and give them to her.
I have a DVD of my daughter and her cousins and would like to make a copy for the mother of the cousins.
Is there an easy, simple software for this? I would prefer something free.
Thanks.

It depends on what is on the DVD if copying the files to a flash drive leads to something that works.
If not, try CDBURNERXP (free download) - assuming your computer has a DVD-burner.

Download and run the free software at the link below. Once that's done, assuming you have a DVD burner on your computer, place the current DVD in the drive, then start the IMGBurn program, then select "Create Image file from disc", then allow it to create an .ISO file from the DVD. When it's finished, remove the current DVD and place a blank DVD+R disc in the drive, open the IMGBurn program again, select "Write image file to disc", find the location where the .ISO file has been placed and allow the the program to burn the DVD.

Wow Grif, that sounds easy and sounds like what I need. But there are so many ads on this page that take you to other sites, I can't figure out what to click on to download the software - http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download#top
Nervous about clicking the wrong thing!
BTW, The DVD contains home films of our daughters.
choose a mirror and click on it , a pop up will ask whether to Run or Save this.....
OR
You can go to ninite.com and download it free with no addons and its fast
Digger
It immediately opens the SetupImgburn2.5.8.0.exe download dialogue.. Or to be completely safe, click on the Ninite link below, select the "IMGBurn" box under "Utilities", then click on the 'Get Installer". This particular website is a little better at providing installers which don't have the extra adware included.

Hope this helps.

I have tried to download ImgBurn from both sites and it has failed. AVG gives message malsign.candy.
Here's why I use Ninite but first, http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/21631-to-those-who-are-unhappy-about-2580-being-bundled-with-opencandy/ repeats how to get around all that.
But for those that don't want to work at it and for many other reasons, use NINITE. Here's why:
