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.

Thanks, I am a newcomer to Macs, and didn't think to look for a
separate utility for this task. I see it there.

When I get done with this Parallels session, I will try it. (Putting
in DVDs or plugging in my iPod with Parallels running gets confused).

For me, there is one more step - canceling out of the Mac DVD player
that starts up when I put in my DVD that I will want copied. Again,
that may be my ignorance as well.
