I recently burned a DVD of some pictures in my iPhoto 2 library on my SuperDrive-equipped Titanium PowerBook. The disc took FOREVER to burn and verify (understandable with a 1x burner) and works perfectly in the Finder and in iPhoto post-burn. I have one major problem however: the DVD does not mount in other computers!

On another Titanium (667), this one with a combo drive, the same disc that works in my SD PB gets ejected almost immediately! Other DVDs (even iDVDs) work fine in this computer but it just refuses to mount my iPhoto-burned photo disc. The disc works fine in a combo drive equipped eMac and an iMac. This seems to be something with the combo drive in the other PB.

Is there any way to get this disc to mount on this combo PB? This is very discouraging and I would appreciate any input.

Thanks!

My only thought is the DVD media. I have had similar experiences and after a lot of work, it turned out to be the media I used.
