Hello everyone. i have dvd's that i burened on a regular computer and now i want to upload them to my macbook pro. I dont know where and how. Can someone please tell me?

Thanks

And Macs are "irregular?" Just kidding.

This question has been asked multiple times elsewhere on these forums, so use the Search Forums box at the top right for many different ways of converting your DVDs to something you can play on your MBP. My recommendation: a program called Handbrake.

I see that you're new here, so here's another tip: MRoogle is your MacRumors friend.

Even though I'm new to this forum, here is some advice based on my experiences in other forums - Easier/quicker ways to get your question answered:
-make your own posting with a question in the main subject
-search for the topic beforehand to see if it's been answered already
-don't post the question randomly in a thread that doesn't quite have anything to do with your question (other than being new to Mac)
-also, kind of a helpful tip - if you're using Safari, spell check should underline whatever isn't spelled or punctuated correctly, so you can right click (if you enabled it) and it will suggest the correct selection you meant to post

good luck!

PS - not being bitchy, BTW. just being honest

okay, so here's my update after using the Macbook White for a few weeks.

I absolutely love this laptop. almost to an unhealthy level (LOL just kidding!)

one challenge I've loved taking on thus far is finding new programs that are Mac compatible to replace ones I previously used on PC's. it took me all of one day to find programs that would replace DVDvideosoft without having to pay for a program or having to download Mozilla onto my book (I don't know what everyone's opinion is on it, but I really like Safari. doesn't crash at all like Mozilla and Chrome have on me in the past ) I was able to find a YouTube downloader, then I translate with Handbrake, and if I want to sync the MP4 onto my iPod, I just go to Advanced>Create iPod version on iTunes.

I also downloaded Onyx to replace CCleaner and Malware Bytes and it works really well. I have downloaded a few other programs, but haven't had any time yet to play around with them. I've also been using TextEdit quite a bit and though the sales person at the Apple store really tried to get me to buy iWork, all I really needed was a dependable word processor with a spell check, so I saved a good $40 bucks with that move. plus, I popped in a copy of one of my favorite movies ever, THE DARK KNIGHT, and the picture and sound quality were AH-MAY-ZING!

there are still some things I've yet to do that I'm looking forward to this weekend: do a Skype video chat (used the mic to speak to a friend in Japan on Skype, though, and the sound quality was great), make a video in iMovie, start doing remixes on here, and maybe test out iWeb a bit for my fan sites to see how that goes.

thanks for being so welcoming, guys! I loved coming on here before and it's a million times more as useful/awesome now (guess that happens when you don't ONLY have an iPod as your only Apple product anymore)

Congrats! No doubt you'll find millions of ways to use your Mac. There are so many great open source apps out there. Have fun!
