• 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.

hey guys. How can i do this? id like to basically take all the media used in a project, put it in one folder, then burn that to DVD

the project is finished, however, its darn good work, and we KNOW we'll revisit it again sometime. It takes up much space between a mac and a pc. We know we could get it down to a dual layer DVD easily

how can i do this?

Also, isnt there an EXPORT AS .ISO/.DMG in DVDStudio pro?

I'm really not positive on this, but maybe you could try this out:

If you know FCP, you know that all media for the project is kept in ~/Documents/Final Cut Pro Documents/. Take this folder, along with the project file and burn that to a DVD. Then when you would like to work on the project again, put in the DVD, copy that "Final Cut Pro Documents" folder to your Documents folder, and double click the project file.

Like I said though, this may or may not work. I've never had to do it.

I think i found my answer

I go into the project, while all media is online, go to media manager. Create a new folder in finder, and then set the destination to there. Tell it to MOVE all files.

Im gonna try this in a little bit, i hadda wait for all my comps to be online with my media.
