I have a DVD of a recent MRI and I want to make a copy to give to a
"second opinion" doc?

How do I do that? I think the DVD has it's own viewing program
installed, so I thought that if I could make an image of the DVD and
burn it to a new one, that would work?

Is that what's called "ripping"?

Why not just copy the whole DVD to another DVD-R[W]?

You mean file/folder by file/folder?

No, not like that at all. Just copy the whole thing in one shot. I use
ImgBurn, but there are plenty of others. Someone even pointed out that the
capability exists in Windows.

In ImgBurn, you'd use the option to "create image file from disc", remove
the DVD and insert a blank one, followed by the option to "write image file
to disc". Easy as pie, but not as tasty.
