mac burned dvd-r video won't play on panasonic dmp-bdt110.why?please-gerry
maverick 10.9.1
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
dvd will play windows7.
looking into divx
have huge pics library but presume mac produced dvd-r won't play on blueray player/tv setup either.
asked panasonic today -will look at possible newer model positive result but don't think this to be reason

What application are you using to burn the video DVD and what format is the DVD?
finder-"new burn folder" video copied from desktop.could use nikkon view nx2 ,instead of iphoto,pics from d3200 recent years but some from 50 years ago digitised on ION PICS TO SD CARD.
philips dvd-r 16x speed vitesse ,ultimate reliability and playback - which takes format from mac os
apple store this morning -reckons divx would work but i think from what he said he was very unsure.
from what i see in community comments - dvd-r manufacturer matters a lot - but it shouldn't.
do we all qualify for degree if we solve these apple related problems?
lol,

It is probably the brand of disk that you are using. DVD players are finicky. Try some other disks.
vids and pics burned from window
vista
xp
7
from different cameras and camcorders on a variety of dvd-r or dvd-rw play on different players and recorder/players.
pics /slides and vids taken over period of 40 years and processed through hp 3310 all-in-one burned on winows variety of comps-dell,hp,etc-all worked.
problem seems to me to be apple mac related - though blue ray manufacturers should take steps to make life easier.
saw a software program that says can convert to ensure will play.
will find a method that works if concentration doesn't waver and move on to something else
thank you for comment

First, use only quality media such as Verbatim.
And, burn at slow speeds - 2x - in order to avoid burn errors.
Also, in order to view a video on a DVD player, you need to burn it with authoring (burn) software such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, or Burn (free).
You also mentioned that the DVD could not be viewed in a Bluray player? Did you check the specs of the player to see if it will play regular DVDs?
Lastly, I've been burning video and photo slideshows for years on Macs and they've been played in many different DVD players - all without problems. So, make sure you have the right application, the right workflow, and that the DVD player will play your DVDs. Macs and Windows are two different OS's and things need to be done differently on each one.
Additional thought:
According to this:
Discs recorded and finalized on DVD video recorders/cameras.
it does not mention computers......
