Me again, this time with a DVD-R problem

[Keith Golinski]

I usually use Verbatim brand ink-jet printables and they have worked great for me.
I have recently switched to TDKs and have had a few issues with people not being able to play them in certain players. I would check to make sure all regions are selected as well in DVDSP other than that check with the DVDSP thread they may have more answers for you.

Good luck.

I hate to suggest spending money when I’m not 100% sure it will help, but this is something to try (and only $80, so it’s not gonna break the bank).

Try buying Roxio Toast. Instead of burning from DVD Studio Pro, just burn a disk image to the hard drive. You’ll get the video_TS and audio_TS folders on your computer. Use Toast to burn those to the DVD.

Here’s what I DO know. When I used to use Finder to burn DVDs ages ago I would sometimes get discs that worked in other players and sometimes not. Toast has an option to set where you specifically tell it you’re burning a DVD…not just a data disc. That fixed the problem for me.

Now, I would ASSUME that DVD Studio Pro would know what it’s doing and this shouldn’t be an issue…but I kind of feel like it would be worth your money to give it a shot. But like I said, I’m not really sure. Don’t buy this unless you’re feelilng a little adventurous.

And I second the suggestion for Verbatim discs.

Now here’s a weird thing. Built the project again and burned it on a Quad G5 and it worked fine. I used Sony DVD-Rs. Built the disc image and then burned it through Disc Utility at 4x (I couldn’t figure out how to set a burn speed in DVDSP4). But it’s working now.
