Some DVD-RW discs cannot be played in DVD Player

Some SuperDrive models are capable of burning DVD-Video content onto certain types of DVD-RW media that the Mac OS X DVD Player cannot recognize.

If DVD Player doesn't recognize a disc, you may see a "Not Permitted" or "Supported disc not available" message in the Viewer window when you try to play the disc. This issue may occur with a variety of SuperDrives and media types or brands.

As a workaround, use DVD-R disc media when burning DVD-Video content.
