Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If, then, I want to burn a DVD, do I need another (commercial) product? I mean, if I can't find the right code?

ffmpegx is free software that converts video from one format to another. You should be able to use it to turn the AVI into MPEG2 suitable for burning to a DVD.

Sweet. Thanks. I'll still need to replace the burner on the PC, but of course the reason I discovered I couldn't work iDVD and that the burner was broken was because I had urgent burning needs.

Trust my rage

I have a large file on a DVD. I want to make a copy of it. I have done it before with Disk Utility (on my mac) but I can't remember how to start.

(I know I have to do something to the disk image before it will burn because "burn" is currently greyed out on the menu.) Anyone?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Maybe mount it, first?

Don't you think that's rather personal, DCJ?

Trust my rage

I figured it out. I needed to make a new disk image first.

No mounting required.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Want.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I just bought a LaCie Slim DVD±RW and burned six DVD-Rs with it tonight with no problems. It's a NEC ND-6500A, according to Toast.

move out and draw fire

Anyone know a photo-sharing website that lets you set your slideshow to music? Not for me, but for a friend who just got married and wants to post wedding photos.
