I think VLC Player is out for many Apples.
There's also a question if a DVR was used. My DVR does this until I use a menu on the DVR to finalize the recording.
I copied a VHS to a DVD-R. When the DVD is then played in the DVD player, the file plays as per what was copied. When I put the DVD into a mac to see the file, it DVD shows empty. Any advice?
