Hi there, Glad to find this site as it looks like there's quite a lot of bod's on here who know their sh*t. I'll give you a rundown of the system and programs I'm using first: Computer: [bold]Apple Mac G4 Tower[/bold] System Software: [bold]OS 9.2[/bold] Programs: [bold]DVD Extractor 0.9b DVD Studio Pro 1.5 MPEG Append[/bold] Okay, now for the problems: I'm not a complete dunce as I have successfully backed-up DVD's before, it's just some which are giving me aggro. [bold]1)[/bold] Con Air for example; I split the movie over two discs and when I played the second disc it has slight lip sync problems, how do I sort this? [bold]2)[/bold] Is there anyway (or program) which can shrink movies to fit on one dvd (some files being 4.7gig even after extraction!) [bold]3)[/bold] I have an NTSC dvd but my TV doesn't support this. Can I convert the DVD to PAL? [bold]4)[/bold] I also have plenty of MPEG movies on my hard disc, how do I burn these onto DVD? (Please don't tell me to copy them to CD-R because I'm using a PS2 to play my DVD's and it doesn't support CD-Rs) Thanks for your time.
I could tell you all the ans, but Im tired and need to sleep. You can get all the answers in here: DVD-R for newbies or DVD-R for advanced users. Just look at past threads and all will become clear.
you have a mac, most of have pc's. You might get better help at the mac forum: http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/56
Ditto on the ignorance about Macs problem, but I can help a little bit: 1) Don't split it over two dics, make a movie only copy and exclude all menues and audio/video options that you don't need. 2) DVD2One is a great compression program that also has a Mac version (www.dvd2one.com). 3) You can convert, but I don't know what Mac software you would use. 4) Again, not very difficult to do on a PC, but I don't know about on a Mac. Try the prog that Yuedana mentioned Hope I was of some help...
