This is something that I avoid doing. I have found that Toast will do this task admirably and have had no problems with MTR creating the files, DVD2OneX compressing them and Toast burning them.
I know this does not help your current problem but there may be something within MTR that causes the initial lurch.
Do you have Toast?

So i burned some dvds on the MB with MacTheRipper. I had followed instructions which were given in one of the previous threads and they worked fine.
My problem now is that when i put the DVDs in the MB for viewing.....only a whrring sound comes and feels like MB is trying hard to open it...but nothing happens. I have made it default for CD,DVDs to pen in Finder so the CD/DVD icon comes up. But when i put inthe DVDs (the ones i burned with MTR)..they dont show up on the desktop.
So next i have a commercial VCD..i put inthat and the VCD shows up and i am able to watch it. I noticed that if i put the burned DVDs after i open the VCD..then the DVDs work fine and i can watch the contents.
So everytime i want to watch the DVDs..i have to put in the VCD,watch for some time, remove that and then put the DVD and it works fine.
Where do u think is the problem...why doesnt the DVD show up when i use it regularly??
