LOL! Bobadoodle I love your sig/Avatar! As an animal lover I like it heaps. If you need, tell us what sort of burn probs you're having (now you're in the right forum section lol ) ? No matter what the distractions, keep your eye on the ball (your goal!)

hi middle earth person!

I think the burning problems are with my mac..... I have osX and am using toast titanium. I do all the usual stuff to burn a dvd.....it goes through the first bit fine...takes AGES! then after all that I get a wee warning that says cant copy - osX problem.

To be honest though - I'm not too bothered! I'm just watching what I downloaded in the office! haha! ( its at home!)

what I originally wanted to do was download a film - put it on to dvd then watch it on the tv - the old fashioned way! but now I realise that i think this is beyond my capabilities!

And that would either the island of Malta or of Gozo, to the SE of Sicily.
Either that or you're living in a (yellow?) submarine. Or are not human...

bobadoodle, did you dld the movie at work?

If so (and I'm asking any OS X whizz kid out there) is it possible to fiddle with the burner software/drive/whatever so that it won't burn?
Anyways, try burning something besides a DVD (a data CD for example onto a CD RW) to see if it works.
If it does, try putting the thing in a CD (as data CD) and get it back home, then burn it from there (if you have the necessary equipement, that is; and I'm not talking about lighters and matches ...)

I did - but my work is at home!!!! if you see what I mean - and the mac is mine so I know its not been set up an anyway not to accept what I was trying to do! I think it was just in a strop!

bobadoodle tell us what file format the movie is in (extension name.) This will help to sort out your problem. What's the file size (MB)? Can QuickTime Player play it? In QT go CMD+I & tell us the info.

Me gets it now.
... I think that it may be an error caused by OS X here (if it says that it's an OS X problem, then that's probably what it is, right?). I figure though that it's too troublesome to reinstall OS X, huh? Well, next time you format, make sure you've put the film in a data-disk, so that you can try burning a DVD out of it then.
