• 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.

So I was given a power point and a vcd file to make one movie with for a friends wedding... in 6 days *sob* I only recently got a mac and am still trying to learn my way around it. I'm hoping to be able to create the disc using free software / conversion tools, just dunno what to look for. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could provide!

You can save Powerpoint files straight out of powerpoint as movies.

If you don't know anyone with powerpoint or don't have it yourself.... there are several convertors around but I've yet to find a free one for mac....maybe others will have an idea.

ffmpegx will convert the mpeg file into an mov file that you can work with in iMovie and/or iDVD
