How to copy to DVD disk

I have searched through the forums, read many other related posts related to this subject, and studied the manuals and tutorials, however I have not been able to figure out how to do the basic DVD burning. I apologize if this seems to be a simple task to many of you.
I would like to copy You Tube videos to DVD. These are instructional videos, such as how to make sushi, and the like. I'd like to record various episodes on disks and categorize the contents, so I would have them readily available.
I would also like to copy my bookmark menu to DVD.
Basically, I just want to know how to burn DVD disks for various purposes.
I have a iMac, Snow Leopard OS, and have DVD-R.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Here's one method you could use.
Download and install the free software ImgBurn.
The easiest way to then copy a DVD to a blank DVD is as follows.
1. Create a Disc Image file of the DVD you wish to copy on your PC - a guide to doing this is Here.
2. Write this Disc Image to your blank DVD - a guide to this is Here.

How to remove a DVD disk image I can't see

Disk Utility shows a DVD that I used some time ago to copy some files. The only place it shows up is in Disk Utility. DU says it is waiting for a disk to be inserted but the disk was posted to a client. How can I get rid of it?

Okay. Now this is embarrassing. The DVD I referred to is also in your screenshot: Matshita DVD-R UJ-85J! Which presumably means it's part of the OS and meant to be there? But what is it? In my defence I've never noticed it before. (Be gentle I feel silly enough already.)
Well, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words
Yep, that's your DVD drive.

How to copy from DVD

Hi.
I have a dvd which contain my friend's wedding movies. The problem is that everytime I played it on the DVD player, it gets stuck and said 'skipping damaged area'. But when I played on an actual player on the tv, everything's fine. Recently my friend asked me to edit the video so I wanted to copy the files to my hd.
But it has two different files, Audio_TS and Video_TS. In the audio file, there's no sub-files. I've tried copying both of the files but it doesn't work. And I've tried ripping it by using iSkysoft DVD Ripper, but when it's finished, the audio's missing.
How can I solve this matter? I would really appreciate the help.

Welcome to the forums!
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

How to make a DVD disk image to be burned from a PC?

I need to make a DVD with DVD-SP, save a disc image, upload it have someone on a PC download it and burn it.
Is this possible? Anybody been succesful at this?
thanks

If they have a burning program that recognizes VIDEO_TS files, no problem.
You need to remove two files from VIDEO_TS first called .LAY and .LAYOUT. They are only required by DVD SP and not the final disc.
To be safe make a top level folder called NAME_OF_FILM (max 32 characters) and put VIDEO_TS in there together with an empty folder named AUDIO_TS.
Actually, DVD SP should generate this for you it will be where ever the Build folder is set to be saved in Preferences.
Don't make a Mac disk image. PCs can't read them. A .zip file or ISO (Toast makes them) is probably better.

How to copy DVD

After searching the forum, I can't get a clear sense of how to copy a dvd I made with iMovie and iDVD on my wife's MacBook. I made a two DVD's on her computer a couple of years ago before we got a Mac desktop. I would like to rip/copy/transfer (?) those dvd's onto the desktop and synch them to my iPod also. Our desktop is OS X 10.5.8.
Won't you please help the lost and deficient?

use 3rd party apps such as HandBrake or _*MPEG Streamclip*_.
both have presets for iPod and TV.

I assume you are trying to rip a home made DVD and not a commercial DVD. I know you have been told once about copying commercial DVDs and using this site for info on how to do it.
Here is a link to a site that explains the whole proccess.

I do not know how to use i dvd to burn a disk

I would like to make a copy of some of my dvd movies that I have and I do not know where to start. How do I import the movie to the computer and then burn it to a new disk? Thanks for any help I can get. I am new to mac and it has been a rough change for me. I am having trouble with a few of the features on this computer that were sale point when I bought it.

iDVD is for creating new DVDs with your digital movie clips from something like iMovie.
iDVD ISN'T a disk copying application.
If the DVDs you have are not commercial copy-protected DVDs you can use Apple's Disk Utility to copy them. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724 How to copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs
If the DVDs have your home movies on them, and you want to bring them in to iMovie for editing, you can use something like DVDxDV from http://www.dvdxdv.com/DVDxDV.overview.htm to extract the movies from the DVDs.

How do you create a disk image using Disk Copy?

Hello,
Is there any way you can create a disk image using Disc Copy? Is there a better way to create a Disk Image?
I would like to burn two copies of a 4.2 gig folder on my mac. I usually insert a blank DVD-R and then the mac asks if I would like to prepare it at which point I click "yes". An icon of a DVD disk appears on the desktop and then I drag my files onto this icon. It takes a few moments to create the disc image and then I click "burn". However, after the disc is burned the disc image disappears and I have to start all over again if I want to make another copy.
How can I save this disc image? If I could save the disc image, it would enable me to burn a second DVD right after the first without having to create the disk image all over again. This would save a lot if time.
I am using OS 10.1.5
Thank you for any suggestions

Thanks Niel for the info about creating a Disk Image with the Disk Copy utility in OS 10.1.5
That worked however when I insert a blank DVD-R, the disk image still has to be copied to the DVD-R buffer and then it can be burned. And so this doesn't really save any steps - the "copying into the buffer" step still has to occur whether or not you have created a disk image of your files. So creating a disk image doesn't really shorten the process of burning multiple copies of a DVD.
I will try to describe the steps more clearly:
Two of the three steps for creating a DVD (steps 2 and 3) are very time-consuming:
1. put blank DVD into the drive (a DVD disk icon quickly appears)
2. drag files onto this icon (this step takes a long time as the files are copied into the buffer)
3. choose "burn" (the actual burning also takes a long time)
I was hoping that when I create two or more DVDs of the same files, I could first create a Disk image so that when I create the second DVD, step 2 could be skipped. That does not seem to be the case - the disk image still has to be re-loaded. And so I think I will not bother with the Disk image idea - it doesn't seem to be necessary or helpful when burning DVDs to backup data.
Thanks for your suggestion.

How to copy 5 minhome video DVD clip on to Macbook Pro than make a DVD cop

???
Can not figure out how do take the DVD R which plays fine and load to my macbook pro hard drive...(computer is brand new) than want to make copies of the clip on blank DVDs with no editing... just a straight copy.
Thanks

knbcpab,
Is this a mini DVD-R, burned directly in a camcorder? If it is, Do Not Attempt To Put It In Your Macbook Pro's Optical Drive!!!.
Mini disks cannot be read by your Superdrive, and they will get stuck in it, perhaps damaging it in the process. Apple will not cover any such damage.
Disk Utility will image, then produce as many copies as you like. But, doing so with a mini disk will require that you use an external, tray-loading drive capable of handling the mini disk. Of course, you can use your Superdrive as long as the disk is full-sized. With the disk mounted, select it in Disk Utility and click the "New Image" icon in the Toolbar. You need to create a "DVD/CD Master" image.

How does one COPY a BluRay Disk

Woe is me! I have lost my original BluRay disk I produced in Encore some months ago. So I have borrowed a copy from a friend. How do I copy the BluRay disk?
Or can I open it in Encore?

Glad Imgburn worked with your BluRay... I use it for ALL of my disc writing with my DVD drive, but don't have a BluRay to test those functions
Read Bill Hunt on project setup http://forums.adobe.com/thread/919388?tstart=0
If you use his setup, it is easy to copy the entire project to a USB hard drive for backup... that is IF you decide to keep a project for future changes
