Thanks everyone for your advice... I tried running the copy on a real
PC running XP and it worked fine and, since it also worked on my
Panasonic TV recorder, I'll roll the dice and send it and hope their
PC can run it too... Jim

Jim,
Don't assume that just cause it won't work on parallels that it
won't work on a PC. Parallels is touchy. I have to put the disk in
right at start up in order to get Parallels to recognize it.
I do burn DVDs on the Mac for PC usage so things should be just
fine. Just make sure it is a full burn and not a rewritable.

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...

You didn't mention the parallels part, nor what it is you are
trying to make, not to mention operating from the windows side.
Several levels of complication here.
"Didn't work in XP in Parallels" means that either
windows,Parallels or whatever app you are using in windows lacks
drivers or knowledge of your internal drive. Welcome to the PC
world.
If it's video, can't you just make the thing on the Mac side?
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... Jim
