Don't just throw a MPEG2 file in a folder and burn; you need to set
it up to be a DVD-video disk, then it will play anywhere, especially
on component DVD systems. If you can make one that plays on a
standard DVD video player, it should play on computers.
Toast and Dragon Burn have been able to do this for years.

Well... I guess I scared myself when it wouldn't work in
Parallels... I have a DVD that was already burned on a PC that I
want to dupe. I have an Intel MacBook running 10.5.5 on which I
duped the DVD using Disk Utility.
I tried the new DVDs in Parallels running XP to see if they would
read and they didn't. When I looked on the Internet I found the
issues around DVD-R vs DVD+R as well as the issues around MPEG2 not
being readable on most PCs. I didn't find much consensus on a Mac
solution...
I assumed, correctly or not, that if the DVDs did not work on
Parallels then in all likelihood they would not work on any PC. I'm
preparing to send the duped DVDs to a prospective client who is
located in another city and I don't want them to call me to say they
couldn't read the DVDs...
Of course the easy way is to take them downtown and have a service
dupe the original but I want to do it on my Mac, to prove a point if
nothing else...
