Hey everyone, I have a blank DVD that was burned and when I put it in my G5 it will not pop up on my desktop. The DVD is burned I know that. I can hear it start to spin once its in the drive. But nothing happens. Any ideas on what's going on? The DVD has been burned twice on 2 different computers so I know its not the DVDs. Please help! Thanks

yea but that shouldnt matter should it? ive done that before and its been fine. is there any chance my dvd reader is not working properly? this sucks because I need to do a slideshow and the images on the dvd come to about 2 gigs. id hate to burn a ton of cds just because the dvd wont read ya know?

Well, on Toast 8 there is an option to burn for Mac only or Mac and PC, so it must matter. Do you have a large USB Flash Drive or external hard drive you can use to get the data over to the Mac?
 
ok ill check into that. ah yes, my external hard drive. u know, i never even thought about bringing that into work and using that to transfer the media. excellent. thanks man!
