    • 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.

Hello Folks:

First time poster, so please forgive me if this has already been answered or if I have posted in the wrong area.

I am running Mac OSX 10.6.8 with a 2GHz Core Duo and 1GB or memory... not the fastest machine, but always served my purposes. Also have Snow Leopard running.

I have been having trouble with avi video lately. Several times over the past number of years I have used "Burn," "Toast Titanuim," and "VisualHub" for my video converting and burning needs. I have used the same process many many times before with no problems, but recently my avi files will not burn to dvd as they should. I have been dragging and dropping and burning to disc and they would play on my Blu Ray or Xbox 360 with no problem.

Now, all of a sudden, with no software or hardware changes that I am aware of, EVERY disc I burn will not be recognized in my Blu Ray and comes up as "mixed media disc" and cannot be played on my Xbox. I have tried several different discs, both DVD-R and DVD+R, different brands, different speeds, did a software update for my mac and my software, re-installed flip4mac, perian and divx codecs, and have checked all over the internet for a solution... can anyone help me ?? Desperate here!

Thanks in advance.

You've eliminated everything but a fault laser in either your DVD burner or your DVD player. So I'd suggest a cleaning disk for both.
