Hi all,
I'm a new switcher planning on purchasing a new G5. (I have an old G3 600 iMac right now) I've never used a DVD burner before (mac or pc), but a friend of mine has one on his pc and backing up his commercial DVDs isn't the easiest thing in the world. He had to buy DVD Xcopy to get it to copy without much headache. It takes about 90 minutes to copy a DVD and the computer is pretty much useless while this process is taking place.
I'm wondering if this process on the Mac will be any easier/less time consuming. Will I need to purchase 3rd party software? On average what kind of copy times could I expect from a 1.8G5 with 1GB of Ram. Will I be able to use my computer for other things while the copy is taking place (unlike my friends PC)?
Thanks in advance!!
