    Maybe I am reading it wrong, or you did not express yourself right, but from what is written above:

     

        Do NOT share a .mov file and burn it to DVD.

        You need to use the Share to DVD option in FCP X:    File->Share->DVD...

    Does that same DVD play on your mac with DVD Player? I'm guessing not, which would indicate some problem with the burned disc.

    If it does play on your mac, which type of DVD is this? (DVD-R, DVD-RW, etc)

    It would be great if you could tell us what kind of  media you are working with – brand and format/ (example, Verbatim DVD-R).

     

    Also the reason I asked whether you could create a disk image (Output Device: Hard Drive) that played was get an idea whether the encoding was being completed as expected. If you create a disk image, double click to mount it and open DVD Player.
