• 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.

If I use iMovie or iDVD and burn it onto a cd, will people using a pc be able to view it? Also, if keynote has the same ability( I would like to burn presentations onto cd's and leave them behind with people), will pc users be able to view it?

For an iMovie burned on to iDVD, yes, a pc user can see it as long as they are DVD-capable (almost all are). I'm inclined to say no to keynote, as it most likely will need to be launched in keynote on the pc, but I can't know for sure, as I have Microsoft Office 08 on my mac, so i can transfer presentations to a pc. So get a second opinion on the whole keynote thing to confirm what I think.
