I recently upgraded to Toast 11 with the BluRay Plugin. I am burning H.264 files to DVD media via my Mac's redlaser Superdrive, for playback on Blu Ray Players. I was able to burn a 4gb video onto a DVD-R, and it plays back on my Samsung BD-P1600 player, and it looks great! I then tried to burn a 5gb video file (same settings as the previous video) to a DVD+R DL (double layer 8.7gb). The burn appears to work perfectly and toast verifies the Disc. But when I put the disc in my Samsung player, it says "unable to read disc." I tried playing the disc on my mac with the Roxio Player, and it works.
So I am thinking the problem is with my BD player. But before I go out and buy some DVD-R DL discs and test those, I thought I would check here. Has anyone had issues with DVD+R DL from a mac superdrive? Or is it probably my BD player which is not able to recognize the DVD+R DL?
