Have your partner buy a real computer.

What media are you using? I burn Ritek G03 DVD-R on my Sony DRU500 and they always play on my partner's iMac.

I've had this problem as well.
The solution is to burn to DVD-R media. Seems Macs have a problem reading DVD+R media the way DVDA burns it. They will play DVD+R media from other soures.

I've tried several dvd discs on an Emac at work (it burns dvd-r) . The one that came closest to working (sometimes it played, sometimes the application quit) was a sony dvd +rw. Sony -rw, memorex -rw, and a Verbatim +r weren't even recognized by the application and I only rec'd the main menu and chapter selection menus (it wouldn't play the videos) when I burned a Maxell -r disc. I changed the bitrates from the default setting to 6 and I guess I must have changed the audio from ac3 to pcm or vice versa. I really wish they had given me a dell lab instead of an imac one. sigh.

FWIW, I had DVD-A prepare the files, dragged and dropped the folders into Nero DVD, UDF/ISO template and used Nero as my burning application (These were all suggestions and hints that I used from the helpful/generous folks in this forum) . It plays fine on the emac's dvd drive, it plays fine on my dell laptop Windvd, whereas before it wouldn't at all. I used Maxell dvd-r.
