I have found the solution to my problem and it has nothing to do with firmware or the quality of blank dvd?s. It was as simple as sticking in a blank dvd at the right time.
I was burning from within toast 6, so when I pressed the record button it told me to stick in a blank dvd for burning, it was at this stage I inserted a blank dvd into the computer, the recorder settings dialog box would come up and ask me how fast I wanted to record, the options I got included options for the CD burner as well, all the way up to 56x. So I selected the ?Best? option. This was painfully slow (1 hour) no matter what I did, even selecting 4x or 8x dvd burn manually didn?t make a bit of difference.
So I thought I would stick in my blank dvd right from the word go, before I even opened toast, this is what made all the difference. Once I inserted the blank dvd a message came up saying ?You inserted a blank DVD. Choose what to do from the pop-up menu? I pressed the ignore button. Then I opened toast, selected the dvd-rom (udf) button, dragged over my video_ts and audio_ts folders , named my disc (all in caps) and pressed the burn button, at this stage I got the ?You inserted a blank DVD. Choose what to do from the pop-up menu? message again, once again I pressed ignore and selected my speed as ?4x? (it was 4x blank dvd) and pressed the record button. It burned a 4.4GB dvd in about 15 minutes instead of 1hour, and it played fine in my DVD player.
I know its a long story, but I just thought I would share it with you in case other people who have recently purchased an emac 1.25ghz with superdrive might run into the same problem.
