    Used Mac the Ripper on Powermac to burn DVD+R DL copies of movies. Not playing on Portable DVD player or on stand alone DVD player, but will play on standard PC. Manual for Panasonic DVD-LS91 Portable DVD player says it will not play back movies burned from a PC. Is there any other way to burn copies of movies and play them back. We are taking a 16 hour flight this week with our small child....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The most likely problems are:

    1. The media you are using. Use only Verbatim for DLs (for future reference, only use Verbatim or media that is Made-in-Japan for regular burns as well.)

    2. If the above doesn't solve the problem, your drive might not be booktyping/bitsetting the DVD+R discs to DVD-ROM. I don't know what tools are available for the Mac but see if there's a way to determine that with your software or find a friend running Windows and have him run DVDIdentifer or Nero CD/DVD speed. It should report DVD-ROM somewhere (maybe in addition to being DVD+R, which is what your DVD's really are, but the purpose of bitsetting it to trick old and poorly-designed devices into thinking you have a commercial DVD-ROM disc.)atever software you are burning with
