• 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 guys,

I've finished editing my Video I've made for a Geography project that was set for school. My question is, whats the best format (AVI, MPEG4 etc.) to play on a DVD? I've been exporting my video in different formats, and every time I burn it to a blank DVD, the DVD player won't recognize it. What format shall I use?

Any quick replies would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can either export it as a quicktime movie and then import it to iDVD. You you just import your iMovie project to iDVD. From iDVD you create your menus, then encode and burn your DVD.
