My project plays on any Mac but not on my dvd player. Please advise.

Unfortunately that didn't do the trick. For the life of me I can't figure this one out. However, if I author it using iDVD (with the same media) it works? I'd make do with IDVD if I could get rid of the Apple logo in the lower right corner.

No audio on idvd burned disc- sound plays on TV fine but not on macbook DVD player

First time posting, so please excuse any naivete
Hi there, I'm having the opposite problem of many of the questions I've read on here- the audio on my burned disc won't play on my computer but is fine on my TV. I am running the latest version of idvd on a 2008 macbook. The music for the menu is a .m4a file (?) imported from itunes and the movie is an imported project from imovie. Both play fine in idvd preview and I have burned discs of this project before with no problems. This time I burned one disc through idvd, discovered the missing audio, deleted the encoded assets and re- encoded before saving the disk image and burning another dvd through disk utility. Both dvds are having this problem . I checked sound on my system preferences, it's on- though I can't find the "main audio" that was mentioned in another thread. Maybe I don't have enough space on my startup disk? I've been trashing some things to free up space, but I'm not sure where to check to see how much space I have.
I'm sending these dvds out as part of job applications so they need to be able to play right on whatever the reviewer uses (mac, pc, tv etc.)- is there a way to ensure it will work universally?
Thanks!

Ok. This is embarrassing. Just saw that the sound was turned down on my DVD player on my macbook though not on my computer. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best.

It works on my Computer, but not in my DVD Player

I burned a DVD, It works on my Computer, but not in my DVD Player...why?

still am trying to figure out how to burn at a slower speed, I see no optiond on iDVD.
You need to create a disk image out of iDVD, then burn. See below.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

DVD plays on earlier macs but not on mine

I have a mac from 2009. I want to play a dvd that plays on earlier macs but my dvd player won't even recognise that there is a dvd. It whirrs a bit and then spits it out. Please help.
Thanks,
Tamara

Hi Tamara,
I have a macbook
The forums for the Macbooks having a black or a white plastic case are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248
If you Macbook has an aluminum case, post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=249
If there are specific or recurring issues with MacBook DVD drives, it should show up in one of those forums.
If you want help figuring out exactly which Mac variant you have, do "About this Mac..." from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, then click on "More Info..." in the resulting window. If you copy and paste the results in the "Hardware Overview" into a post--EXCEPT for the serial number--people here can translate the info and make sure you find the proper forum for your Mac. For example, that info for my old PowerMac I like to use is:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,6
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 1.75 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.4.8f2
Serial Number: <removed>
Although yours won't have exactly the same info, this shows the format you are seeking. Note how I deleted the serial number. This type of info gets you help faster because it avoids a lot of "back-and-forth" posts trying to figure out machine-specific details.

DVD Studio Pro Authored DVD plays on iMac, but not PC or DVD Player

Have put several film up on web using FCP. Trying to make DVD of movies using DVD Studio Pro. The DVD plays on my iMac, but not my PC or my DVD player. Any suggestions?

Pop your disc into your Mac. On the disc there should be two folders, VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. If the VIDEO_TS folder is not there, replaced by something else, then you have indeed created a HD DVD. You need to completely start over.

DVDSP DVD's play fine in macs but not in standalone players...

This might be attached to my previous problem, but I thought I would give it a new topic as it is now a new problem.
The DVD's I have made in DVDSP play as they should in DVD Player when inserted into the two iMacs we have, however when we insert the discs into a standalone/set top player, the DVD plays the main track first and THEN goes back to the menu.
What should happen is that a short intro video plays (first play) then onto the Menu where, of course, the viewer makes their selection.
If I stop the DVD by hitting th STOP button on the standalone player several times, I eject the disc and then re-insert it, the DVD plays as it should; showing the first play video and then going to the menu.
Would anyone know a solution to the problem apart from telling the client to hit stop first, ejecting and then re-inserting the DVD?
Cheers,
Spookola

