Ann, Sounds like you need to reburn this gem.
I am not the end-all of information for this, but there are a couple of apps you might try. One I use on a regular basis is called MacTheRipper. It's been the most consistent for ripping video from unprotected disks. You should be able to find it here: http://www.wormintheapple.gr/macdvd/mtr.html You'll probably end up with several files to deal with, some called VTS and some called VOB. The VOB files, IIRC, are the ones you want, especially the biggest one. After I use MacTheRipper, an app called MPEG Streamclip has been the most helpful, intuitive and easy to use. It can convert files into a multitude of formats. I save them as a DV stream then use iMovie and iDVD to burn them to disk. You should be able to find it (and the docs) here: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5 rob Ann Richmond wrote: > Hi Wise Ones, > > I have a question.
