Christopher, I have tried burning a disk image onto the desktop from iDVD and burning it in toast and it worked. The quality was fine and it played in 3 different players. I used verbatim and tdk disks. Burnt at x1 speed. I copied the disk image onto an external hard drive and have recently wanted to get more copies of this dvd. I copied the disk image back onto the desktop and could not copy it. I tried toast, I tried disk utility and finder. I decided I would test my drive, so I filled a dvd with "stuff" and burnt that in finder - no problems!! Can't see why the VIDEO_TS files could be burnt and played without any trouble and now they can't!!! So Christopher it may work for you, and it may not. Lesson for me here was to try with dvd-rw discs, and I wouldn't have wasted 5 discs yesterday!!! Good luck with it Merelyn Davi
