DVD Studio Pro and iDVD: Some Philips ProDVD Players Cannot Read DVD-R General Media Discs

Some Philips ProDVD players can not read DVD-R General Media discs.
Certain Philips ProDVD players, such as the ProDVD 170, cannot play DVD-R General Media discs. DVD-R General Media is the type of media used by the SuperDrive, which comes with some Macintosh computers. The Philips ProDVD can play DVD-R Authoring Media. Apple's SuperDrive does not write to DVD-R Authoring media, although it is possible to use DVD Studio Pro with an external third-party DVD-R drive, which can write DVD-R Authoring Media.
