• 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....

New to this site and require some help please. I have passed over from the dark side and i am now a mac user :) my problem is with converting AVI to DVD format on my macbook, i always used WINAVI but this is not an option with the mac. I used it to convert my blu-ray Xvid (avi) to dvd so i could watch on my home player and with WINAVI it kept the 5.1 surround and fixed the ratio output.

Is there such a tool on the mac? i used some program called dvdpro i think it was called, it worked but the ratio and was terrible and it was only stereo sound and had no options to change settings :\

Please help! ;)

Welcome to the Mac Forums!

The open source application "Handbrake" can do the conversion. This LINK explains how to do it. Download handbrake from here.
