Re: Copying DVD on iMac
I don't know if that would be necessary. Did you make the DVD yourself?
Shouldn't you just be able to copy the files to your computer, and then to a disc?

Yeah, if it is a personal DVD without Macrovision protection you should be able to just make a disk image of it and the burn copies of the image . . . using Disk Utility or duplicate it with Toast or some such . . .

Re: Copying DVD on iMac
If it's a home grown DVD, done with non-commercial software, then you can make a disk image of it using Disk Utility and burn the image to a new DVD. Or you can use ffmpegX to copy the files or reimport into iDVD and do it that way.
Or if you have Toast you can drag it onto Toast to burn a new copy. I would still recommend that you make a disk image of it first. You will need the DVD drive to burn.
