Q: Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

Then you can use Disk Utility to burn additional copies of the disk image to disk: Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X
Note: to protect the laser in the optical drive give the drive a rest of about 15-20 minutes after every 3rd or 4th consecutive burn.

The steps you describe are what I did to get the original DVD copied to my computer. However, what is copied there separates into two files (audio and video files) as I stated above. Then, if I try to copy that copy to a new DVD, it copies as separated into the audio and video files, and can't be played. Do I need a separate program (such as one of those "DVD ripper" programs) to stop this from occuring? Does the iMovie on my original DVD need to be changed into an MP4 or other format before it can be copied as playable to a new DVD? That is what I am getting at.
Thanks,
Chris
