Possible incompatibility with Superdrives and CaptyDVD

[stacian]

I have been using CaptyDVD to burn some DVDs of Roswell onto DVD and also Dune from the SciFi channel. After creating the DVD, I was excited and put it into the superdrive to play it. The menu/title with background music played flawlessly however when I chose to actually play the movie, it only played the upper half of the video, leaving the bottom half blank.

So, I brought it upstairs to my DVD player, popped it in and it played both menu AND the movie perfectly. So, I brought it down to my iBook and put it in there. Also played perfectly. I'm running OSX 10.2.4 on both machines, with Apple DVD player version 3.2. With that, I start scratching my head... So I try copying over the DVD player from my iBook to replace the DVD player on my iMac in case there was something funky going on with the DVD player on my iMac. That was a no go... still plays only half the video

So, I got on the phone with Apple Tech Support. They tell me to make a new user so I get a whole new environment to see if that will fix it. Nope. So then I do a whole new install of my OS using the archive previous installation and preserve users function. That doesn't work either. So, they tell me to bring it into the Apple Store to see if the problem also persists on another machine.

So, the saga continues.. I will visit the Apple Store in a few days. The said if it doesn't work, then that might mean an incompatibility between CaptyDVD burned disks and superdrives. In that case, any one else out there with that combination experiencing similar problems? Feedback would be much appreciated!

I did forget to tell them however that I played the disk using another Mac OSX DVD player.. forget the name of it, and the video played fine... so perhaps it is a problem with Apple DVD Player huh?

I rarely play my DVD-Rs in the Superdrive, once I burn them. I usually want to play them on my TV thru my Sony 315.

FYI: I was alerted to some other Capty threads at:
