AAW dvd's

Hey everybody,

Just got the new set of dvd's from AAW and tried to play them on my Mac (osx 10.6.8) and they won't play. Other folks in the club with Windows machines seem to do fine. Any ideas?

Thanks,

bill

Not sure, but my old DVD on Bowl Coring With the McNaughton, was made at the time when people were just starting to play their discs on computers instead of the TV disc players. They would play on some computers, and not on others. Part of why I put it up on You Tube.

Do other DVDs play flawlessly? If not, then it could be your DVD drive.

Do you have access to an other Mac with same OS to try?

I would think by now the nonsense of incompatible DVD burning would be sorted out especially if they are commercially produced for marketing. IF they are copies made by somebody else then they may not have been finalized properly or something else.

They were purchased from AAW, so should be right. Other dvd.s play just fine, so maybe this batch was not finished correctly....was rather hoping that some other folks might have had a similar experience and possibly figured out the problem.

How old are they, or when were they made. My McNaughton video is maybe 6 years old. On some computers, it would play fine, on some just the title page would come up, but it was inactive. On some you could go to library and play it chapter by chapter but with no headings on the chapters. Old school....
