2010-02-16 Thread Jim Fettgather
Hi to the list. I wonder if there is a way, using Snow Leopard, or perhaps another program, to create duplicates of a non-commercial DVD? I have looked around within the operating system, but have not found any specific information as to whether this is possible. Thanks for any suggestions. --

I gave this a quick try and I do not feel it is worth $30. This of course is just my opinion, but of course only the individual can determine the value. It does a good job, but I think you can achieve similar results if you mess around with the EQ settings in iTunes. On Feb 16, 2010, at

I played with it a bit. It was hard to make a quality judgment since the primary difference was loudness. I wanted to flip back and forth to hear any real changes but had to turn down the volume with Bongio enabled. By the time I did that it was hard to recall exactly if it was better. CB

When you create the new image in the same dialogue box where you give it a file name you should also be able to choose an image format. I would guess the best format would be DVD/CD Master. Then use that image to burn the copy. At least I think that's how I did it last time I copied a
