Duplicating DVDs

[Glenna Rose]

I have three DVDs (created about a month ago) which I want to
duplicate before giving them to the intended person. Each contains
about one hour worth of video.

Since Disk Utility is the program specified in the Help menu to use
for this purpose, I followed the instructions listed there,
specifically:

> > > > >

To duplicate a CD or DVD:

Insert the CD or DVD disc in the optical drive, and select it in Disk
Utility’s list of disks and volumes.

Choose File > New > “Disk Image from [name of disc].”

Type a name for the disk image.

Choose “compressed” or “read-only” from the Image Format pop-up menu.

* * * AT THIS POINT, I CHOSE "READ-ONLY" * * * *

Choose “compressed” to create a smaller disk image, and choose “read-
only” to create a disk image that’s quicker to create and open.

Click Save.

After Disk Utility creates the disk image, eject the original CD or
DVD.

Select the disk image in the list of disks and volumes, and choose
Images > Burn.

When the Burn Disc dialog appears, insert a blank CD or DVD, and then
click Burn.

I recently used Disk Utility and duplicated a DVD, but that was done
at the Apple Store with an instructor. Memory tells me this is how we
did it, but it may have been "compressed" we chose; it was also a much
shorter in time DVD.

So, before I ruin another DVD to prematurely wind up in the landfill,
what should I have done to duplicate this DVD?

Thank you for any help you can give.

Thank you. It worked, at least once. :-)
