Hi guys,

I have an IBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.3.9 ,
800MHZ G4, 640 MB RAM.

I tried to copy my 10-minute DVD from the internal
drive: Mats---a CD RW CW 8123 (it's a DVD ROM as
well , but I don't know why its model name didn't say
that?)that came with the IBook, to an external burner:
Pioneer DVD RW, DVR 106D.

1) When I used the "CD/DVD Copy" function in Roxio
Toast Titanium version 6.0 to copy the dvd, after 1
minute or so, an error message appeared:

The driver reported an error:
Sense Key = Illegal Request
Sense Code = 0x21 , 0x02
Buffer Underrun

2) I tried to burn it with only 1x speed and still
didn't work. I was told may be it'll work with
different brand of disks. But I know it's not the disc
brand, external drive (Pioneer) nor bad media file
problem, because I used the same external
burner(Pioneer), same original DVD, and same brand
of media DVD disc to do it in my eMac which has the
same RAM, only runs OS 10.2.8 but is 1G MHZ, and it
burns beautifully.

3) I tried copy the VIDEO_TS file onto my hard drive,
dragged it into the Toast Titanium's video tab "DVD-
Video: My DVD" window and tried to burn it. It
stopped after about 3 minutes and the same
message appeared.

a) What's wrong with the first step? It worked on the
eMac!

b) Do I have to burn it slowly? I tried x1 but didn't
work.

c) I dragged the Video_TS file into the Data window
but it became a DATA DVD and won't read by neither
a regular or computer DVD player. (It'll only play if I
go to Folder --> Open VIDEO_TS Folder, then
nevigate it to the DVD, then it'll play.

d) I was told that I could use the Disk Utility to burn
and I found some info on this site: http://
forums.macosxhints.com/showt...hlight=burn+DVD.
But I couldn't understand half the jargon and it didn't
seem that it's sucessful anyway. If someone know
how to do this right, can he/she show me a simple
step-by-step?

All I really want is to just copy from one DVD to
another DVD and play. And if copy doesn't work,
how to use the VIDEO_TS file in the desk top to burn
so that a regular or computer DVD player can just
insert and play.

Can any intellengent individual points HIS finger and
shine some light on me, PLEASE?

Much thank you all in advance.
