I have created a DVD in DVD studio pro and am now ready to burn it to DVD but I don't see an option to go directly from the software to DVD-R. I am on a new G4 with a superdrive and running OS 9.2.1. I can burn cds and the drive sees the DVD-R when inserted, but I get the "locked" message eveyone is talking about when I try to prepare media. iDVD will not use the files created by DVD Studio Pro and Toast Titanium doesn't do DVD. Do I need some other piece of software? Is there a work-around for that "Disk Locked" problem when a DVD-r is first put into the G4? No one has answered that problem which is posted several times in this forum.

Dont put the blank DVD-r Media in the drive untill DVD Studio Pro asks for it. go to build and format dvd and insert the dvd when it asks for it. Good luck Alan

Alan, you might have an answer for this problem as well. I can't select -build and format- Toast can burn a DVD but it becomes a rom-disk, if I Build the disks it works as well, but I can't get my project to work on a consumer -stand alone player. GreetZ
