Without software such as Toast which simplifies burning all types of DVD.s CD's etc. the easiest way to burn a copy of the extracted VIDEO_TS folder is the following; 1: locate the VIDEO_TS folder you have extracted (ripped). If it is contained in a folder with the actual title of the ripped DVD/CD that is the folder to work with. 2: In the Finder, highlight the target folder. If you do not have the "burn" button on the Finder tool bar, go to menu -> File -> Burn "Title of Folder" to disc. 3: You will be cued to insert a DVD of sufficient size to match the size of the VIDEO_TS folder. Continue and burn your copy. NOTE: if you do not have a double layer DVD-R for large (bigger than 4.7GB) VIDEO_TS folders, you will need a program such as Toast to allow you to compress the folder to fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD-R. Otherwise you will be able to burn copies with what you have in the OS. -- Regards, Savageduck

If you need Windows (I have yet to need Windows for anything at home) Just boot into Windows with a Bootcamp partition. No need to even buy an emulator or VMWare, unless you need to run two or three OS together. When I bought my Intel MacBook Pro I bought an OEM version of Windows XP Professional SP2, thinking I might use it for all that stuff I am missing. It remains uninstalled as the need has never arisen. Regardless of what some might think, there is software built to work with OSX that just does the job elegantly. -- Regards, Savageduck |
