Thank you for the tip. It was the SD issue. I have successfully burned my discs. I will certainly remember how to save disc space using the AC3 format next time.

BURN-TO MEDIUM:
Disc A used in 1st failed attempt –
Specifications = RW DVD + RDL 2.4x 8.5GB
minutes unknown (original packaging not available)

Disc B used in 2nd failed attempt –
Specifications = Recordable DVD+R DL 8x 8.5GB 240 min

I burned several times to both types of discs, and still got “data disc” and no video viewing capability.

I’ve been advised to click the Graphical tab background to bring up the Inspector and to make sure the radio button is selected to SD. I am doing that now. I have used the Inspector when clicking various assets, however I did not realize that clicking a background — usually reserved for deselecting items in programming — would bring up the tool to inspect a track.
