I have a Panasonic VCR-DVD unit and my Mac mini Superdrive can read the DVD-R recordings it produces.
Make sure you "finalize" the DVD-R's. In the case of the Panasonic, it can play material recorded on non-finalized DVD-R's, but the DVD-R's won't play in Mac mini (it doesn't read them at all) until the DVD-R is finalized in the Panasonic DVD player. Scott I picked up a Samsung combination VCR-DVR to transfer old VHS home videos to DVDs. It worked, but only sorta. The transfer quality is OK, and the Samsung can play them, but none of my PCs recognize them--they all say "Insert disk" when I try to do anything. This means I can't edit or make backups. Support queries to Samsung remain unanswered. I'm no video expert, so does anyone have any ideas? I used the DVD-Rs that came with the unit (yes, the PC drives do support DVD-R). Would a different format make a difference? Or what?
