Since nobody has stepped in to help...

I'm not sure whether it's possible to use Disk Copy to make DVDs which can be read on PCs.

All the postings I've read which speak about cross-platform data DVDs mention using Toast.

If you're using iDVD to make a video DVD I suspect that'll be readable on any PC which can view a rental DVD.

This is off the top of my head, rather than something well-researched. Sorry.

I think you are right, but I have seen some similar posts to this try a quick search or get toast.

as far as i know, apple fixed the bug that prevented windows from reading dvds that are burned in the finder. so you should be able to just drag the files into the dvd and burn them in the finder and windows should be able to read them.
