I have a dvd created on a windows machine that I need to duplicate. It plays when I put it in my iMac, but I've tried several times to create a copy from a burn folder without success. The copy does not play. Any suggestions?

I would double check what format the source DVD is, the copy DVD is, and what the optical drive in your iMac can read/burn.

This sort of stuff:;)

You need to use Disk Utility to make a Disc(New) Image of the dvd, and then use Disk Utility to burn a new dvd using that image.
