Using only default/bundled OS X utilities, you could copy a home made (read: not copy-protected) DVD with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Disk Utility: Select disc volume in the left column
Disk Utility: File﹥New Image﹥Image from “RECITALS” (or whatever you disc name is)
Disk Utility: … Save disk image file, Format DVD/CD master, Encryption None
… Reading and saving takes a few minutes, depending on the drive and connection.
Then burn back to a new disc:
To burn a disc image (.cdr or .dmg file) to a disc, Control-click the disc image file in Finder, choose “Burn Disc Image [disc name] to Disc” from the contextual menu, then follow the instructions.
