• 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.

Downloaded a copyright free movie and it was downloaded as an mp4 file that opens and runs fine in quick time. I'm trying to put it on a disk for backup and i cant seen to do this with either Apple Disk Utility or whatever i have. I'll just list what i have and maybe u can help weed through all of the programs that i just acquired. I want the best of the programs. I'm getting the newest os as we speak.

OS 10.4.1

Are you putting it on a DVD disk for later viewing in region-accepting home DVD players, or are you using this disk simply as a way to back it up?

If you're simply backing it up, you shouldn't have to do anything more than create a burn folder in finder and burn it.

If you're using a CD-R as a data disk, keep in mind that they typically only hold about 650MB of data, and most decent DVDrips average around 700MB.
