I have a Powerbook G5. I copied a VHS tape to a DVD-R; it plays fine on my Panosonic DVD player.
My laptop says the disk is empty. Did I miss a step when I recorded the DVD? Is it proprietary to Panasonic? I can't find any info on Apple site. Thanks for your help.

I have this problem with DVDs recorded on a standalone recorder. It seems that they are meant to be played in standalone players.

To put this simply,.. some DVD players have this problem. A DVD will act differently on different Players. For example I had trouble with a DVD I bought and my uncle tried it on about 7 different ypes of DVD players,.. it played on two (it was not burnt).
I think the - is newer. It's posible your DVD player doesn't support some part of your Burnt DVD (who knows what) maybe even just anything burnt. You might want to update the DVD player on your Powerbook and try your DVD again,.. maybe there will be updates that will fix it.

Your laptop doesnot have the required codecs. Download "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack" from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm. Install it and your laptop will be able to run the DVD.
