I'm trying to find out why some dvd's I've burned will play on a tv's built in player and some will not. They were all burned on the same brand of discs. I can view all of them on my mac but only some on the tv?
Would that mean the discs are bad? I admit to using inexpensive HP brand, but could that many on a spool really be bad?
Could it be my mac's built in burner?
I was originally burning dvd's from idvd, but suddenly the quality of the videos were awful. I was copying quicktime movies that I had put together for instructional dvds. I thought maybe the quicktime movies had degraded? Had something happened to my burner?
So luckily I had saved all the movies in raw format so I went back to them and started over using toast (for the first time) to create the dvd's. I'm pretty sure I saved them all as disc images, but if for some reason I didn't would that make a difference in them playing on a 'player'?
Am I missing something.......at this point I'm so confused.
