I just burned .mov and .wmv in data tab, and put DVd in my Standalone player and it said "no disc" -- anyway to see these files on my TV? thanks.

DVD players require a very specific "authoring" process to be playable. You can read about the format of a video DVD at http://www.videohelp.com/dvd

Toast 6 can author a video DVD from your .mov files (and many other types of video) using the DVD video setting in the Video window. However, I don't think it will work with the .wmv files. You might find advice for what to do with .wmv files at the Mac forum at videohelp.com.

Note that with Toast 6 you can fit a maximum of 90 minutes of video to a video DVD when Toast does the encoding. Toast 7 can do much more but it requires OS 10.3.9 or later.

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!
