iMac ladies...How do I copy a DVD?
I am new to the Mac world and thought there would be a one click way to copy a dvd. i've looked online and have found the 10 step process going through the Disk Utility but once I copy the DVD on the computer it says that the blank disk isn't big enough. This is a completely blank disk. Is it because it's copywrite protected? i was just trying this for the first time so chose my son's "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie... There has got to be a way around this, right? Can someone please help? Also, I don't really want to take up space on my harddrive... is there a way to copy w/o keeping a copy on my harddrive? i tried the "erase" option in disk utility, but is didn't seem to remove it.Thank you!!!!

Are you sure you have a blank DVD and not a blank CD?
Some utilities will allow you to copy directly but you have to have 2 drives, one to read, and one to write. Also, it's risky, as the buffer may fail and if the input feed isn't fast enough, it can ruin your blank disk.
