Thanks, Stephen... I'm using Panasonic DVD-R blanks and they didn't
work in XP in Parallels. A good brand might be any of the more
expensive brands? So, if I use an expensive DVD-R with iDVD, instead
of Disk Utility) I will likely get a PC compatible DVD? I can't
target my audience other than to say they might not be using Vista...

Buy a drive that records DVD+R if you must. But this is totally
moot. Yours is not a PC/MAC issue, but a choice of blank disc
formats and/or video formatting. Both disc types will play on any
platform.
Why not just buy quality DVD-R blanks that the mac optical drive is
designed for. The +/- is usually only a factor on the record side.
Also the + discs seem to be losing market share.
The FORMAT of the DATA is the other factor. Usually burning programs
make a PC/MAC compatible video or data disc. Making a video disc
that plays everywhere is handled by video burning software like DVD
studio pro or iDVD, even Toast.
Also not all players are alike. Use software that targets your
output needs. Often there are shareware or open source solutions
like VLC that play anything.

Hi Folks... I know there is a problem creating a PC-compatible DVD
on the Mac. The Mac creates a DVD-R MPEG2 file while the PC reads
a DVD+R DVD. Is there an elegant solution to this with some magic
piece of software or am I relegated to about a six step workaround
every time I want to do this? I can't find anything searching the
archives.
Thanks...
Jim Carwardine,
