Ok! So I figured out that the files weren't showing up because I burnt those files onto the disc after I already burned files onto it. Tried burning a fresh disc and they showed up!
However it looks like this version of quicktime doesn't have a true full screen view where it shows nothing but the video. I can make it "Fill Screen" which just maximizes the video, but I can still see the menu bar, player controls etc. Can anyone recommend a video player that will work that has a true full screen view?
