Hi,

I "switched" to an iMac last year, and have been making loads of DVDs with iMovie and iDVD.

My question is this : how do I duplicate one of my DVDs ? I delete my projects after I have finished burning them, and now I need to make a copy of one of my past "creations".

Is there an easy, Apple way of doing this, or do I need to go out and buy some additional software ? If so, what should I buy ?

Thanks in advance !

If you have toast, simply copy the video_ts and audio_ts folders and press burn dvd, make sure you own the copyright or whatever though. I don't know if it works, I have never done this, I usually just keep the iDVD project.

Again, if you have toast, you have the ability to copy a volume byte for byte, maybe that would work, since you are copying a 4.7 GB DVD to the same size DVD. Hope it works.

yep

see above.

unlike commercial DVDs, DVDs that you author have no problems with copy protection. Just copy as above.
