• 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.

hi all, i just wanted to know how to rip video (video clips,short films,music videos) from the internet. I can save them to the hard drive as web documents, but i was wondering if there was anyway i could save them as say mp4 and then burn them to a dvd.
Any ideas
Many thanks

Depends on the video. If it plays in Quicktime, wait until it's completely loaded, then click the little arrow at the bottom right of the window, and choose "Save as Quicktime Movie" to save the file.

If it's a YouTube video, you'll need to use something like TubeSock.
