1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 What programs does he have? Does he just want to make a straight dub of an existing DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he just want to make a straight dub of an existing DVD? I believe so.... He has an iMAC and paid $300 for a DVD burner but can't figure out how to copy a DVD. I don't know what software, if any, he has on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 The burner probably came bundled with a burner program. (For $300 it better have!) I use Macs at work and they have Roxio Toast Lite to burn discs. We need to know what program he has on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested Toast a long time ago, I don't thnk that's what he has, because he said he didn't want to buy it. I would expect it came bundled, also.

NeilPeartFan2112 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I have a MAC and I don't have a DVD burner, let alone a CD burner. I feel so left out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 No matter what program he has, it should be as easy as selecting "Copy Disk," putting the original DVD into the drive and loading the data into memory, then the drive would spit the original out and ask for a blank, and that's it. These programs pretty much hold your hand and tell you what to do next. What he does need to know beforehand is disk burning speeds. Some older DVD burners only burn at 1x, some go to 4x. Newer ones go up to 8x. But the blank media has to match the drive's burn speed capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I didn't think burning discs was that hard. Is it harder than I think it is? I have done it at my friends and it seemed pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney_rebel Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 The HP 8x DVD+Rs I buy can burn at 16x. When I load up any burning software, it allows me to burn at that speed. It's not recommended though. I burn at 12x and it seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Jeff, you didn't have to start this thread just for me. The iMac doesn't have an external DVD burner, and it only has one disc drive. We just paid $300 orr $400 extra so the disc drive could burn DVDs as well. The only media software we have is the iLife package that includes iTunes, iFilm, and iDVD. I've tried messing around in iDVD, but it only takes PAL and NTSC files and I have the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS files copied onto the hard drive but their not PAL or NTSC. I've heard people say DVDShrink and DVDDecryptor are good, but those only work on Windows as far as I know. Nero is supposedly the best one but it's probably really expensive.

I have used DVD shrink and its really good...I have no clue what kinda of program you should use for Mac....see thats the thing about Mac...about the selection of programs and its pretty slim to find stuff for mac....at least more stuff is coming out for Mac these days...
