the help!
Quality Free ISO Ripper?
