Mac wont playback DVD it just burnt!?

[Beingkw]

Hi
(This is my first post so if this has been answered elsewhere please direct me to the link.)

I am using DVD2OneX to reduce the size of DVDs to <4.7GB then burning them using TOAST 6. The funny thing is, if I mount the DVD after the process it plays fine but as soon as Ive ejected and reinserted it my mac refuses to recognise the disc [PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-107D]! Spits it back out.
At the same time, it plays fine on my set top box [Pionner DV-525]. Is this normal??

Any advice please?

Are you sure its playing the disc ok the 1st time?(not the files in the VIDEO_TS on the harddrive?)
Try this: if VLC www.videolan.org won't play it then you have a problem..Sometimes the APPLE DVD PLayer is flaky(or at least more 'sensitive' than it need be)..others..?

Thanks.
The first time - it mounts the newly burnt disc in Finder and I can open it in DVD player from there. Its definitely not using the original VIDEO_TS files on the harddrive because I have deleted them and emptied my trash.
I can't play it in VLC because the mac does not even recognise the disc later - ejects the tray before it shows up in Finder etc.

That seems to happen fairly often in the PC world also, but unfortunately, I have no clue why.

You are using UDF DVD-ROM setting in TOAST 6 ( tab called DATA please!)?

[Beingkw]

Yes, DATA tab, DVD-ROM (UDF).

Make sure that you click on the Video area of Toast not the Data DVD section. Then choose DVD video. Make that the video setting NTSC vs. Pal id correct and work from there. There are a few other settings but I haven't used Toast 6 in a while.

sly dude you just contradicted us and posted incorrect information

THE VIDEO TAB is for making a VIDEO CD on a cd surface

DATA DISC and UDF- these are correct for DVD

My apologies to everyone. Since he has a valid Video_TS folder the procedure you describe is correct. After I posted I realized the error. I would have posted sooner but I was doing a bit of investigation to figure out why I remembered using the video tab.

When I first started using Toast 6 it wasn't very reliable for me the procedure you described would crash for some reason. I started pulling the Video_TS folder into the video tab. Toast would complain about a few unrecognized files but burned the disc anyway. (The files it complains about were the ifo and bup files which were re-r=created when the disc was burned)

For me the only downside was the time Toast spent multiplexing the files. I didn't do it often enough bother me and didn't appreciably affect the quality of what I was burning. I doubt using the video tab would solve the initial problem though.
