• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I was using my computer at work.. Mac 05, Power PC to burn DVDs with iMovie. I had no problem at all using HP lightscribe discs. I attempted to burn 2 different discs here at home, Mac 06 Intel using iMovie, and it rejected both discs saying "Please insert a recordable disc". So I put in a Memorex DVD, and it's working fine.

Any reason for this to be happening? Any way I can fix it? Could it just be coincidence and I have two bad discs?

I really NEED to use the lightscribe, otherwise it would be no big deal. Thanks in advance.

Your Mac's Specs
Way... way too many specs to list.
it could be, can those discs be written to in the other machine? I've seen burners that for some reason or another did not like some media.. not really all that uncommon it seems
