After the last update anytime i burn a movie playback on DVD - i get a green screen and no audio.

On older machines it works fine, and i had to replace some files using the old mac - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1271686/ - to correct a previous issue regarding the update.

Any ideas on what files may be causing this new issue.. I can very easily replace them just don't know where to look for idvd related files..

iDVD only burns standard resolution dvds:
To record moving pictures, DVD-Video uses either MPEG-2 compression at up to 9.8 Mbit/s (9,800 kbit/s) or MPEG-1 compression at up to 1.856 Mbit/s (1,856 kbit/s).
The following formats are allowed for MPEG-2 video[7]:
At 25 frames per second (commonly used in regions with 50 Hz image scanning frequency):
720 × 576 pixels (same resolution as D-1)
704 × 576 pixels
352 × 576 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard)
352 x 288 pixels
At 29.97 frames per second (commonly used in regions with 60 Hz image scanning frequency):
720 × 480 pixels (same resolution as D-1)
704 × 480 pixels
352 × 480 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard)
352 x 240 pixels

It used to work and works fine on other Macs.. had my coworker burn a 1920x1080 one step DVD - no issues. I, on the otherhand, now have to convert to 640x360 just to get it on a dvd.. seems like whatever converted it doesn't work anymore.
