When I first started using it I found a lot of clients had issues during playback with freezing and skipping, but I discovered this was due to older DVD players. No issues with anyone with an HDMI connected DVD or blu-ray player. I now supply a disclaimer notice with all DVDs to ensure that they have a machine capable of playing them. Have not had a returned DVD soon. Since ElCAPITAN I have had problems plays DVD+-R and have skipping as you have. This has been flagged up to Apple. To date no patch.

my fear with iDVD is that as it is now an unsupported software and i guess that means it could be pulled at anytime making it unstable. There are only free or poor quality replacements.

MMost event producers I hear from have moved their clients away from DVD delivery to jump drives. It allows for much higher quality, and of course as a delivery form is much more widely spread than Blu-ray, the only disc system that offers the kind of HD quality clients are now looking for.

I offer standard def dvd, blu-ray and jump drive for mine. I too am slowly pulling clients away from optical media but there are lots that still like it. If they want it, I'll accommodate.

Have a look at: http://www.dvdstyler.org/en/ It's free!

It's the only other DVD software other than DVD Studio Pro I've seen for Mac that includes scripting (although I understand Encore eventually had scripting as well).

There's "a ton" of free authoring software for Windows, DVD and BD. Do you have Parallels? (Windows runs better on a Mac 😉 ) No sense throwing good money after dying tech.
