I created a DVD using a DVD+RW with my TV's DVD recorder (Copying my
laserdisc). I tested it, then put my DVD+RW in my Mac, and an empty
DVD-R in my Mad Dog. After I cancelled out of playing the movie, I tried
to find how to duplicate the DVD. I didn't see it, so I copied the files
within it and burned the disk.

Then I inserted the copy, but it didn't play.

This shouldn't be a protected disk. How should I have copied my DVD+RW?


I'm going here from memory but this essentially describes how to duplicate a
DVD using Disk Utility....

a) Insert the DVD

b) Open Disk Utility

c) From Disk Utility create a disk image of the DVD

d) Eject the DVD

e) From Disk Utility select Burn and then identify the disk utility as the
contents to burn.
