Hi Vicki Brian's Suggestion is one way to go, here is another... For free download DVD Backup 1.3, here is the url on version tracker http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18599 This program, weighing in at 94k, will suck the DVD onto your HD and remove all copy protection and region encoding. It is an small and very easy program to use. Be sure that you are doing this with your own bought DVD's :-) If the resulting Video_TS folder is under 4Gb or so in size, you can then burn the Video_TS folder straight to a DVD-R. If the Video_TS folder is bigger than 4.5GB then you can use a program called DVD2oneX, here is its url on Versiontracker http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19238 This is a pay for program €49 or about $60 It will take the DVD you have ripped with DVD Backup and recomposes it to fit on a DVD-R It is also an easy to use program Alex ---------------------------------------------------- On 20 Oct 2004, at 14:11, Vicky Quinn asked the question: > When I purchased my Apple Titanium Powerbook in June of 2003, I > thought I'd be able to make usable back-up DVDs of DVD movies that we > own.
