Bear with me here, I've been at this a while:

I have a problem with a DVD that I've composed. I'll list the
steps I've taken and the ways that I've tried to troubleshoot the
problem. The basic problem is that the DVD's that I burn with
iDVD are only readable on my family's macs (powerbooks and
ibooks) and not on the commercial DVD machines or the token
PC in the house.

But wait! I did rip a movie image from a commercial DVD and burn
a copy with the same mac. The copy of the movie plays fine in all
machines, which leads me to believe that I'm doing something stupid
with either Final Cut or iDVD. I no longer believe that I have an
incompatibility problem with CD-R and my DVD players.

The setup: Powerbook 1.25GHz, 80G drive, 1G mem, iDVD 4.0.1,
Final Cut Express 1.0.1, OS X 10.3.4, and a superdrive.

What I did: pull the DV movie into the mac using Final Cut. Cut the
movie into four segments and save each segment as a Final Cut
movie. Compose the DVD with iDVD 3 and the 'Western' theme.
I put one small 10 second segment inside the motion window and the
other three 10 - 20 minute segments as menu items (no one would
want to watch the three segments together).

Result: Coaster (although it works great in all the macs)

What I tried: Upgrading to iDVD 4.0 (burn coaster), 4.0.1 (burn
coaster), delete encoded assets in iDVD and save project (burn
coaster), create new project in iDVD 4.0.1 (burn coaster), turn
motion off (burn coaster), open Final Cut movies and save as
Quicktime DV - create new iDVD 4.0.1 project as before (burn
coaster).

Please help!
