What is the best and quickest way to burn avi files to a blank dvd to playback on a standard dvd player? I tried visualhub which must have stalled or something because i left it around 40 minutes and nothing happened also tried idvd but that crashes when i open it.
Thanks!

Can your dvd player play divx? If yes, just burn the file on a CD or DVD as you normaly do with any other file, load it in to the player and act happy. If not, use Toast, cause it does a good job with these kind of things! |

You probably better redownloading them in DVD format as conversion can take ages and also degrade the quality if you get it wrong. Lots of trial and error.

I can't seem to add anything in iCal i double click and it just says you cannot add events to a mail calendar. Have asked in the apple forums but not got a reply so thought i'd try here. It's the first time i have opened it so it's not like i have played around with the settings and mucked it up.

Be needing a new computer right now.. the other one just needs too much in the way of repair so I'm looking for an iMac.
