• 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.

Look for a program called VLC. search for it on google or get it here at Versiontracker (dead link removed).

Hope this helps. :D

Hmm, my Quicktime (version 6) doesn't play .avi. Neither does Windows Media Player 7, and I got DivX 5.1.1. I'm running OS 9.2, and there are no updates I can get for any of these that allow me to play avi. Oh and I got Real Player (I don't know why it blows) and I STILL can't play avi. Anyone know why please help.

Cheers.
