I'm on an iMac 21.5 inch (late 2013), OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.6, 8 GB Ram, 1 TB disc with 513 GB free, and Apple SuperDrive DVD burner. When go to play the DVD I burned it is blotchy after about a minute and a half and soon after that it freezes. I've checked for updates to my software and it is up to date. Where do I start to figure this out? Thanks.
You don't say how you are test-driving your DVD -- or what brand of DVD disc you are using -- but these things can make a difference.
The issue is not a software issue. You can prove this by saving your DVD as an ISO file on your hard drive, unpacking the ISO and playing the VOB files inside. The issue is with the disc or the player itself.
I'm glad to hear this may not be a software issue. I've burned lots of DVD's using my current system and playing them on my home DVD player. But I did just open a new stack of DVD's. I'm using Sony DVD-R or Memorex DVD-R. What brand of DVD's do you recommend? Also, I'm burning using the Apple SuperDrive DVD burner I bought with my system at least 5 years ago. Could it have gone bad? Thanks.
