• 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.

I made a DVD of a slideshow that was in .wmv format. In the middle it said if I didn't purchase the upgrade there would be a watermark. I didn't realize this was a voiceover every 30 seconds telling me this was a demi.

So I tried converting tp mg4 but the quality diminished. Do u think it worth it to try .avi format?

Do I have other alternatives besides purchasing an upgrade? This is a DVD for a nonprofit so I dont have a lot to spend. I dont have a burner on my pc so i am using my mil's mac to burn dvds. It looked great except for that voiceover!! LOL!!

Any advice? Or suck it up and buy?
Thanks

Unfortunately, demos are designed that way so you don't use it forever without buying. My advice is to buy the full product upgrade or look for a free source.
