[MacDV] Re: Using Disk Utility to make a copy of a DVD

[Karl Hayden]

Gordon,

Thanks for that.... I am just wondering... When I get to the stage of 
saving the 'Image' (when the window opens called "Convert Image") which 
of the 'Image Formats' should I use?

1: Read/Write
2: Read Only
3: Compressed
4: DVD/CD Master
