I've been trying to burn a DVD to my Mac and the DVD has three optional subtitles (English, Spanish and German) and when I burn the DVD choosing the English subs they appear very faint, as opposed to the same subs on the actual DVD which appear clear and bright.
Is there any way to fix this?

I'm trying to rip my dvds of TV shows to a hard drive.

I'm coming across the problem of that the episodes are split into 2 separate VOB files. I wish to rip the whole episode as one single avi file (only known format my tv reads from external source)

I know that .IFO files can read it as a single episode. So if anyone knows of a program to does this and maybe a guide would be gratefully appreciated.

cheers.]]> 2 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:29:00 +0000 https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/copy-encrypted-dvds-on-mac-os-x.734658/ https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/copy-encrypted-dvds-on-mac-os-x.734658/ invalid@example.com (flash43) flash43 1 Sat, 18 Dec 2010 02:15:50 +0000 https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/help-deadline-compressing-or-resizing-mov-file.731900/ https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/help-deadline-compressing-or-resizing-mov-file.731900/ invalid@example.com (Mooshu) Mooshu
They only accept .mov or .wmv files no larger than 60 MB. My file is 750 MB. I used Quicktime Conversion within Final Cut Pro to create the .mov file, but the video which is in 16:9 aspect ratio was converted to 4:3.

1.) Is there a better way to get this file smaller without changing aspect ratio? Again, the file must be no larger than 60 MB.

2.) Would it be better to convert the file to a .wmv...

I ripped a DVD while keeping the settings to select the rip destination to an external Hard Drive that was not connected to my computer...(I use a Powerbook G4 1.67Ghz Power PC.

Somehow, the whole DVD was ripped, but I cannot find the file! My external Hard Drive was not connected. Internal Hard Disk space was used up (about 7GB) but the file is no where to be found!

Any one can help?
