    • 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.

Hi. My friend's band has some webcasts I would like to capture & burn to DVD.
Is it possible to hook up my Mac Book Pro to a HDD DVD Recorder using DVI to Video Adapter? What should I know before I attempt this?

All help much appreciated.

Your Mac's Specs
MacBook(3,1): C2D 2.2ghz, 4g RAM, 10.7.5; iMac(12,1): 2.5ghz i5, 16gb RAM, 10.9.1; iPhone5S iOS7.04
Should be possible; heck, some people use their Macs as entertainment centers, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

Or what you could do is if you don't mind spending some money on software, get the latest version of Toast, which allows you to capture video web streams.

Help w/ Recording Streaming media to DVD Recorder

So all I have to do is hookup a HD DVD Recorder to my Mac Book Pro, play the Flash video on my computer, then hit record on my HD DVD Recorder? This sounds too easy. I haven't bought a HD DVD Recoder yet, so I can't try it out. I just want to see if it's possible first. Do I really need Toast for this? :eek:

All help much appreciated.

Has anyone successfully recorded a webcast from their Mac Book Pro onto a DVD Recorder with HD, then burnt that file on to a DVD?
