You might want to try burning via another method on your Mac. Look here under "If you have a VIDEO_TS folder and want to burn it with freeware" and give it a try - http://u2lynne.sandsmuseum.com/burning.html#anchor11. You basically just make an iso and then burn that using Disc Utility. See if you can play a disc made using that method.
