[Macpartners] dvd-r compatibility mac/pc

[Pamela M Nicholas]

Same thing happens when I copy the files to the hard drive. I tried the VLC
player instead of quicktime, but that closes altogether after 35 minutes. I
also tried copying the files to an external hard drive with the same results.
Quicktime is at latest version.

thanks
