[X4U] Copy of DVD with write protect

Hello Everyone,

I have a friend who has a car with a navigation system that uses a DVD.

Legalities aside, he wants to make a backup copy in case his current  
DVD gets damaged. The DVD's go for about $185 each!

He's tried it on his PC, but the copy protect system on it won't let  
him. I have no other details.

I'm thinking that perhaps I could copy it using Toast. Since it's a  
PC DVD, Toast and the Mac will recognize it (I think?), but won't be  
able to "play" it.

So perhaps the copy protect thingy will just be bypassed?

What does everyone think?

David
