• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I'm thinking of getting a new CD burner (i can't burn discs on my current one - but that's another thread!) and I figure that I might as well get something that can burn and play DVDs. But I'm concerned that my relatively slow computer may not make it worth it. I've got an iMac G3 running at 400 mhz with about 640mb of RAM.

I plan on using it mostly for burning audio CDs and DVDs for storage. However, I've been dabbling in iMovie and would perhaps like to make slideshows and short films and maybe view some DVD's on the computer as well.

Is the old iMac up to the task?
