Hi,
I've just got a new Intel iMac 20". 2ghz etc, and tried copying a DVD using 'mac the ripper', it ripped fine, and burned fine, but once i tried to play it .... nothing.

The DVD plays perfectly on both my normal DVD player and in my windows laptop, why wont it read in my mac????

Its a DVD+R .... which i've always been led to believe is the most compatible format? :S

Also, one other minor gripe, according to the advertising, my mac should have an 8x dvd rw drive, but when i burn, its limited to 2x .. any ideas?

Thanks for any help :)
