Problem with DVD-ROM

Posted:

Hello,



I'm having an issue with my G4's DVD-ROM. I just burned a DVD (with a bunch of .JPG pictures) on my PC. The media I used is DVD+R, and the burner is 16X DL DVD±RW. My G4 won't read it, it won't show the icon on the desktop. Any DVD I burned on my PC can't be read by the Mac, regardless of the format of the data. I should probably add that it reads movies on DVD and CDs. I'm assuming the problem is in the media, as I probably should have used DVD-R, instead of DVD+R. Am I right or not?





Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Exp.

    I'm guessing that you are right. The burner in the PC should write both formats, correct? I was surprised the other day to find that my year-old G5 would write to "R+" media, but I don't think an older DVD-ROM will read those volumes.
