I have a dual 1.8 GHz G5.
No additional software yet
other than the iLIFE package.

Someone sent me a DVD+R
and I want to copy that onto
a DVD-R.

Is there any way to do that
using only what god gave the G5?

thanks.

what is on the dvd+r. if its a dvd movie best way would be to use dvdback up then use toast to burn the back up. if its data well thats simple enough. tell us what is on the dvd so it will be easier to give solutions.

home-made digital video,
burned with a menu like
basic DVD Studio Pro or
maybe a similar PC program.

so it's not just quicktime
files of DV but an actual
DVD presentation.

sounds like i need additional
software to do this?

also the software forums might be a little more helpful for this.