I can only tell you what I'd start doing because I don't know what is happening here any more than you do. First I'd buy some other brand -R dvd blanks. Next I'd make some minor change to the DVD SP setup and burn a new set. You should know that burning dvd's on a Mac or PC is not as foolproof as commercially burned dvd's. You CANNOT guarantee compatibility. If you sell 50 copies you WILL find some people that can't play yours because of compatibility issues. For them you can try burning a +R dvd or buy another external burner and try that too. No single solution will guarantee compatibility when burning from a computer and playing on a commercial dvd player. some folks "never have a problem" but in general I think that's because they don't burn that many dvd's for that many people. sooner or later most folks that burn dvd movies on their mac or pc will find somebody that can't read their dvd.

Dvd will play on comp. but not on tv/dvd player? help

Hey,
i just started to learn how to use my mac/iDVD and I burned two DVd's without any issues and they played fine on my regular tv/dvd player. I had a basic image/audio for the background.
I made another DVD with a video for the menu background and more data on it-but it still was under 4.7 Gb of storage..etc. But I went to play it on my tv/dvd player and it says "incorrect disc" and will not read it,yet it will play fine on my Mac.
Any reason why this won't work vs. my other two that burned fine??
Thanks.

Did you burn it as an Audio CD or a Data CD? You may have a home CD player that can play data discs while the car player cannot...

Burned DVD's play on Phillips DVD Player, but not on computer DVD player

Hey Everyone,
I'm burning my reel in DVD STUDIO PRO 4 via MPEG-2 files exported from FCP to Compressor and then brought into DVD Studio Pro 4.
I select BUILD/FORMAT and go through the steps (insert blank DVD, etc.) and when the DVD is spit out of my macbook pro, it works perfectly fine on a DVD Player, but when I insert it back into my macbok, it spins for about 45 seconds and then spits itself right back out.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
NOTE: I have successfully burned other DVD's using TOAST so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
thanks again.
-Steve

CompUsa is not one of the brands often recommended around here, Taiyo Yuden is a good one
Take a look at this thread for info on how to increase compatibility

And this thread regarding media

(Note neither Memorex nor CompUsa top Class media, and may actually be 3rd class or worse depending on the ID)
There was also a report that a new Sony would not play DVD SP discs
Also what is happening? Not playing at all? Bad Playback?

Streaming movie plays perfectly on MAC but not on PC, why?

I have created a streaming movie and put it online. I have installed the latest version of Quicktimne for PC. The movie streams and plays perfectly on my Mac however it does not stream on my PC. It plays on the PC when it has fully downloaded (in the browser using quicktime) but the sound quality is poor - I can hear lots of cackles.
Can anyone help with this please?
Thanks

In addition to Neds suggestions, empty the Safari cache (which should be empty after a clean install).
Goto the Safari Get Info screen (in Finder or in Dock if you have Safari there), click the triangle on languages, and disable those you don't use.
My Safari response time was significantly slowed after the 10.4.5 update, and using the combo updater took care of that. The 10.4.6 combo update is located here.

Me edge animate project works when I test, but not when I publish. Please help.

I feel like this has happened to me in the past, but I just cannot get the thing to work when I post it online. It's just a blank page, all white. I think there might be something in the code of one of the .js files that I need to change.
?? I saw something about the phrase 'use strict' but I can't find that code anywhere.
There must be something I'm forgetting. I put all of the published files up on the server, and I just can't access it. Any help would be seriously appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you share the website link so that we can see what the issue is?

Movie works on mac but not PC...help!

Hi!
Hopefully someone out there can help me...
I am trying to make a video play on a website that I designed. The video will play on a mac, but not a PC. When the user clicks on the link, the video (.mov) should start playing in whatever media player that computer has installed, either quicktime or windows media player. It isn't working on a PC. Maybe if I convert the video file to a windows media file or to a file that is easier read my a PC it would work? I don't know how to convert quicktime files into .wmv files.
help!!!
if you want to see the video, click on the "reel" link of www.williamday.net, then click on "reel" again in the middle of the page.

The problem is your page code (or lack of it).
You are directly linking to the file and bypassing any browser plug-in.
