Noob question

Hey guys,

Hope you can help a former PC user. I have a promotional DVD that I use in my small business. I would like to burn copies using my powerbook. (It has the SuperDrive). I have tried saving the DVD to my Hard Drive then burning the files onto a DVD. Well all I get onto the DVD is you guessed it...The files. Is there anyway I can make copies of my DVD using only one DVD drive? On PC I used the Nero program and could make copies. Unfortunately those copies would not play on regular DVD players. Thanks guys.

Welcome to the forums!

One way is to use Disk Utility (under Applications>>Utilities) to create a New Image from the DVD. Then you can mount that image to the desktop and use the same Disk Utility to burn that image to as many times as you want.

There are other utilities like Toast that can do it a little more simply... But that is the quickest way I know of without using third party apps .

if its a video, and it probably is, use mac the ripper to rip, then burn in toast in the data tab as a udf, or use another app, even disk utility.

or do the first option which is free...
