A friend of mine made a DVD of a VHS movie of our wedding and my parent's 50th wedding renewal of vows.
both of my parents have now passed on and i wish to duplicate this DVD to give to my siblings as gifts.
i have a powerbook g4:15 and a G4 MMD dual ppc system, both with DVD writers.
what steps would i go through to duplicate this DVD?
thanks, in advance.
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Both systems OSX 10.4.11

You will need to use Disk Utility to create an image (DMG, but the extension may actually be img or cdr) file of the disc you want to copy.
Load the DVD and bring up Disk Utility.
Select the DVD drive in the volumes and drives window, then click the "New Image+" icon.
You will get a Save As... dialog with some options. You should select "CD/DVD master" in the "Image Format" pop-up menu and "none" for the "Encryption" popup.
Name the file and select the directory you want to save it in, then click the "Save" button and you should then see a progress window in the finder as the image file is created. Note that you will need at least as much free disk space as the size of the disk you are imaging. The disk image file will be shown below the line in the Drives/Volumes listing.
Now, to burn a new disc, you select the image file in Disk Utility, click the burn icon, load a disc and wait for the burn dialog to appear once the disk is recognized. Make your desired speed selection and click the "Burn" button and you are on your way. Repeat until the siblings are all accounted for.
