IDVD will not play in DVD player :( help appreciated!!!
hi, I have been trying to get this gift, a slideshow to a very dear friend and have spend DAYS trying to figure this out. I have burned a slideshow to a DVD-R using the iDVD application. And the DVD will not play in ANYTHING but a playstation 3 unit. I even tried creating an image of the slideshow and saving it to the desk top and burning it to a dvd using disk utilities and still not working I am SO disheartened help appreciated. If I put it in a dvd player or a computer it plays pieces of it like choppy and or skipping. In the playstation it plays fine. But she does not have a playstation. THANKS
Hi
Most often - Cheap DVD brand -
I only use
• Verbatim
• DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) (SL)
• burn speed set down to x1 or x4 recommended by many
• minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk (others do not count)

Disc burned with iDVD will not play in DVD player only on MAC
I used iMovie to create a movie and then shared it with iDVD. I successfully burned the DVD through iDVD but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays fine on the iMac. It is in UDF format. After reading through posts, I saved the file as a disk image and then burned through Disk Utility. This plays fine but I would really rather burn the disc directly from iDVD. Any ideas why the DVD player says "This type of disc cannot be played"?
Media quality affects the burn errors on a disc. Computer players tend to have better error correction (to preserve digital data) - set-top DVD players tend to have poorer error correction since the are designed to play commercial, stamped DVDs with low error rates.

DVD-R discs will not play on DVD Player
The DVD-R discs I made will not play on DVD Player Version 4.0.
I transferred VHS to DVD-R using an RCA VHS/DVD Recorder. The discs played well in 3 different DVD players but will not play on my i-book.
Please help?

i-book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)In a nutshell the problem is the fact that the Software used by the RCA recorder is for PC.
When recording DVD's the software that is available varys greatly.
Some of the top of the line software gives options to burn PC only, MAC only, and PC or MAC combined.
It was also brought to your attention to use VLC Player on your Mac the firmware that is used with this player will sometimes allow for playing DVD's that were burned on these VHS to DVD Burners.
Here are a few tips that affect reading and writing DVD. This link is only a small amount of what can and does affect, I suggest you do a Google search to learn all you can.

DVD will not play in dvd player
Hi,
I created a dvd in dvdpro and put into my dvd player and it says it can not play my dvd. Is there some sort of setting that I missed?You misunderstand. You most likely created and burned an HD DVD in DVD Studio Pro.
iMovie will only build and burn standard DVDs so of course it will work.
Drew put up a link to another thread where this is discussed is excruciating detail. Read through it and you should be on you way to addressing your problem.

I have a MacBook Pro 2009. In order to get iCloud I have moved to Lion. Mountain Lion will slow machine too much. I now find that DVD player will not play the Disc Image .img movie files. When I open DVD player and click File and Open DVD Media, the Disc Image files are greyed out. The .dvdproj files are not greyed but if I click on them I get a message that "the media type is not supported". I could play the movies without any problem before I switched to Lion. The switch was done at the Apple store by an Apple Technician. Any idea what is happening?
Download and install VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html and get rid of DivX.

IDVD created disk will not play with dvd player.
We created a 3 slideshow DVD in Idvd 7.1.2 with an additional file of some of the photos added to the DVD ROM. It plays on tv, but only intermitantly will play on the IMAC24, and not at all on the IMAC20. Dvd player says "no compatible disk". both macs have OS 10.6.8. We are using Sony DVD-Rs. How can we get this to play?
Hi
A. I set down burn speed to x4 => less burn errors ---- iDVD/Preferences/Advance - set burn speed
B. I only use Verbatim
C. I use DVD-R
D. I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk (only one important)
E. I use a Cleaning DVD from time to time

IDVD burns will not play in DVD player
I am making a slide show with iDVD which plays OK on my imac but only plays through the slides very quickly and I am unable to make a selection to play the slideshow.
Hi,
you need to get back to the main menu of your dvd in idvd.
Unless youve actually used the big plus sign on the bottom left of idvd to put in a slide show..there wont actually be one!
You can only "play" your dvd in idvd from the main menu.
Once you have entered a slide show you can set up the duration etc.
Hope that helps!
Best regards,

DVD Studio Pro will burn but will not play on dvd player.
Hi,
I have a 30 minute dvd with a menu that i burned yesterday. it will play on my mac but not our dvd player or any of our Pc's. I have a quickly approaching deadline and guidance would be appreciated.
Andrew
ilerp.comHD DVDs will only play on Macs and a couple of now obsolete Toshiba HD DVD players.
Since DVD is a standard definition only format, you will need to create a regular DVD if you want it to play on regular DVD players or on Windows systems.

