Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to make a duplicate copy of my OSX install DVDs. I seem to remember an app out there (crilly?) that would do this. Will Disk Utility allow me to make DVD image that will burn as a bootable DVD?

I'm doing some traveling and like to have the install disks handy just incase. It would be nice to have a second travel version of the DVDs.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's totally possible with Disk Utility, but in the latest Macs it's a 7GB dual-layer DVD that won't fit on a normal DVD-R disc. If your install disc is a single-layer disc, then you absolutely can copy it.
