    I have a Video_TS folder whose content plays under Apple DVD however when i use Toast to burn it to DVD, I get an unplayable DVD. The computer that just burned it wont even read it! I drag the Video_TS and an empty Audio_TS folder to Toast under the Data setting and i select DVD-ROM (UDF) from the menu on the left. Once it's burned, I'm left with a coaster. I've burned DVDs successfully before using this method. Can someone help me?

    what formats does your dvd player take?
    and are those 4x or 8x dvds? if its a 4x you wanna burn at 2x, and if its an 8x you wanna burn at 4x.
