• 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.

slot imac700 with external DVD
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have an imac 700 with slot in cd-rw and an external dvd drive (firewire) that can read and burn and have a 256 mb sdram and loads of hd memory available(55Gb). I have toast titanium and Popcorn. I have recorded some films to dvd-rw(finalalised) from the tv but wish to edit them to cut out the few minutes at the start and the commercials and re-burn them back onto dvd-r. Here's the big question....since I dont have a superdrive I cannot get macs own dvd authoring to work....is there another application that will work on this mac.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks
Geoff Coulson
