For mac, Nero doesn't exist. Roxio Toast is the very best burner program there ever was on mac. In fact it existed on mac before Nero even existed. Toast Titanium 7 is the latest version for mac OSX. For OS 9, you'd need Toast 5.

I'd recommend burning the dvd's at minimum speed. And be sure your set top dvd player can play the dvd format you burn to. Some can only play dvd-r or dvd+r. So check which ones it can play.

By the time I went to Nero and found it did not work on MAC, and came back to ask; Lord of the Rings already caught that!

LOR's, FYI that is actually what I was trying to use Toast Titanium 7. (I have used this a million times for regualr CD's but first time today for DVD)

I have file dowloaded, drag and drop in the Video section, and always gives me a "CD-ROM XA or Audio tracks cannot be written to DVD" error msg. AM I still being stupid here? Is is some simple setting change in the formats or media section perhaps?

This is just SO great guys, THANKS- for all your help!
