Why do I get a green cast on a burned DVD?

I am in the process of trying to burn a DVD. The colors all look fine in iMovie and iDVD preview but when I burn the DVD many of the colors wash out and there is a green cast to the picture. Any ideas on how to fix this?

MacBook, 2.0 GHz, 1 GB ram, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Do you think it could be anything to do the DVD
Player that could be involved? A messed up pref
file? Maybe deleting the DVD Player preference

file

might be worth a try.

We did have one case a while ago who had one of video
cables disconnected to his TV set with color
problems.

We need to hear more from Rick.

BINGO!

I had just moved my TV to a new stand. The red cable was not connected properly. As soon as I fixed that the color was fine.

Thank you so much for your help in getting me through this.

Sue,

... sometimes it's the little things that get you!

I guess we all need to remember the first step in electronic troubleshooting is to ask - "Is everything plugged in?"

I agree that Fred should get a big star! I felt so stupid when I found out what the problem was but also very relieved that my new MacBook was functioning well. 🙂
