Jim, do you still have the miniDV player? What kind of digital output does it have? Are you sure the DVD copies are bit-for-bit?

Now that I have the DVDs, I'm looking for a method to make bit-for-bit copies of them. I have no rights management to deal with. I need 3-5 copies of each program. My goal is not add a generation of data compression, without the need to make a transfer from the master for for each copy.
