Does anyone know how to burn a normal video dvd with iDVD or iMovie? my sister just got a new imac with a dvd burner & i finally sat down & figured out how to use bittorrent (the alt.binaries.starwars thing is still flying high over my head at this moment). Anyway, i just finished DLing OCP's Star Wars classic edition to backup my laserdiscs & am trying to figure out how to burn it. I initially tried just opening the blank DVD on the desktop & dragging the Video_TS folder into it. I burned it, but i think it came out as a data disc. My playstation 2 reads it fine, but my normal dvd player won't read it at all. & the dvd player on the computer doesn't recognize it unless i specifically open the video_TS folder on the disc. (if i pop in a normal dvd, the comuter automatically recognizes it as a video dvd and plays it). Anyway, i can't afford nero & i already have two programs that are supposed to be able to burn video discs (iDVD & iMovie). I just cant figure out how to get rid of all the preformatted menus & crap so i can just burn Star Wars to dvd so that it will play in any normal dvd player. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
