[MacDV] Playing a Mac generated DVD on Windows XP

[Gerhard Kuhn]

I believe your PC DVD-rom is at fault.  I have had similar experiences 
with 3 or year old PC lap-tops they either don't play them or play them 
but have poor performance (sound drop outs, jerky video etc.).  Compaq 
Pllls with Toshiba optical drives have spotty performance with -R 
media.  Probably the same performance issues would be present on 
desk-tops that are one or two years older than that.
