I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it anyway:
Does anyone know of any reason why a DVD I recently burned on my PowerBook (as a data backup disk, not a movie) can be read by all of the Macs I've tried it on except one: two eMacs, my PowerBook and a G5 tower can read it, but it can't be read by one other computer, a G5 tower that is identical to the other G5. I've checked system profiler to make sure that G5 has a SuperDrive, and it does. The G5 that can't read the DVD just spins it up for a little while -- based on the sound the drive makes, it doesn't sound like it's ever reaching the higher speed spin that is needed -- and then the tray pops out. No error message. Is this likely just a case of one drive being finicky? The DVD is a Memorex brand DVD-R. It seems like I'm running across more and more cases of one computer being able to read a CD or DVD that another, identical computer can't read. What's with that?
