How to Convert and Burn MOV to DVD on Mac

Questions:
"I have some MOV video to burn to DVD. I’ve never tried before; I tried using toast right now. Under video tab, I selected DVD, it says not enough free space on DVD, this movie does contain audio, so what can I do? I also tried iMovie, no luck"

"If I burn the file using the Finder's Burn Folder or make a data disc using Toast, the resulting .mov file on the burned DVD will not play on my computer. What am I doing wrong? I simply want to put the .mov file on a DVD so that it will play on other computers, not so it will play on a DVD player."

Answer:
Toast no longer supports crossover copying of Mac and PC DVD's. The older versions (Toast 10.2) did because they embedded "auto run" data so the DVD would be read by Windows. According to the techs at Toast, the only way to get a Mac made .mov (etc.) file to play on a PC or Mac/PC is to include some type of PC auto run software with the transfer.
