How To Burn Copyrighted DVDs? Simple And Easy

Have you ever broken a new DVD or wanted to keep a back-up in case you loaned it to a friend and they never returned it? If you are like me, you've had this happen plenty of times and that is why I want to tell you how to burn copyrighted dvds and never worry about this again! Let's face it, those suckers are expensive enough as it is.

I've got several programs that I use to burn my CDs like most people, and wondered how easily I could do the same with DVDs. So, after a bit of research I found a few different programs and bought the best one I thought would work. And it did the job in no time. But there are a few things you should remember before purchasing a DVD burning program.
The biggest concern we have to keep in mind is that we aren't just burning regular dvds. These are copyrighted and typically aren't able to be copied. However, not all folks who want to make copies of their dvd movies are doing it to resell for a profit. Honest people like us just want to have a back-up in case it gets lost or stolen. So when you are shopping for a software program insure that is has the capability of burning copyrighted dvds.

Chances are these programs are going to cost some money. Think about it though, even if they cost up to $50 that will save you a lot of money in the long run! The last time I checked, a new release dvd was selling for at least $25-30. And I've loaned or broken plenty of dvds that would have made this software pay for itself really quick.

So how do I burn them already!

Once you've found a suitable burning software program, you will need blank disks to copy your dvd to. Most local electronics stores and even the grocery store have blank dvds. Don't go cheap on these though! You want a blank disk that has a very large capacity so your entire dvd can be burned to it and have the quality remain 100%. Once you've got these two items, it's as simple as 1-2-3. Place the disk in your writable drive, walk through the software program to make a temporary copy, and then insert the writable disk and let it make the duplicate copy, and BAM! You've got a backup of your precious copyrighted dvds!

How Do I Play Windows Games on a Mac?

Have you ever wanted to play Windows games on your Mac? Well if you have an Intel powered Mac running a Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later operating system you can run a complete Windows operation system such as Windows XP in parallel with your normal Mac operating system. With the Windows operating system installed on your Mac you can than play those Windows Game in fact you can run any Windows program.
To install Windows on your Mac you will first need to install the Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac software on your system. To successfully run the Parallels Desktop software on your Mac you must have the following:-

• Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later. To check what version of Mac OS X you have got, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu in the menu bar.
• An Intel-powered Core™ Duo or Core™ Solo Mac® Mini, iMac®, MacBook™, MacBook Pro or Mac Pro.
• A minimum of 768MB of RAM but 1GB is recommended.
• About 200 MB of hard disk space on the boot volume for Parallels Desktop installation.
• Sufficient space on your hard disks to allocate for the virtual machines, i.e. 15 GB of hard disk space is recommended for each virtual machine.

Installing Parallels Desktop software on your Mac is not difficult. When it is installed you can then use it to install what it calls the Guest operation systems i.e. the other operating system such as Windows XP or Vista or even Linux that you want to run at the same time as your Mac operating system. You can install any of the Windows operating systems but there is a Windows Express Installation Assistant especially for Windows XP and Windows Vista. You can also install using Typical or Custom installation settings. During the installation process you will be instructed to insert the CD or DVD containing the Operating System software you want installed, such as the Windows XP Operating System disk.

When the Guest operating system is installed it will run in a window on your Mac screen. When you run an application in the virtual machine with Windows installed, the running application's icon appears in the Dock by default. If you want this application icon to remain in the Dock even when it or the virtual machine are not running simply Right-click (Control-click) the applications icon in the Dock, and select Keep in Dock. If you then click the Windows application's icon in the Dock it launches the virtual machine and then the Windows application. In this way you can have the icon for your favourite Windows Game in the Dock and simply click it when you want to play that game.

The Apple Power Mac G5

The Power Mac G5 is Apple Computer's newest flagship system. In fact, it is considered by many as not only the fastest Mac avaliable, but the fastest personal computer to date. Using a liquid cooling system, the G5 is able to keep its powerful dual processors running cool and fast. Currently the dual processors come in speeds of 1.8GHz, 2GHz and 2.5GHz. Don't let the GHz confuse you, however. These systems have been shown to out-pace the fastest Pentium 4 systems in commonly used applications such as Photoshop.

This computer can truly claim to be the worlds first mass-produced and marketed 64-bit processor. Running the dual processors at 64-bits allows the G5 Power Mac to reach speeds of 4GHz - something the pentium processor has not come close to doing thus far (The fastest Pentium 4s with Hyperthreading currently run at 3.4Ghz).

Another remarkable feature of the Apple Power Mac G5 is its phenominal bandwidth capability. The G5 has a maximum 1.25GHz frontside bus (each processor has one), allowing data to be processed extremely fast without even affecting the central processors. The "high-speed, high-capacity" memory capabilities along with the impressive frontside bus allow the G5 to produce amazing 3D/2D video and accoustics.

There will always be a kind of comparison between PC and MAC !! Simply put, the Power Mac is a marvel to behold. For mac users, and pc users alike, this is a dream come true. It's a true leap forward in the speed and capability of the home computer.
