    i'm new to mac world, i recently ripped a dvd using Mac The Ripper and burned it using Burn X. the ripped DVD plays excellent on my standalone DVD player, but my dvd drive can't recognize the DVD when i try to play it on my macbook. i have a MATSHITADVD-R UJ-857 DVD Drive, and i used a blank DVD+RW. any ideas? this may seem a small problem, but i'm still making my first baby mac steps here.

    I suspect it's the "RW" disc you used. Try burning to just a "-R"
    for single-layer and "+R" for dul-layer discs.

    RW discs give my Mac apps fits.
