    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.

ok, I have an avi file on my macbook and I have all of the codecs, meaning it plays fine in quicktime. I used toast 8 to burn this file to dvd but when i put the dvd in the dvd player, it doesnt play, theres just a black screen. i tried idvd but im having issues with that too.... there is no sound. please help, i do not want to waste all of my blank dvds. I just need to know how to put a saved movie on my computer on a dvd to play in any dvd player. Thanks
