A quick note to say that DVDflick worked. I got the video's made - just in a nick of time (bc. I have a full day conference tomorrow). Now my daughter can bring her friend the videos (and scrapbook). DVDflick was amazingly easy compared to other things I tried. Once on the program, I printed the 6 page guide - which explained most of what I needed to know. Two things I had to figure out myself - and am posting here for others who may try this. 1 - on the Configure your Project tab, there are settings for video. If you want to change the resolution/file size (as I did to fit a 45 minute video on a standard dvd), you can adjust the bit rate). 2 - I would recommend on the burning settings (also under configure your project tab), choose to have it burn it to dvd, and verify, and eject. The first dvd I made I only selected burn it and verify. It burned it - ejected, reinserted and played it. But then the dvd tray was locked and couldn't be opened. This is somewhat frequent occurence with disc burning software - which wants to prevent you from accidentally opening the tray before it's done. The only way I could open the tray was to shut the computer, and hit the open disk tray button as it was rebooting. The next video I made, I selected eject when done - and it ejected it. For a while I thought the tray was broken - and tried the usual methods to release - like the paper clip in the tiny hole near the tray. And going to my computer, d:, eject disk. Nothing worked bc. the software was preventing it. Once my disk was ejected - and the software closed, the open and close tray works fine with other programs. Thanks so much. This was a great program. Just curious if convertxtodvd would get me additional features. I can see burning many dvd's for people (we seem to be the videographers of many social gatherings and I'd like to give dvd's to people who were part of the plans). DVDflick worked great - but I don't mind paying a little if it gets me more features. Any thoughts? Thanks so much. You saved me. Lynn.

I think one of the Nero programs you have will do the job. Check the link below for info about it. Video Help dot com is the best for video information. On the left side of the page click Author. You can search for how to guides from there. Or here is a direct link to a how to guide. The guide is for Nero Express 4. Pooh Bear Here is a link that might be useful: Video Help dot com

"Hi, guys. Are you still frustrated to hunt a trustworthy Blu-ray ripper on Mac to rip or edit Blu-ray movies to mp4, wmv, avi, mov, mpg, etc. workable to iPod/iPhone/PSP/Zune, etc.?" No.

Is it a slideshow type DVD? You might be able to pause the DVD and right click and "save" the picture. Also, try "exploring" the DVD. Go to My Computer or Computer and select OPEN to see if there are picture files on it that you can access. Hope this helps a little.
