Burning DVD in Lion Problems. Keep getting REGION ERRORS in SONY DVD PLAYER @ playback. Settings correct. Leopard burns fine with all media. Lion does not with TOAST. DVDSTYLER burns a readable disk.

I have tried several types of media in a brand new (less than 2 months old) 27" iMac running the latest version of Lion. It will not burn a standalone DVD player readable disk. I am in North America and buring in NTSC format. Settings are set properly. Buring at BEST speed - states its burning at 3x. I have tested SONY printable DVD's +R and Verbatim non printable -R disks in Lion with Roxio Toast 8 & 10. No luck. DVDSTYLER burns a readable disk, but not realy happy about the look and functionality.

I am getting REGION LIMITATION errors in the SONY and other stand alone DVD Players.

Disk plays in XBox 360 and laptop PC also.

I am set to region 1.

AS I stated, DVDSTYLER does burn a readable disk, the problem seems to be with TOAST and LION ?

My old 21" iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 has no problems with burning. Any media, Toast 8, disks perform just fine.

Any suggestions ?

My only solution is to do the editing of movies I need to do on the 27" and transfer them to the 21" for burning.

lame

Or use the sub par DVDSTYLER program.

acceptable but disappointing.

ideas ?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

No problems here using toast 10.0.2 and Lion 10.7.3.

I use imation -R discs, the non-printable kind. I label them with a sharpie. Coasters are extremely rare. Perhaps try imation and see how that works. Also, maybe it's your dvd players. The older players have more trouble reading the discs. I never had any luck with verbatim discs. I've used sony DL discs on occasion (successfully).

SONY DVD player is brand spankin new.

Have not tried Imation disks.

Its just puzzling that Leopard and Toast 8 produces a DVD where as Lion and Toast 8 produces a coaster.

I tried not printiable Verbatims. Same result.

Need printables for the projects that I do.

Appreciate the suggetsions.

Will be methodically dilligent and post any results here.

any help from any others would be appreciated.

Solved my own problem by trying AIMERSOFT DVDCREATOR.

No burn issues

actually like it better than Toast for what I do.

So for me... for whatever reason... Toast is well.... Toast
