How to make copies of existing DVD's

I have a iMac 21.5 with OS 10.6.8. Many people send me DVD's that have been created on their PC's. These files ARE NOT COPYRIGHT and are mainly old record files of events. Some are copies of home movies that have been created from VHS to 2 hour DVD's. I don't want to download to my harddrive, and then copy if possible.
Some are still vintage photo files, again NOT COPYRIGHTED, but large size.
I can read and see all, and now want to share the same with my comments added. HOW DO I MAKE A COPY OF THESE DVD'S directly to a new DVD so I can send on to other friends?
Do I need to buy a DVD BURNER so I can copy the data to new DVD's and DVD-R's?
Same question for large photo files that I have received in a memory stick format. Thank you.

Are these videos copyrighted?
Just kidding, no one here would ever assume otherwise.
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

How to make duplicates of a DVD-R I made?

I have a new 24" iMac and am trying to make copies of a DVD I personally made. It's on a DVD-R disc and whenever I've tried making a burn file, or another file to copy it into from the DVD inserted in the machine it seems to be only copying an alias into the destination file. I would like to d/l this onto my hard drive so that I can burn copies as my customers order them - one of the primary reasons I upgraded from my older Mac.
When I look at the "permissions" it says I have read-only permission which simply isn't true. I understand the net-wide concern over duplicating copyrighted material but that's not the case here. I personally made this instructional DVD and had it burned by a buddy with a Windows machine, then have been making copies regularly in batches at his house. I bought the iMac so I would have a machine powerful enough to do it myself. Anyhow, when I make copies with his machine I simply pop the master in one drive and a blank DVD into another drive and hit copy and it makes me another one.
So. Clearly the problem here is that the iMac thinks I have only read-only permission. What to do?? For the record, I am the original creator of every scrap of this instructional video and I've sold nearly 50 of them already, so no funny business going on. If it matters, I also have a master in +R format but nobody's ever requested it.
Thanks in advance,
DougM

Unfortunately, when I followed the link it states
that will only work if the disc was made with iDVD or
another program.
That simply means you can't use the listed method to copy a copy-protected DVD.
What the article has you do is use Apple's Disk Utility application to create a disk image as a 'master disc' that can be used with Disk Utility to make copies on a Mac. That's how it's done on a Mac.

How to make project across two DVDs with one DVD menu

Hi!
I’m working on a large project (3 hours of video with about 10 chapters, over 50 pictures in a playlist, and special feature chapter) and wondering is it possible to make an project across 2 or more DVDs, but to have menu only on first one? I’d like to make an project that comes with menu only on first DVD and when you click on e.g. “special features” button, then you get the message “please insert DVD 2″
Is it possible and how to make something like that?
Thank you!

I would have EACH DVD begin with a menu. Somebody will insert DVD 2 first no matter how you label things.
Yes, you are right! People just don't want to read, but I'm making an animated menu in AE and it'll take about 300MB (rendered in .mpg). That is what I want to avoid on other DVDs to save some space. You just gave me an idea so I'll make some small menu for other one or two DVDs with just a few informations about what DVD is inserted and what DVD you need to insert if you want to watch something else from that project. Thank you!
I just have to learn better Encore and its capabilities and limitations (if I have time )

How to make copies of cds?

Hi,
How do I make copies of cds in tiger?
Do I need some 3rd party software?
Thanks.

Hi Baltwo,
AFAIK there is one possibility to burn bootable CDs in Tiger, shareware called:
Clone X2, try here http://www.tri-edre.com/english/cloner.html
There was also a freeware solution, BootCD but effectively I don't think it's compatible with Tiger yet, just keep checking because they will probably release an update.

Best Way to Make Copies of My DVD Movies

Over time, I have accumulated 100's of DVD's of my favorite movies. Some are "old" and are showing their age becasue I lend them to friends and family.
What method(s) can you suggest that I use to make duplicate DVD's so I can keep the originals in their cases? Will Toast 8 do the trick? I have an external DVD burner that I connect to my Mac Book Pro to copy my application CD's.
TIA

Toast 8 will not, by itself, allow you to make backup copies of your DVDs. Commercial DVDs are copy protected, and the newer movies are especially hard to backup because of sophisticated schemes. You will need a program to remove the copy protection first, and then Toast can compress (if needed) and burn the copy to a DVD-R. The best program to do this currently is called MacTheRipper. But be warned, using a program like MacTheRipper is technically illegal according to the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA
There is a raging debate over whether it is legal to make archival copies for personal use but the DMCA seems to make the distribution and use of programs like MacTheRipper illegal.
Another solution lets you play copies of your DVDs on your computer and preserves all the copy protection by making a disk image of the original DVD. This program has been released in beta form by the Flip4Mac people and is called Drive-In. You cannot burn an archival copy with this software, however. You can only play it on your computer.

