The best burner softw out there for Mac is & always has been Toast. The latest version is 7.

Don't forget you have iMovie & iDVD, though they're probably a little limited as to what you can import into them. Toast makes it all too easy.

Some tips for downlding videos: Movie download issues

For burning, it's best to do some test runs using cd-rw or dvd-rw 1st. At least until you get a hang for using the program & settings, etc. For Toast: Read the manual! That's important. Don't be lazy not to read it. Also visit the Roxio site for info such as the FAQ.

BTW if you want to check or watch videos you downld on your computer, get VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) as it's the most reliable player for either windows or mac OSX since it has in-built codecs. To see what it can do, see http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html It can play VCD'c, DVD's, stream video or audio content from the net, etc.

BTW apple support will rarely help with such issues. And especially anything to do with 3rd party programs. They will help with what comes with your computer but mostly only re: system & hardware issues.

Hi,
Thanks for your speedy reply....

I thought Limewire? said it supplied software to burn DVD's ie
klcodec227f.exe? and dmf4_dc_na_tbyb.exe? which I believe are PC
based.

The best films I have seen are in avi...and do play using VCL

So you say I can burn avi to DVD using Toast.?

Many thanks

Steve

Toast 7 has divx support which improves it over the previous versions plus other settings additions for video dvd burning. It will burn avi/mpeg to dvd just fine.

BTW LW does not say anywhere about providing burner software. I suspect you got your LW from a scam site. Did you know LW is FREE!!! Have you seen this **BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites (click on link)

Can you tell us where you got your LW program? And where did it say you get burner programs with it?

BTW yes, VLC is reliable & is FREE, just like LimeWire (LW).

Oh no!!! You'll find that site listed here Known Scam Sites (click on link)

Options:
1. get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members)

2. I'd recommend you go to your Credit Card company & ask to speak specifically with their fraud/scam dept. & tell them you were scammed over the net & didn't get what you paid for. Normally they will refund you. They offered you LW pro right? But that's not what you got. You certainly didn't get OSX burner program. In any case, they were making promises which were false in the advertising on their website.

The official site is here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

It looks like you had posting problems like me. lol See the link about the list of scam sites, there's a link at the top of the page where you can make an official complaint about them being an online scam site. The more people who do this, the sooner we can get them offline.

I wish we could, but it's not easy. The best way is probably putting in a formal complaint here http://www.ifccfbi.gov
I've complained there before also for decent reasons.

Glad to hear the C/C co. is sounding positive about it. I've had my C/C scammed before. I complained to the right dept. & got a refund. That was after buying some concert tickets many years back, & then I noticed other additions to my statement that were not by me nor did i know who the business was that was charged to.
