[G4] DVD Studio

[Craig Turner]

Hi Lavode,

As a relatively new user to DVDSP myself, and someone who has had this 
happen to me, I would suggest that you try the following:

First do a Build to your hard drive. Then open the DVD player, go to 
File menu and Open, and search for the folder you saved. It is 
important that you quit DVDSP before you do this. You are looking for 
the Video folder inside the project folder, the TS_xxx, I think it is 
called.

Play the DVD in the player. If you can access it all from your hard 
drive then your burn is more likely to be successful. It is possible 
that the Phillips player won't work, but I'd check into this step 
first.

Also, I have found that burning from Toast Titanium to my Firewire DVD 
burner has been much more consistent than burning from within DVDSP, 
for what that is worth.

HTH,
Craig Turner
