My Problem Is With The burning, I Have Been Using Toast 5 Titanium But Have Not Made A Sucsessfull backup as of yet, The dvd seems to Have the same files On the dvd-r as it did on my Hdd, It detects That It Is A Dvd, But Wont Play, Nothing, and In My stand alone It Says Dvd, and Looks Like Loading up then, "CHECK DISK"... Im So tired Of Going thought dvd-r's Like the were cd-r's, May Somone Please Help Me, Kind regards
They are like CDRs -- they don't work with DVD players either without luck and black magic ;-) Nah, but seriously, just like with CDRs when used for VCDs, your main thing is to try various DVD-R brands. Unfortunately, more expensive, better chances there are that the disc works.
Hi there, thanks for your reply, Unfortuntly Im Very Supportive Of these Disk's As they Are the Only Disk's Warrented By Apple and Cost about $10 A Disk, I Have A Feeling Its Somthing to do With the Way Im burning them as Once riped To My Hdd they Work Great Off My drive... and My Friends all use thes disk's And they Have No Problem With them.... Can anyone Tell me what the dvd Player first Looks At when u put the Disk In...

Hi, One valuable thing I learned is to burn your DVD to an image first. Then, just open this image in a DVD player program and see if it works. If it works as you wish, proceed on to the burning.
Hey Simzy, I don't have any exerience with DVD burning on a Mac, but the procedure should remain the same. I had the same problem in the beginning, but I found the solution www.doom9.org When you rip your movie to hdd, make sure you also rip all vts_1_*.* (if it's not the movie) and all video_ts.*. But to make it simpeler just backup the entire dvd. Then use IfoEdit to strip everything you don't wanna have. When finished load the new movie ifo in IfoEdit and press Get VTS Sectors. Here is the main info of vts-files stored, but it had changed since you ripped the movie. With these new vts-sectors your movie should be just fine. Now your movie will play just fine on your pc. To burn the movie I use Prassi PrimoDVD, because it works better than Nero on my system, but many have good experiences with Nero. Just try them both.
