Other people with the same problem have fixed it with the steps described here, even though the article doesn't mention those specific symptoms.

Huh -- it does list DVDSP 3 as a program with these symptoms, so hopefully upgrading to 4 will help. (We're supposed to be getting it tomorrow. Fingers crossed.)

It didn't for me. I had to go to a Panther machine to make DVDs. But DVDSP 4 is tastier in many other ways.

In the article I think they got the receipt name wrong. It looks like it should be /Library/Receipts/ProAppRuntime.pkg instead of /Library/Receipts/ProRuntime.pkg.

Rob, my department would like to buy you a beer, and possibly build a statue of you in the lobby. Thank you so so much!

Will you write him a folk song?

Rob! The man they call Rob!
He researched that app, and he gave it what for
Ferrited out bad code, and he showed it the door
Without his assistance we can't do our job,
He's a hero, a Buffista, the man they call Rob!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I bought a DVD recorder and have started transferring stuff from VHS. The manual says I have to "finalize the disc" to make it playable on "external devices". I am unclear on what that means and if I really need to do it. I'm questioning the advisability because the first thing I transferred played back fine (on the recorder) until I finalized it. After it was finalized, it didn't play back on the recorder, or in my laptop, and became no longer recordable. If I don't finalize my discs, will they only play back on this recorder?
