• 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.

iDVD is great for burning movies created with iMovie and for albums from iPhoto, but not for much else.

What do you want to burn? If you simply want to burn a data DVD, then right click on your desktop and select "New Burn folder" and then just drag files into that folder and when you're done hit the Burn button. If you're trying to burn music, then create a new playlist in iTunes, drag the songs you want, and then hit the burn button. If you want to do anything else, then you'll need a full fledged burning program like Burn (free) or Toast (not so free).

One last question. Which Macbook do you have? If you have the one without a Superdrive, then all the above is moot as the base Macbooks don't have DVD burning capabilities.
