Hi, i had just downloaded MacTheRipper and Burn. I just burnt my first movie but when i put it in my mac to watch their was a error message. I just dragged the file to the burn window to burn. Did i do something wrong? i could use some advice.

Probably the Movie uses a double layer DVD. (8.0 GB approx). If your burner is single sided, you will need Roxio Popcorn (or some equivalent, now included with Toast 8.0) to compress the movie to play to fit on a regular single-layer (4 GB approx). (even this is not guaranteed, and of course the quality won't be as good) Check how big the Video_TS file is after you finish with Mac the Ripper. If it is bigger than 4 GB, you need dual sided burner (MCE Tech makes nice replacements for powerbooks and installs them for a fee), or to compress them to 4 GB with Popcorn. ONLY use Verbatim or Ritek medium for double sided burns, if you want your movie copy in uncompressed format. Memorex (sold ubiquitously at your regular Radio Shack) SUCKS. Mac the Ripper is nice sofware, though, because it removes copy protection and region codes (so you can play the DVD in any zone, Europe, America, etc.) Good luck. Oh, and make sure you can play the Mac the Ripper copy to make sure the ripping went ok. I recommend the free VLC player here on Versiontracker.Reply to This
