• 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.

Hi all. I downloaded some videos from YouTube, and imported some to my MacBook from my Camcorder. That process worked fine. I had videos, and my homemade movies on my computer. Then I proceeded to burn them on the disc. They burnt fine. Then I put the disc in my DVD player to test the quality and it was terrible. So bad I couldn't watch it and you couldn't tell what was on screen. Why is this?

What did you burn the movies with and what settings were used?
