Question

dvd stops playing about 10 minutes into the film

Hello
I have a strange problem with my dvd player. I have recorded some videos (via Tivo) onto DVD's. When I go to play them on my laptop (Powerbook G4 17 inch) everything works fine then suddenly the video stops. I'm on 10.3.9. Anyone have a clue as to why this happens??? Is this a problem related to pather??
thanks for shedding any light on this 🙂

Patricia, I think you might find that your problem is media related.
More often then not it is dirty, or scratched discs.
This may sound silly but the Combo, and Superdrive's are very very picky about media of any kind.
I have expierianced a fingerprint on a CD, or DVD will cause the problem you describe. and after wiping it off the disc plays fine...
This may or may not be your problem.
Always make sure that you verify your burn, this will ensure your project will work fine...cheers...Don
