• 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.

Just curious-

Has anyone tried to run FCP on an ipad using a remote desktop app?
Any reviews on remote desktop in general?

Yeah, I have air display, and it's pretty cool. Of course, it's kinda different from a remote desktop since it works as an extended desktop.

I wouldn't want to do "real" editing on a remote desktop - especially on the iPad - screen realestate is just too small, and I've used a few remote desktop apps, the sluggishness overall really doesn't seem (to me) to make for a good way to edit video. JMHO.
