| Subject: | Burning a DVD in the US to send to France |

We would like to put together some photos of our family to send to relatives in France. The people in question have a DVD player but not a computer.
Does anyone have any experience good or bad with this kind of project. (If it matters, I am working on a Mac) Thank you |

There is another solution. If your French friend has a good computer with a DVD-capable burner, the problem can be solved simply. He/She can copy the US DVD (Zone 1) to change it to the French standard (Zone 2). And, this is legal.
The French government passed a law earlier which addresses this issue exactly. It is permissible to copy a DVD for your own use. Sofeware for this is readily available for download on the web. Hope ths helps, Dave |

| Message | Do they have an American or French DVD player? Because French DVD players cannot play American DVD's because of zoning. I'm not sure if this applies to burned DVD's though - maybe you could do a photo CD instead (my DVD player plays those). |
