Hi all. I am new to the Lion OS. I use to run tiger and it was so easy to copy a DVD. Now I'm kind of at a loss. Is there a quick and easy way to make a copy of the DVD keeping the menu and such intact?

I did make a copy of the disk to the HD I am wondering if I just put that on a blank if everything will be ok, or if there is something else I need to do. I've heard about software that copies the DVD for you and wonder if it's necessary or worth it. Any freeware our shareware out there?

What kind of DVDs are you trying to copy? The method will differ depending on the type of content.

This is something my dad gave me. Says it's for windows vista or xp. Some kind of program a friend loaned him.

Given that the disc was loaned to you and is a program, we can't discuss copying it. I'd suggest that your father simply purchase a copy of the software that his friend lent him.
