| i'm looking for some genius help on the following:
i've just bought a macbook pro and have two issues that require guidance & your help. 1: so i watch DVDs beautifully on the Mac but then i would like to download it onto my HD and either transfer to store onto a separate HD or burn. burning not really a priority. i was told that mac the ripper was the bomb - great - have downloaded and testing out with one dvd but after dvd files download, i'm not sure how to get them to play from the listed VIDEO TS FOLDER. 2. secondly i have a bunchload of my kids' DVD that i would like to store onto a 1TB external HD so that we can then watch through TV. what would be the best programs and process to transfer them? i would also like to have the option of syncing chosen dvds onto iphone to take on holidays with us. have also had perian and handbrake downloaded ... not quite sure what to do with them? as you can tell i'm far from a "techie" about the terminology to use but am pretty cluey on following instructions .... hoping somebody can help! :) :) cheers |

| You also need to provide more information about how you expect to play them on your TV. Putting them on a HDD is simple.
Are you playing back through the Mac to the TV ? Do you have a console (Xbox 360/PS3) that you intend to use ? Do you have a standalone player that reads USB drives ? Do you have a WDTV ? Does your TV read USB HDDs ? All of these things will determine what you need to do with your files to make them suitable for what you want to do. As for question 1, install the Mac version of VLC, then open the video-TS folder as a DVD Folder and it will play. |
