If you can burn DVD's of any type, you should be good to go. Why isn't it encoding, that should be a function of software and nothing else. Either that or user error.
Maybe a few more details of what you are actually trying to do and with what programs would help.
I always use toast to encode Downloaded movies,I tried to burn movies and once the encoding starts,toast stop responding and freezes,so i tried to burn on disk utility and fail,also i try to burn using other apps and I can't burn any video,seems like my dvd burner or lenses are bad but I would like to see if theres a way to prove it.
I still can see DVDS when I insert em on my iMac,so still reads but doesn't record
