Put the DVD in your drive. Open up Disk Copy Utility. Create New Image from Device. Save it someplace convenient, like your desktop. Eject the DVD. Then, still in Disk Copy utility, Burn Image. Find the image you just created and select it. Put in a blank DVD and burn away. sb On 11/24/02 7:30 AM, "jc" <jc at his.com> wrote: > I have a new G4 with the SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) and a home movie on > DVD that I would like to duplicate (home movies from 1936 put onto > Video tape and from there to a DVD disk by a commercial company).
