Ok guys.
tried all of this..but.....
tested in Apple Dvd player and all worked fine. Tried to burn to a dvd-rw and kept getting error. I presume it is due to the media (dvd-rw) Funny enough I could not erase anything from the dvd-rw as well. Should I be using dvd-r media instead? According to Apple office where I am. dvd-rw can cause hassles. I just want to get this all sorted, then I know in which direction to go and put my fcp media on dvd. If it takes dvd-r media only, then fine, I will get a few, but dont want to go on burning coasters. Thanks for your help.
