How do I burn a DVD that was ripped with Mac The Ripper? Do I just drag the VIDEO_TS folder into the DVD and burn it?

Any help would be nice, thanks.

if it's a Factory DVD it's probably Dual Layer. MTR just rips it to the hard drive and takes out country codes and such. Unless you have a Dual Layer Burner with a 8.6GB DVD it will not fit. You can purchase Roxio Popcorn as Inflexion said or get DVD2OneX. It needs to be shrunk down to 4.7GB before it's burned unless like I said, you have a Dual Layer burner and blank.

Right now I use MTR and DVD2Onex. I am planning on the new Roxio Toast 7 which I am told does what Popcorn does plus a lot more.

Toast 7 Rocks! Compresses and burns to a single DVD!

Umm, I just ripped a movie that my friend had onto my computer with MTR and want to burn it onto a DVD with the burner in my iMac. Do I have to go buy stuff? Or can I at least watch it on my computer?

No, when you rip with MTR it creates two folders (Audio_TS and Video_TS), you need a program like Handbrake to convert those folders to an AVI for Quicktime.

To burn it to DVD you could use DiskUtil, Toast, or any other burnin software that you have. Toast is the best, in my opinion, but costs some money.

Hope this helps.

You can watch the Video_TS directory with the built in DVD player. I do it ALL THE TIME.

you need to make an image of it first if you will be using "disk utility"
disk utility will NOT make a DVD-ROM (UDF).

make the image then burn..

you can open up apple dvd player -->apple+O--> then hit play..

toast 7 will cost you money... but you can make the dvd from the VIDEO_TS folder. and it will let you choose if you want to keep the extra features or just do the main movie itself.

but just remember.. image first then disk utility.
