When I go to share and select DVD, FCP burns a disc that can't be played back. The iMac DVD player pops a message in the player window that the disc is not supported. Apparently FCP is not creating an .iso file to burn to the DVD. Any suggestions?
iMac, iOS 9.0.2

The disc mounts. The disc is a brand new DVD-R 16X. I can burn other discs that are .iso using the Finder "Burn" option and it works fine. I have selected the proper drive in FCP and the burn occurs and completes and "finishes" but when I try to playback the DVD on the iMac using the DVD option, I get a warning at the top of the screen that says "Unsupported Disc. Cannot play." It appears that the only way I can burn a disc that will play back on both Mac and Pc may be to purchase some DVD software that will create an .iso file and then use the Finder "Burn" option to create the DVD.
YOu did not answer the question about the disc contents. Please post a screenshot of the contents of the burned disc.
I can't give you a screen shot of the disc contents as the iMac can't read the disc. If I look at the disc file on a PC I can see the "AUDIO_TS AND VIDEO_TS" files but the Mac won't read the disc to even let me see what's on the disc. By the way, I am using a brand new blank disc.
You can mount the disc right? You can see the contents. What's in the VIDEO_TS folder? What you described looks correct. Not sure why you can't take a screenshot of what you're seeing. Does the DVD Player application open? If not, open the DVD Player application and point it at the disc.
A .iso is a type of disk image. You don't need disk image if you burn directly to disc. You don't actually burn the .iso file to the disc, just it's contents. .iso is not used by FCP or in most cases on Macs, which use .img disk images primarily.
BTW what software version are you using? What OS?
To answer your second question first, I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 and Version 10.2-2 final Cut Pro X.
The only way that I am able to give you the following information is by putting the disc in a PC. The program plays fine on the PC and I can see the files in the PC. I have tried using the DVD Play application on the MAC but that is where I get the "Unsupported disc" message. Here are the files in the Video_TS file:
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
Again these files came from the disc played on a PC.
SO the disc doesn't mount at all on the Mac? The disc seems to be fine. The problem sounds as if it's in your disc player. Can you play anything else?
Yes, I thought about that and checked with several other discs and they played fine. Movies and discs that I have previously burned on other burners rather than the iMac. I'm at a loss to figure it out. I hate to buy a software program to create the DVD but that may be the only way for now.
I can't burn a DVD from FCP that will play back.
