    You have to pay for this software though and most everyone wants to use software available on their Mac without having to pay extra. So this software definitely is not an ideal solution.

    Hello, Shelly. If you want to play the created DVD successfully on DVD player, please make sure that the disc is compatible with your DVD Player. Then make sure the DVD is created in the same TV standard with the DVD player. With Aimersoft DVD creator for Windows/Mac, you can make your personalized DVD easily. ^_^