How to make a self-playing DVD from FCP project of 75 minute film.

A Quicktime film has been made in Final Cut. It is about an hour and 15 minutes long. It needs to end up on a self-playing DVD.
Maybe this is a question for the FCP boards (or for DVD SP, which I don't know well): What's the approach to get this project to DVD?---having it look best on the DVD. Are there compression best practices?

Or you may be able to make a Kiosk mode DVD from a QT file / folder using iDVD. (btw ...I've done this successfully thru iDVD6 but I have not yet tried it under iDVD08):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4764361&#4764361
Please note that this approach is the only way I know of to make a DVD (w/in iDVD) that plays by itself and with no menu whatsoever. Hence the DVD will always play in a continuous loop until you press stop or eject on the remote. Or if you prefer you can also use Roxio Toast which has a similar feature.

How to make High Quality HD DVDs from iMovie11 Toast 10 Titanium Pro?

I was searching all over the net to find answers to a problem that I have with film making at home. I'm trying to become an Indie film maker on a small amount of money to start out, so to speak. I've asked Apple over and over for some help, but they say - we can't because we don't support third party solutions. I have iMovie 11 and iMovie HD 6. I use AVCHD 1080i camcorders and a GoPro HD Hero for time lapse shots. Toast 10 Titanium Pro and a external LaCie d2 Blu-ray Drive also external hard drives. I'm trying to make high quality HD dvd's and then Blu-ray disks later also for my ( high elevation mountain video) demos. Codec/compression - bit rate/data rate - key frame - sample rate and what software to use or not is all confusing me. I've tried and I'm still not making video that looks as good as it did when first imported into iMovie. Can anyone please help me out with this mater. Thank You Good Day

Good FAQ type information [is at this link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2424451]
In general, import to iMovie in FULL, not LARGE.
Export from iMovie using the SHARE menu. Use the 1080P Preset. You can SHARE/iTUNES, SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER, SHARE/MOVIE..., or FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT. All will use the 1080P preset.
You can also SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME, but I would not recommend it unless you know what you are doing.
Drag this file into TOAST 10 with BluRay plugin.
Check FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES in TOAST to make sure you are burning at highest quality.

How to make a Recovery Image DVD for my Satellite A200-1GB?

Hi Experts,
As I have wrote before I divided my HDD 2nd partitions in to 2partitions.
Now I want to make a recovery DVD except the manufacturer provided DVD.
The reason I want that is the USER MANUAL says when we are restoring by the manufacturer Provided DVD it will FORMAT all the Partitions and revert the HDD to original state (When it come it has two partitions).
So now I'm trying to make a Recovery DVD to recover the notebook with out FORMATTING the second partitions.
I just want to format only the C drive and install the Vista OS and other manufacturer provided software.
Then the other drives will be safe and the data on those partitions will be safe.
I kindly request you to help me on this.
It's better if anybody can give me the instructions for that operation.
Thanks !!!! :8}

Hello
It is pretty easy but you need right and Vista compatible program. I use WXP Norton Ghost but on this page you can find useful info about latest and Vista compatible version.
I will obtain the same for me. It is very good program and I can really recommend Norton Ghost.

How to make file playable on DVD-player

Hello all,
I am new to Premiere Pro CS4. I have to make a videofile of approximately 13 minutes, which is playable on a DVD-player (type LG DV9900). The source format is 1440x1080p, and I really wish to keep this quality. There will be no sound or music whatsoever.
Could someone help me to choose the correct videoformat. I would also like to have a good fps (to assure a smooth image). The videofile has to fit onto a regular DVD (4,7GB). At this moment I have a .wmv-videofile in good quality (438mb with fps 50), but unfortunately my DVD-player won't play it.
I already tried it with .avi (Divx codec), but then the file is WAY to large.
Please help as it is quite urgent, trade fair is about to begin on monday :).
Thanks
Oliver

On a related note, would this setting be good if you wish to play the video on a DVD player with upscale capabilities?
I have a 20 minute video that was shot at 1920 X 1080. I'd like to encode the video with the highest settings that a DVD can handle. I figured a upscaling DVD player may require that the DVD be encoded in a special way - or maybe not.
Can anyone help me determine what settings I should encode my video onto a DVD?
thanks!
