Changing the DVD-R format to re-burn Audio and Video_TS file

[Jedi27]

Hi,
I bought a PowerMACG4 last week which has the superdrive DVD burner in it. I created a DVD with IDVD and after erasing the footage and the project, realized I need another copy.

So, I copied the files from the DVD back to the MAC. Then I set the files to copy from the MAC to a blank DVD-R, BUT the format (when I right click and 'get info') of the DVD-R is: MAC OS X extended.

How do I change the format to Universal format, which is what happens to an authored and burned DVD-R?

Hope I make sense. This is killing me.

Cheers,
Jedi27

Make an image of the DVD using Toast or Disc Copy (found in Applications -> Utilities). Then burn this image using either one of those above programs.

Should work fine.

Jedi27,

I don't know that you can properly duplicate a video DVD-R using the procedure you've tried.

You can, however, duplicate one by using Apple's Disk Copy utility to create a DVD/CD Master disk image from your source DVD-R and then burning the image to another DVD-R with Disk Copy.

A detailed article about this procedure is available on Apple's support Web site.
