i am having issues with my macbook recognizing my dvd's. now i am going to be completely honest with you, these are legal backups of dvd's that i have made. they are for my personal use only and are made in case anything happens to the original dvd. so i thought it was the dvd's initially so i tried them out on another dvd player and they played successfully. therefore it is most likely an issue with the macbook. i tried some original dvd's i have on hand (gone is 60 seconds and paperclips) and both of them work on my macbook and dvd player. this is very frustrating that my legal backups work on most dvd players and not my macbooks. maybe something is wrong that it does not recognize the format. any thought?

did you happen to save the dvds as ts_folders? if so, open dvd player, do: apple O
find the ts_folder on the disk (it HAS to be the ts_folder. the folder with the dvd name doesn't cut it)
press the play button and it should work.

Give people a chance to read the thread and respond. Asking every 30 minutes is ridiculous and insane.
