URGENT copying a dvd

I have a dvd that my friend made for me quite proffesionally and i now need 50 copies for monday! I've downloaded so much software but its all just trial versions.

Basically i need a free ripper and burner or preferably a cloning suite.

any suggestions?

All help appreciated!!

    50 copies for Monday? Why not use the Copy Disc function in Nero. Copy it to an image on the HDD and then create your disc from there.

    Since it doesn't have copy protection, it shouldn't be a problem.

    if the disk is a single layer dvd created in a none profsional authoring way you should be able to just do a standard disk copy as you are making multiple coppies use any cd copying software nero alcohol what eer and make an image and just burn coppies off from that. no need to decrypt or reauthor or shrink its already ona 4.7GB disk.

    Donnie and Little John have the right idea.
