• 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.

Greetings! I am a new user here, but a seasoned Apple person. I own three macs, a macbook pro, a quad core tower and an older tower.

I paid to have a VHS tape turned into a DVD. (Didn't use iDVD because I didn't have an old camera like this)

Now, I'd like to make copies of this DVD for family as a gift. This quad core has two DVD drives and I have super drive on this mac. I tried putting the content into ilife, but it says it can't load i Life. I downloaded DVD Creator, but that says that the file failed to load.

Any ideas? For cheap?
