• 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'm using Toast 11(.0.4) in Lion (10.7.2) and it all works fine. This version is less "friendly" than the previous one IMO but functionally it works fine.

I am still using Toast 10 with the last update (too poor right now for 11 :D) and everything I have tried works.

Just curious as I have never looked. Does Windows 7 out of the install, not a Compaq install that comes with extra software, burn VIDEO DVD's that play on a normal DVD player?

OSX WILL burn CD's and DVDs from finder out of the install. Just not sure on a Movie DVD that will play on a set top DVD player since I always use roxio toast here for all my burning needs.

Windows 7 Home Premium (which is what most Win 7 installations are) comes with Windows DVD Maker out of the box. It is specifically used to burn pictures and videos to a DVD viewable on a standard DVD player.

iDVD is still much better.

any movie you burn from the finder only burns data. Movies files will not play anywhere out of the computer. I used a program from Roxio called vhs to dvd. They should not be allowed to call it that because it only copies the files to the computer and then they tell you to edit in imovie and burn it with idvd. Oh thats right, I don't have idvd....

Glad they finally are including something like that.


I have never used iDVD to burn a movie. Always Roxio Toast and make menus there also.

There's no assurance that iDVD will work past Lion (or even the next Lion update). You can install it from your iLife 09 disc onto a Lion system (and then updates to it will show up in Software Update) but Apple has discontinued / abandoned it so there's no promise it will work in the future and almost certainly won't work on future machines.

You'll need to get them from your iLife install disc. There is no "download" of iDVD themes.

In Windows 7, Vista and XP, the user can burn videos dvd with Windows DVD Maker that is part of Windows live software that include Movie Maker. All this is available with a Windows update. It is like iLife for PC.
