• 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.

Hello

I am very confused and need some Pro advice please!

I dont understand all the different insides of a mac but I know what I need.

I need a fast mac with lots of memory and a good processor for doing a lot of photoshop, Final cut pro and garage band editing.

I am not a pro and I do not have a business yet but I will be making a lot of short videos and eventually a few one hour movies.

I have heard some say I should wait for the new Mac Pro but then others tell me the Mac Mini can do everything I need.

If you can help me I will be so very grateful for your time.
Thanks! ;D

Maybe we can narrow things down a bit. Do you have a maximum budget?

as pigoo3 said- knowing your budget is good avice. For me display size and 'all in one' is important - I am in process of selecting options in an imac with $800 spread of upgrades. Good luck.
