You need to make a Burn Folder, and then click on Burn once your files are in the folder.

Or put in a blank DVD and have it "Open in Finder," then just drag what files you want to copy over to the disc. Open the disc, then click the Burn button.
Or, if you want more control, you can purchase Toast.

Check out VideoHelp.com. There's information there on how to back up your "home DVDs".

I could be wrong, but I dont think iDVD lets you copy DVD's...you may have to buy additional software if you want to copy DVD's.

Yeap, and if you wanted to make a backup copies of your data files (non-movie).