Burned DVD in Toast 9 will not play in DVD Player
I used Toast 9 to burn a DVD from a Video_TS folder. The DVD plays fine on my Mac, but will not work on any other DVD Player. The Video is in PAL format and I am using a DL DVD - any suggestions??
Since I don't know what region you are in, it's hard to answer but if you are in the USA then you can't play PAL on most set top DVD Players. You have to have NTSC standard.

iMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also plays fine on Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???
There are many reasons this could be the case but whether an optical disc can be read or not is a function of:
The reflective media layer of the disc
Whether the burned disc was a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW
The brand, model, and production lot of the disc
The specific frequency of the Write lasers that burned the disc
The specific frequency of the Read lasers that are attempting to read the disc
Are the Read lasers in the drive working (it is common for one set of lasers in a drive to fail while others continue to work)
How old are the Write and Read drives (laser frequencies change with age)
Is there dust on the read laser
Is there dust on the read lens
etc.
At one time it was estimated that fewer than 80% of all burned discs were readable in 90% of the drives. That has, I believe improved over time but at the same time it seems the faillure rate of lasers in the drives has increased but that may simply be the result of how many different read and write lasers there are in today's superdrives. Fortunately todays drives are a lot less expensive the replace -- now that Apple no longer installs optical drives in their computers. -
I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. I plan to buy a MacBookPro in the US but have read that it will not play UK DVD's. Is this so? If so, is it possible to change the codes?
All modern & new Macs can play both PAL and NTSC DVDs. I do it all the time and it works perfectly.
The DVD drive is set to its first region code when you first play a DVD in it. So when you buy a Mac, whatever type of DVD you play first will determine the initial region code that is set. If it's a PAL/Region 2 DVD it will set the DVD drive to region 2.
The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have a collection of DVDs that have different region codes. In those cases you may be faced with changing the region code in the DVD drive in order to play one or more of the DVDs; and as others have noted there is a limit to the number of times you can change the region code (most modern DVD drives allow up to 5 changes; the 5th change becomes the permanent change). This is due to industry licensing practices.
If you have DVDs that are Region 0 or All Regions you don't have to worry about region codes. -
DVD will not play in standard player?
Rookie to DVDSP. Created project in FCP, exported using Quicktime movie, brought into DVDSP and created dvd, first as HD DVD and read that a standard dvd player will not play so I created new project using all standard settings and still nothing. Dvd player says cannot read disc. I have watched entire tutorial on Lynda, read manual, and researched topics concerning this but am still stumped. Probably something simple but I'm really over my head and have wasted a pile of dvds. Any help would be appreciated.
First of all thanks again, watched Lynda tutorial on compressor and was able to compress. Ok, used setting for creating dvd in compressor. When compressor was finished it asked me to insert media to burn to disk. I did. The resulting dvd plays on my dvd player but looks horrible. Way too bright and nothing close to my project in FCP. From some of the tutorials and discussions I've read I'm assuming it is because my color levels are not correct?

DVD created with Imovie HD & iDVD will not play
Footage transferred and burnt to disk using iDVD One Step DVD will not play using the play button on the DVD player software . You need to select menu twice and then it will work.
This has only started happening recently so I imagine its due to an update of some sort?
Is there a solution that anyone knows about?
Thank you in advance for any replies.I was not using Dual Layer media, was using Maxell discs. I didn't go looking for burn speeds when I tried this version of iDVD. Just was disappointed that the 6 discs I'd burned wouldn't go on the DVD player.
So I certainly will give it a go with the slower burn speed and let you know what happens.
Thanks for the suggestion! -
I am having problems with my DVD tray. It is not moving in and out like it used to and now making LOTS of noises and won't play DVD after it closes. Please help
That is correct.....It is not mine it is my daughter's . When she tried to put the DVD in it will not go in easily and then once it is in the computer it will not play.
Sorry for the confusion -
I created an Imovie and shared it with Idvd to burn. I choose a theme and burned the DVD with no troubles. The movie will play in my computer (without showing the theme from Idvd but playing the movie) but will not play in my home DVD player hooked to the TV.
Also follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
