It shouldn't play in the iBook's DVD Player app (you'll need vlc or
MacVCD X to play the disc in the iBook).

The files on it aren't "right". You burned it in Toast Lite (whatever
that is) as a data CD. The image files need to be loaded into Toast as
tracks in a Multitrack CD-ROM XA disc. In Toast Titanium, that is under
the "Other" popup menu button.
