Multiple DVD burnings

[Nao]

I do not know if this issue has been posted and discussed in this group
community.
But, I'll explain my two concerns:1.I have successfuly made and burn the DVD
movies by using the MM2 and the "DVD Flick" free software. Now I want to make
multiple DVD discs to share the movies with my friends. What is the most
time-effective way to make the duplications? How can I utilize the set of the
encoded DVD files(.BUP, .IFO, .VOB, and the associated .txt files) saved in
my hard drive? The second question: During encoding and burnig process, the
ISO files are also created and saved in my hard drive. What is this ISO file
for and how can I utilize these files? I would appreciate it if anyone can
explain my concerns or suggest the good links to go to. Thanks.

An iso file is a compressed pack of the files on the DVD.... kind of like a
Zip file.

I use MyDVD Studio to copy the iso file to a DVD... it unpacks all the BUP,
IFO, VOB etc files from it and burns them to the disc. Not all DVD software
can do it from the iso. If yours can, it's the easiest way to get more
copies.

=============================================
The following freebie can create and burn ISO files.
A disk with an ISO file burned is a copy of the original.

Thanks, gentlemen, for your prompt reply.
Now I understand about the ISO files and what to do with them.
What about the set of the encoded DVD files VIDEO-TS(.BUP, .IFO, .VOB, and
all associated .txt files) left in my hard drive? Can they be used for
duplication later on ? If so, how? Otherwise, I'll delete them afterwards in
order to save some room
in the hard drive.

If the set is of the same content as the ISO and your DVD software can use
either one to burn a disc, your could delete one or the other.

If you have a disc-copy feature, you could delete both and make more DVDs
from a disc.
