Hi all,

I've got a MacBook pro Retina. Im off away next week. I've just bought Prometheus on DVD to watch on the journey there.
Only problem is, The retina screen macbook has no optical drive...
I did search on here and found 'Handbrake' was the software to load a DVD onto the machine. I went through all the steps, seemed to be going well, an hour later I tried out the copy of the film It put into Itunes.
It appears to be scrambled though. Anyone know what could be the problem? or no way around this?

Many thanks.

Many thanks for the replies all smile

I think I'll take back the DVD, if possible..

I went to Itunes, and tried the 'rent' movie feature instead for £4.49, as I'll probably only watch it once. I now realise how terrible my internet connection is though... The HD version of the film will be downloaded in 24 hours apparently!

It does seem to work well.

I was a bit shocked with 24 hours though! down to 21 hours now. Hate broadband in the countryside... my last download speed test was 1.32 Mbps.. frown
I even managed to get 5.66 Mbps in Worcester using the iPhones 3G!
