Using Disk Utility to make a copy of a DVD

[Gordon B. Alley]

Karl--

As you might expect, since you're going to be making a master image 
from which you are going to make copies, "DVD/CD Master" would be the 
option to choose.

It's been awhile since I've done this, which is why I forgot about 
this little detail.  :-)
