Something is either wrong with Tiger’s Finder DVD burning, or Xbox Media Centre’s DVD reading. Any DVDs I burn from a Burn Folder in Tiger will not work properly on the Xbox.
The disc name is reported fine by Xbmc, and the first track will play if the disc is inserted (and autoplay is turned on), but no tracks are reported as being there by the browser.
Toast-burned DVDs work fine, and all burned DVDs work on the iMac itself, or on a PC.
Very frustrating in that I don’t do this often enough to remember, so I keep having to re-burn discs so I can watch them on the Xbox.
I can’t wait to finish the house and have my home network all hooked up again. Having to burn a movie back to CD/DVD just to watch it is very frustrating…
(All of my DVDs are packed away in storage, and I cannot be bothered opening up boxes to try and find the one I’m looking for).
I read somewhere about how the Xbox will only read re-writeable discs. That may only be for CD’s, but I’m fairly certain Microsoft did this to deter video game theft. Try using a DVD Re-writeable. It may have to do with the type of DVD you’re using too, such as a DVD+RW or a DVD-RW. In either case, I’d check it out.

Actually, the weirdness is that if I write the DVD with different software, it works fine.
And I have read reports of CD-Rs not working, but I’ve never had any issues with my particular XBox.
Thanks for the info though.

frankly speaking, i love this.
DeepBurner comes with an extensive list of useful and valuable features that you’ll ever need to fulfill your burning needs. Beginning with compilation of CDs and DVDs in different formats and ending with creation of photo albums and backups.

What the hell is this? An advertisement? Did you actually read the post? This is an issue with an iMac, running Tiger, having issues burning discs for use on an Xbox.
Why the hell should I care about this piece of software?
