    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.

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum. I have a quick question, can anyone tell me how to burn DVD's on the mac mini, without iDVD. I've attempted to burn some footage I edited from Final Cut Pro, but I don't have DVD studio and iDVD tells me it won't burn to DVD because my mac mini doesn't have a supported Superdrive. I need an alternative to burn my work to a DVD.

Thanks

Your Mac's Specs
Mac Pro 8 Core 2.8, 6gb Ram, 2TB HD space, Geforce 8800GT//Macbook Pro 2.16, 2gb Ram
You can purchase an external DVD drive that is typically hooked up to your PC via USB 2.0 or Firewire.
Since you mentioned that your mac mini doesn't have the supported superdrive, you probably won't be able to burn DVD's at all directly on your mini. If I can recall, the combo drive doesn't come with a DVD-R/RW.
This is why I recommend getting an external DVD-R/RW drive and hooking it up via USB or Firewire.
Hope this helps and good luck!
