[MacDV] Re: Re making a cross platform dvd

[cathal mc carthy]

thanks Jim
  The dvd I burned on a mac will not play on a dell pc running win xp.
What software should the pc have installed on it to play a dvd made on 
a  mac
what is the solution?
Could this be put with the dvd in order that pc users could play same 
the dvd.
Thanks so much for the help
