• 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.

Hello. I am currently a PC user starting Uni doing an Audio Visual course and i don't have the first clue about what Mac i should get for home (saves me going all the way into uni). I have been a PC user all my life and don't know anything about the Mac world.

The sort of things i will be doing mainly include movie creation & editing and Audio editing and production.

If anyone could shed some light and recommend anything it would all be very helpful.

Thanks in advance

How intense/in depth will your video/audio production be? There is great software for both professional and casual production.

The more professional you are, the better the machine you are going to want.
