DVD transfer on MAC - 01-20-2010, 10:27 AM


I have some old VHS that i transfered to DVD on a machine made for that. The DVD will play on my MAC and I have tried to copy the DVD to another DVD but the new DVDs will not play on the MAC or on DVD player...I followed the directions I found in the "help section" of the MAC--it had me copy the disc image in Disc Utility and then burn the DVD...i think the file type comes up as a dmg...??

Is there another way to do this that I am missing? I was told you could do this with the MAC and that was a major selling point for me!! Thanks!!

I highly recommend the "Toast" application from the same people that make Roxio software for the PC. It will take all the worry out of operations like this.

You may want to check out "Mac the Ripper."

Mac the ripper is good if you're trying to get around encryption on commercial DVDs (which I would never suggest unless you're backing up your media for safety), but for regular copying in the free arena, I'd also suggest Handbrake:

HandBrake

Yes, I've used handbrake a bunch and it should solve all your problems.
