Thanks a lot drumrob. I do use both the audio and video ts folders when using Toast. I have found that Toast is a little more reliable than burning straight from DVDSP. I do try to keep the bitrates at a maximum of 7. I do know that older players just can’t handle the DVD-R’s, but my main concern is the laptop issues. The Mac laptops can normally play them back using VLC, but when they just use Mac DVD player it causes a lot of artifacts and playback problems. It just doesn’t seem professional to say “make sure you use VLC when playing back.”

I’m going to look into those burners you suggested…I really hope that is all it is, but I am just wondering (not looking an inexpensive gift horse in the mouth) but are they more a prosumer burner or do post houses use them?

Thanks a lot for replying to this drumrob and I must seem like the dumbest actual “dvd author” ever, but I’m just trying to keep this gig and all of your help is really appreciated. I’m glad I stumbled across this site.
