[MacDV] Burning a ripped video to DVD

[Nick Scalise]

It's not so bad, you just have to have the right tools.

There are multiple ways to burn your VOB file directory to DVD:

1) Toast ($$$).

2) DVD Imager (Free):

3) Disk Utility (little fuzzy on details and with DVD Imager being so  
easy, usually not worth the hassle):

	a) Create a DVD sized image.
	b) Copy over your VIDEO_TS folder to the root of the disk image
	c) Create an AUDIO_TS folder at the root of the disk - can be an  
empty folder
	d) Covert that image to a CD/DVD master
	e) Burn to DVD
