Default "Image" Copy of DVD???

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"?

Thanks.

Why not just copy the whole DVD to another DVD-R[W]? The doc will use
his own DICOM-capable viewer. Or have the 2nd doc's office get the
images from the 1st doc's office. You or your insurance paid for those
images so they are not the property of any doctor. You may have to sign
a release form with the 2nd doc that they can present to the 1st doc to
obtain what is probably designated as privileged information (although
you may have already signed such a release form with the 1st doc).

Or just inform the provider of the DVD that it was lost and ask for
another. It's would be very unlikely that the only record of the MRI was
on that DVD.

You don't need an image, just copy it. The "viewer" is a progam on the
original disk so it will be copied too.

No.

I assume the machine only has a single DVD drive. To avoid problems and
to keep a permanent copy, create an .iso image then burn that to DVD. Do
a search for utilities to do this if not already available in windows 8,
there are free ones out there.

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.

That's what I'm looking for! Thanks.
