Andrew,
Bit unshore what you are referencing, for copying/backup a CD/DvD I use
Apples Disk Utility works a treat. If you are backing-up to a dvd then
just pop the dvd in and drop files into its icon on desktop drag to bin
or right click and burn, if you need files compressed I use Stuffits
Archive.
If you are wanting to copy movies , then their are many ways of doing
this as it depends on the burner you have i.e. DL or a standard Apple,
if you want DivX files, or a direct copy, remembering most movies are
DL and a bit.
Forty-TwoDVDMP-Plus or its partner Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus do a fine job
but $$ ???
If you have X11 installed have a look at X-CD-Roast again depends on
type of burner, but a GNU License.
Mac OS X can rip vob files and DVD SP can make a new disc but time =
what is DVD worth, $$ mmmm.
Music CD's are handled by iTunes very well, DvD's again ????
Remember copyright is not just for studios to make squillions. But, it
supports artists whom are trying to make a living from their talent;
more importantly protect their artwork be it physical or intellectual
from misappropriation.

Can anyone recommend an easy to use DVD backup program for OSX 10.3 I
use DVD Shrink on WinXP but have no DVD burner only copying to hard
drive. I would like to use something similar on the Mac - preferably
freeware. I have done Google search, but don;t know good from bad and
would appreciate advice.
