There's no such thing as a Windows DVD format. There are, however, four different types of media: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW. Windows PCs tend to create the "+" types and Apple standardized on the "-" type long before that. Drives designed for one type of drive cannot always read discs created on the other type of drive. That's what you're running into. Suggest you ask the vendor to burn a new copy in a format you can use. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> Every day is payday in a labor of love. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
