"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec: [link] and then install it. Which I think is just dragging it into the application folder, but I'm no expert.

Okay, ita, I got the VLC fine. And I've got Bit Torrent OSX 4-1.0.2.dmg. But when I try to download it from DXM's link in outer Bosnogravenia, it says: rejected by tracker - You need a newer bt client to connect here.

What am I doing wrong?

So does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives to iDVD?

There aren't a lot of choices. What are you looking to do with the alternative?

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

I thought you said you already had the mpg, Hec?

As for torrenting on the Mac, I know nothing of the clients.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Azureus is a popular Mac torrent client. It's the one I use -- it's fairly straightforward, and its avatar is a blue frog!

Our wings are not tired

The next step up from iDVD is DVD Studio Pro. Toast 6 Titanium also deals with burning DVD's and will build menus and layouts. Not sure what you are looking for, but those are the two options that pop to mind.

I thought I did, but it was just the aborted download from Bit Torrent.

However, I got Global Frequency (which did indeed kick ass. I can see the Miranda Zero fanfic generating on the horizon as I type.) from P-C putting it at You Send It. I got the VLC from your link which ran it.

And now I've got Teppy's Blue Frog. Thank you all.

VLC is really a good program.

And now I've got Teppy's Blue Frog.

Give it back!

DirecTV breaks TiVo.

What are you looking to do with the alternative?

I'm trying to burn video files to a DVD that can be watched on a regular DVD player. iDVD says it's working then it freezes. Which I discovered is "normal". I was told it only looks like it's frozen, it's really working. Except that after 12 hours of "working" but not looking like it's working, I had to abort the process for fear of my laptop melting through the coffee table.

I fear I may have to just save the files to a DVD and apologize to the party in question.

Kristen, if these are the files of which I'm thinking, do you want me to burn the ones I have to DVDs as DVDs, and you send the rest as files?
