When you insert the DVD that you just burned into the Mac, does it play? I mean does
DVDPlayer open automatically and starts playing the DVD?
What version of MTR are you using?
And, if you are using PopCorn 2 for compression why don't you just let it burn the DVD? It is
the same as Toast.
Edit: What Mac do you have?

The dvd does not play. I am not totoally sure what version it is...
when i went to the mac store yesterday i told the guy what i wanted my mac to be able to do and he told me i would need the macbook 2.0 white... that is really all i know..i don't know computers well at all...
i wondered the same thing about having toast and popcorn but the guy said that when i purchased toast i would need a handbrake and to go to macupdate and type that in and it would walk me through...it did for another 50 bucks....i am feeling totally screwed right now and i am not sure what to do..i just want to be able to upload and burn and i am ready to pull out my hair..

How did you burn the DVD in Toast? Which tab and setting did you use?
Also Toast 7 has already PopCorn 2 built-in so having both is pointless. If you bought Toast at a store go to Roxio's website and download the 7.1 update.

Hi, i was reading a post from someone else and you seem to know what you are talking about w/ burning dvd's. I was just wondering if you could help me, I downloaded mac the ripper but i need the toast or popcorn so you say, but are there any free versions of either on the internet because i can't seem to find them anywhere. I would really appreciate it if ya helped me out, thanks so much!

I used the data tab that popped up when i inserted the disc but i am not too sure about the setting...i believe the default setting was best...i am wondering now if i should use copy..the book says video is for using DivX not sure what that is...also i did get the new update for 7.1 but i am still not having any luck...

You burned the DVD as data. That is why it does not play on stand alone players.
Once you have ripped the DVD with MTR to your HD, open Toast , select the Video tab, in the options drawer select Formats/DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS and check "Fit-to-DVD video compression" if your Video_TS folder is bigger than 4.3GB and you want to burn it to a single layer disc, drag the Video_TS folder that MTR produced into the Toast window, insert a blank DVD and click the big red button.

toast 7
you need to do under video-->dvd-video from video_ts folder.
use only good qaulity media.. verbatims..
@natony...
that would be great but then you need to buy xp, and Nero.. more money.
