copy a DVD with a mac question

[Jay Rodriguez]

Sup guys,
I have a burned DVD that I need to copy (not pirating anything) but not sure how to do it.

Is there a program that comes with the mac that I can use to copy/burn a dvd?

Thanks

If your looking to just extract the video from the dvd, search for a program called HandBrake.

If your looking to copy the entire dvd, use MacTheRipper.

I'm a total idiot when it come to burning dvd's as I've yet to burn my first one... lol

So can I use mactheripper to make another dvd from the first?

Easiest way- (If you have 2 DVD Drives)
1. Insert the DVD you want to copy into drive one, and a blank DVD into drive two.
2. Open up Toast Titanium, and do a disk copy.

Another easy way- (If you only have one drive, and some time)
1. Insert the DVD into the computer.
2. Open up Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility)
3a. On OS 10.3- go to Images/New/Image from (Name of DVD)
3b. On OS 10.4- go to File/New/Image from (Name of DVD)
4. Select a location to save it. Make sure that the type is read-only.
5. Go get a cup of coffee while it copies the disk.
6. When is it done mount the disk image, (double click on the file.)
7. Using Toast, or another program, burn the mounted image to a blank DVD.
