I have been trying to burn a dvd-r with toast titanium 6.0 I keep getting operating system error code -50. Im currently using OS 10.3 Panther. I used DVD Backup to rip the original dvd, then used DVD2oneX to compress it. Dragged the VIDEO_TS file created on DVD2oneX to toast in the video setting. I can see all the images of each file. I set it to DVD burn and click the red button. It begins to encode files, and then it suddenly gives me -50 error. The DVD-R doesnt get damaged and nothing is written to it. I attempted to burn it through the finder and it did successfully, but it will not play on my DVD Player only in my computer. I have a dual 2g G5. Any help or advice will be appreciated.

I think some gave the answer to this question on this site. Will have to do a search.
