• 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.

i'm having a similar problem... i tried saving from imovie directly to the external.. and it says the drive is locked.. or doesn't have enough room... i tried dragging the icon and it says it has unfamiliar characters...

i know it has enough room and it can't be locked because i dragged pictures and music to it without a problem... and the filename is Chloe so it's not wierd or anything...

i'm stumped... PLEASE HELP!!!

Click the drive in question once, then type apple+i. Int the permissions section make sure that you have sufficient privileges to read, write, and execute on the drive.

if all is good, goto Applications>>Utilities>>Disk utility

Highlight the drive in question on the left, and make sure that the check box for Locked, is NOT checked. If it is, uncheck it. Hopefully won't require a re-partition.

Best,

Brian
