I'm in the UK, using Toast 6 Titanium on a G5 to burn video DVDs for viewing on American DVD players. However, they are not recognised by those players (the people have tried various machines), so are returned to me.

I convert the video files from PAL to NTSC format using recognised conversion software, so Toast happily burns them to NTSC DVDs, so what else should I check when producing these disks? Am I doing something wrong?

This shouldn't be a problem. What settings are you using in Toast?
I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!

In the Advanced tab:

DVD-Video

NTSC
Video Quality: High
Auto-Play Items ON
Add Original Photos OFF
Add Data Content ON
Create DVD Menu OFF

I also always use the Verify Data and Buffer Underrun Prevention options.
Audio Write Mode is DAO.

Maybe I should add that my own DVD recorder/player can show the DVDs on my TV, but only after changing the format from PAL to Auto Detect (or something to that effect), so obviously they have 'burned' OK.
