My IMAC G5 has failed mid-burn with 4 DL discs so I gave up on that (I was just burning the ISO right to the disc and burning like a data disc). I then put the ISO right on my external hard drive and of course the PS3 wouldnt recognize anything on that (I guess I would need to reformat...Fats or something...whatever) so then I spent 40 bucks on a converter program (AVCWare Mac Video Converter) in an attempt to convert it to a DVD format so I could at least Burn it as a standard DVD on popcorn. Well 10 hours later I converted it to DVD format but it only created a VOB, not the Video_TS folder that I had anticipated. Popcorn wont recognize the VOB so I stalled on that. I then just tried to put the VOB file on the PS3 because I read they can play those but the movie stutters and is cropped (not full wide screen).....I think I abused the green too much in my 20s cuz as much I try to research these things I just end up clueless and frustrated. What generous soul can offer some advice?

If it's failed mid-burn with DL discs then it's probably messing up when trying to switch to the second layer. What media are you using? I've had problems with all DL discs apart from Verbatim DVD+R. Note the +R and not -R. These are the ones you should be using as they are the best quality media if a bit expensive, at least here in the UK. Also do NOT burn the ISO as a data disc. By the sounds of it your just creating a data disc with one file on it. The ISO is an image file, when it's properly burned there should be several files and folders on the disc.
I've no idea about Mac burning apps so someone else will have to help out with that one. The burning app must support DL and udf 2.50 filesystems.
You'd have more luck with Imgburn on Windows or cdrkit on Linux if you ask me.
ps. After a bit of searching it looks like Toast for the Mac supports AVCHDs, don't know if it's PPC compatible or not though.
