Get Mac the Ripper - rip the dvd you wrote with idvd to your hard drive
- then use the Toast option to make a dvd from the video_ts folder created
by Mac the Ripper - just drop the ripped file/s onto the Toast window. Works
every time for me. If for any reason the files are too big for a 4.7 GB
blank there's an application called dvd2onex which will recompress the files
to fit with minimum loss of quality.
