    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.

Hi,

Okay I am new to this forum and the whole mac lap top world, altho I am familiar with the mac and yada yada. Okay I'm very much into editing video and movies and I was making a idvd project. When I went to burn the project it burned fine (the process anyways) but when I went to play the dvd on my dvd player it didnt read it and then I put the dvd back in my mac and it didnt play it either.

I used a dvd+R, 4.7 gb and I know my superdrive can burn anything (-R, -RW, +R, +R rw, etc using a mac book pro with the os x tiger) so I'm wondering if thats the problem, but I have no clue why it burns and then the DVD is virtually unreadible and I've put it in my pc dvd player, 2 dvd players in my house, and the mac laptop one.

I even burned a disc image to see if that helped and nothing.


Can anyone help me, or should I just use dvd-Rs instead of the dvd+Rs???

I had a similar issue with iDVD (http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69899) and the only way I got my movie to work was to use Toast to burn it instead of iDVD. I think there is some issue with iDVD on Intel Macs but nobody can seem to figure it out (called Apple 3 times).

so, I would suggest (if you made the movie in iMovie) to share it to Quicktime then just burn it using third party software like Toast. best of luck
