• 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.

Helloo,

I'm making someone a three-disc set of movies, one movie per disc, using iDVD on my boyfriend's MacBook- it doesn't have a Superdrive, so I want to burn it from my PC, so I'm saving it as a disc image and then converting it to an ISO. But I was just a bit confused about the way these disc images work- is the movie itself saved in the image along with the menus and stuff, or do I need to put the videos on my PC too, and if so, how would that work?

Thanks- sorry if I'm being totally dense...

The disc image should contain the entire content of the disc. So, all you would need to do is create a disc image on the Mac, convert it to ISO and then copy it over to your PC. Once that's done, just open the ISO in your favorite burning application and let it burn.
