I'm using xilisoft DVD creator software, converter iso to dvd, the picture quality is perfect, but I'm having problems with the sound. The sound cuts in and out and the timing with the speakers lips is off. That all happens when I play it on my sony play station, but when I play the video on iDVD on my imac everything is fine. Any idea what the problem may be, and how to fix it... Could it be the play station?... Or is there better software I could use.
FYI if you have an ISO of a DVD you don't have to convert it since it is just like an image. All you have to do is drag and drop it into toast and click burn. No conversion needed. Also if you double click the ISO file it should mount on your desktop and be playable by VLC or apple's DVD player.

I've dragged a iso of a dvd to toast and burned a dvd from it, the dvd player can't read it. The iso file when mounted on my computer does play in QuickTime but not in the Apples dvd player, once its converted to a dvd, then it plays on the Apple dvd player.

It could be the type of dvd media you are using. I use DVD+R* because it's supposed to be compatible with more stuff, but I could be wrong. Am burning an .iso to a DVD as we speak, with Burn. Disco also is supposed to be okay, too
still dunno about the lip synch problem, though

*TDK brand if that helps. Verbatim are pretty good too- I get 'em in the dollar store at 2 for a dollar (2 pack). Never had any coasters....

Yes, you're wrong.
DVD-R not +R, features greater compatibility with a wider range of hardware. If it's working with your present setup, however, the issue is kind of moot.
Macs can play and record to either format these days, so it's kind of a non-issue from that perspective as well.
words of wisdom from chas_m....
okay: HAL9000, 'ere's the deal
think of an .iso file as a copy of whatever, much like CloneCD on the PC side
so what you want to do is convert the COPY to a DVD, yeah
so with BURN, click on copy, import the .iso and burn it to a DVD,
hopefully this helps

and yeah, DVD-R should be more compatible, but I go with what's cheapest and works, I think I paid $15 for a stack of 100 blank dvd's

Hmf.
I'm using DVD+R that "maybe" the problemo. Got get my hands on DVD-Rs.
About 90% of DVD Players can handle DVD-R disks (while 10% can not handle burned disks at all); while zero old DVD players can handle DVD+R, while about 50% of new players can.
DVD+R operation is not "standard", since it has not been adopted by the DVD Forum, which is the official industry/studio group that regulates the DVD format. So despite a few technical enhancements, adoption of this non-standard has been spotty, and has mostly been used by Sony and HP - and DVD+R's can not carry the official DVD Video logo.
Stores are filled with DVD+R's, making it look more popular; but rather, there has been a production shortage for DVD-R disks for most of the year, and they are just starting to catch up to demand in this quarter.
As a rule of thumb, if you want to burn disks that will be read on other machines, especially stand alone DVD players or computers that have Combo drives that are not "triple-mode", then you should use DVD-R disks; while if you are using DVDs to back up data for your own system, the enhanced (and more advanced) error correction code scheme of DVD+R may be of benefit, since media compatibility will not be a problem.
