I have been attempting to create some family dvd's using Imovie and Idvd. Everything seems to work just fine until I insert the burned DVD into a dvd player. Several problems occur:
1. if it is recognized it skips and acts as though it's been scratched
2. mostly the dvd's are not recognized with a msg "wrong disc"
3. occasionally the dvd is recognized, begins to play, then freezes and is no longer recognized
4. sometimes I get a msg "error 50" or "error code"
What am I doing wrong.
I have a macmini running mac osx v 10.6.8, processor 2.26ghz intel core 2 duo, memory 2gb 1067 mhz ddr3, my internal dvd drive is a pioneer dvd-rw dvrts08, firmware q81f.
I really need help. I have a family reunion coming up soon and I am responsible for creating the family dvd. I need to make sure that I can make the dvd's using photos and music and themes from either Imovie or Idvd and have them available for the family to take home and play on their home dvd players.
I've read forums where this problem existed in the early 2000's through 2003 but nothing recent. That is except for me.
I'm new to Mac and so I could be doing something wrong. I have changed the burn speed from maximum to 8x, then 4x but without any success. I have changed the dvd media from dvd-r to dvd+r and again no success. I've used dual layer dvd's -r but again no success.
What else can I do. Does anyone have any suggestions?
