• 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.

Hi all

I'm a newbie to the world of video and movie making. I'm looking to make movies and edit, one day professionally, and was wondering what would be the ideal machine.
a mac pro
or an I mac.

at the moment, I'm in the learning stages, but as I advance I'd hate to be held back by equipment. So I figure its best to get the best machine possible to avoid future issues.

any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Thanks
EK

Go for the Mac Pro.

Upgradeable graphics, more memory, better Superdrives and easier to replace/install additional hard drives but then again I am a Mac Pro fan that dislikes glossy toy iMacs.
