iDVD (apple application) WONT PLAY IN DVD PLAYER, ONLY IN PS3?

ddti

I burned a slide show with music onto a DVD+R blank disc. It appears to be successful as in DOES play in several Play Station 3 units, but will NOT play in any dvd player or computer. It is so frustrating & the dvd is a gift for someone so this is very time sensitive!! :(
What could be wrong? Do I need to do something different in finalizing the completion of the burn? I have heard to maybe try a DVD-R?? But the video is on there as we have watched in on a playstation, how can I get it to play on a dvd player or computer??? Again, I am using an apple mac book pro with iDVD application to burn the dvd. THANKS SO MUCH!!

Answer
To insure compatibility you need to use a DVD-R disc burned no faster than 2x and you MUST FINALIZE! Only computers recognize non-finalized discs. Finalizing with verify will make the disc DVD player compatible.

What to do with HD DVD players?

It is not really a question; it is more like a challenge. Now that HD DVD is no longer, someone should crate a website were all the technical people and software engineers will try to find another uses and applications for the existing units sold till today. Sort off like what they did for YUGO car. People began to build different things in to it like piano, Jacuzzi etc. Toshiba will be helpful by releasing the code to the public and put some monetary reward. Perhaps wee can see another âLENUX DVDâ Your opinion please.

I agree with TV Guy. I bought an HD-DVD player before Christmas. I just plan on using it for the HD-DVD movies I own and as an upscaling DVD player for the hundred DVDs I already own. Given the number of free movies that I got and how good my existing DVDs look with it compared to my old DVD player, I'll just hold out for awhile until the price of Blu-ray players comes down a bit more before rushing out. Once they hit about $200, it'll have cost me no more for the HD-DVD player and Blu-ray player "then" as it costs for a Blu-ray player "today" ($399).

The HD-DVD situation is not like the LaserDisc situation from a decade ago where LaserDisc players really only played LaserDiscs and often didn't even play CDs.

Sorry, not really interested in the ideas of how to cannibalize a perfectly good upscaling DVD player that also happened to play HD-DVD.
