"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. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

The "viewer" is a progam on the original disk so it will be copied too. Is that what's called "ripping"? 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. |

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. |

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