• 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.

Hey Guys,

I went into Toast to burn the first season of the Sarah Silverman Program only to find out that my MacBook has the inability to burn DVD's as it's SuperDrive is incapable; is there any way to install a new drive, or am I S.O.L???

Which Macbook do you have? The cheapest model is not a SuperDrive but a Combo drive. If you have the one with the SuperDrive it should burn DVD's. If not something is wrong.
