Hi

I'm after suggestions on good value DVD burning program.

I have 20" iMac intel.

I would like to burn DVD's to play on my Xbox, I don't have any other DVD player.

The files I have are VOB and would like to just burn to DVD and play like any other DVD's, not really into modifying them just copy and play.

Thanks in advance

Greg

It wont open VOB files you have to import from imovie after you share the media but it down sizes the file.

I see. I never used iDVD (never will, since I only have a combo drive)

My mistake. I can look for a couple that look useful.

Will they open .vob files, though?

Click to expand...

They will burn from VIDEO_TS folders, so I really don't see why not. I could be wrong though.

Some of the sites I pulled up from a quick google search said you needed the IFO and BUP files as well though. They all mention Nero, and Toast can do everything that Nero can do.

You can always convert the files with iskysoft video converter for mac. This allows you to burn any type of video file to DVD utilizing popcorn or toast.
