dvd to dvd is there a simple way?
I have a homemade dvd of camp-out movies that my folks took years ago and put them on a dvd. I need to make copies for my brother and sisters. I've tried dragging the video-ts folder to the blank disk and burning it, but it won't play in a standard dvd player? I used to do it in toast but sold the program months ago. Is there a way to do this in the finder using disk utility? Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to do this in the finder using disk utility? Thanks in advance. Jeff Jeff Engle kamiah idaho 83536 Yes, there is, and it's pretty easy. First, you need to open up Disk Utility. On the left sidebar, you'll see your devices list. Select the DVD you want to make a copy of, and then go to File New... Disk Image from your device name. Change Image Format to DVD/CD Master, and leave Encryption on none. Pick an appropriate location to save. Once you've done that and it finishes creating your disk image, you can right-click it or control-click it in Finder and open it up in Disk Utility, or go to File Open Disk Image. This may mount it, but it will also place it in the left sidebar of Disk Utility. Once it's there, you can select it, and click Burn on the top of the Disk Utility window. Then burn as many copies as you want. I hope that helps!

Copies with a single drive would be a pain. An alternate solution would be fire up another Mac in Target Disk mode and use the Firewire cable to use the other Macs drive for dual drive direct copies. By the way, whenever I've needed an image of any disk, I've always been skeptical of Disk Utility and other programs because they used to screw up images of bootable Mac installer CDs and DVDs so that copies made from these images were not bootable. I guess they may be better now, but I always used Terminal command line to create perfect, bootable .iso images of virtually anything. It's a bit-for-bit copy, with any DRM, or hidden anti-copy stuff still present.
