oh i didn't mean to insist that i shouldn't make copies...maybe i should have said distribute. i agree, it's great to have backups! as a matter of fact, i'll probably end up making a copy of my Tiger DVD for that exact reason...when I finally have the time to install it! But I don't have a...

Oh OK...so if you make an image of a bootable DVD, it includes the bootable properties? I really should have assumed this because it's mac...and stuff just works :). So how about making a bootable DVD of my system (assuming it could all fit on a DVD)? Is that even possible?

I have a 15" PowerBook with a Superdrive, and I was wondering how I would go about copying/making/burning bootable DVDs. For instance (ONLY EXAMPLE, I'M NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY DO IT), if I wanted to make a copy of the Tiger DVD (and I only use this as an example because it's the only bootable...

maybe one of the most important things is something they won't find...spyware? just make sure you make it very clear to them that they're not seeing it :)

i don't get it...so, apple releases tiger on a DVD, and you didn't think "oh, perhaps I need a DVD drive to install an OS from a DVD"???? That's like me buying 4 new truck tires, getting them home and blaming goodyear because i don't have a truck! Not to be a jerk or anything, but this is...

Hey all...I have a few apps I'm concerned about before I upgrade to Tiger (OfficeX and Photoshop CS, for instance). I think I've read here and there that they need updates for them to be Tiger compatible? Is there a list (maybe even on Apple's site?) of common applications that need to be...

:) i've done that a number of times and was absolutely puzzled by disappearing e-mails. :)

nice to see a success story from an Upgrade install...I've been reading a lot, and I'm not sure what I should do when I get my copy: upgrade or archive & install. I'm not even really sure what archive & install does...it's likea clean install? so i'll have to renistall all my stuff?

hey guys...thanks for all your help. i tried a whole bunch of stuff last night, and it seems the WMV is a WMV3 file, and from what I've read it looks like ffmpeg won't really convert anything other than a WMV1 OR 2. so i'll probably have to try on a PC....or give up :)

seems like a total pain....even on a windows machine (i guess that's microsoft for you). If anybody else has any other suggestions, I'm open to it...otherwise, I'll try some of that stuff when I get home.

that's a bit of a pricey solution, and really i'll only be doing this with one movie (it's not even for me, just a friend). Is there no other way? I read that flip4mac only loads half the movie in trial mode?

Hey...trying to ultimately burn a WMV file to DVD (for viewing on a DVD player, not data) using iDVD. Is there a conversion utility (or any way) to convert a WMV file to a QuickTime file? Or maybe even a program that will do a straight burn of a WMV to DVD? Friggen Windows.
