Well... I guess I scared myself when it wouldn't work in Parallels...
I have a DVD that was already burned on a PC that I want to dupe. I
have an Intel MacBook running 10.5.5 on which I duped the DVD using
Disk Utility.
I tried the new DVDs in Parallels running XP to see if they would read
and they didn't. When I looked on the Internet I found the issues
around DVD-R vs DVD+R as well as the issues around MPEG2 not being
readable on most PCs. I didn't find much consensus on a Mac solution...
I assumed, correctly or not, that if the DVDs did not work on
Parallels then in all likelihood they would not work on any PC. I'm
preparing to send the duped DVDs to a prospective client who is
located in another city and I don't want them to call me to say they
couldn't read the DVDs...
Of course the easy way is to take them downtown and have a service
dupe the original but I want to do it on my Mac, to prove a point if
nothing else...

You didn't mention the parallels part, nor what it is you are trying
to make, not to mention operating from the windows side. Several
levels of complication here.
"Didn't work in XP in Parallels" means that either windows,Parallels
or whatever app you are using in windows lacks drivers or knowledge
of your internal drive. Welcome to the PC world.
If it's video, can't you just make the thing on the Mac side?
Thanks, Stephen... I'm using Panasonic DVD-R blanks and they didn't
work in XP in Parallels. A good brand might be any of the more
expensive brands? So, if I use an expensive DVD-R with iDVD,
instead of Disk Utility) I will likely get a PC compatible DVD? I
can't target my audience other than to say they might not be using
Vista... Jim
