Burning in Toast

I have a non-profit organization promotional DVD that was ripped to my mac and now I am having trouble burning it using toast. There is a video_ts folder, but also there are various other files and folders. Can I burn this DVD using Toast, or is there a better way?

This is a Final Cut Pro forum. You may want to ask this of the Toast people in the Roxio website.
FWIW, just because it's non-profit doesn't mean you have the rights to reproduce the material. If they are asking you to do it, why not use the original material, you will end up with a better product.

IMovie 10: Create project file to be burned using Toast 11

**I am brand new to the community so if I commit some faux pas, mea culpa in advance! I searched previous postings but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.**
I created a photo slide show in iMovie 10 with transitions, some over layed text, and music. Approximately 1.5 hours in length and over 14GB.
Searching the Net I came across PC Classes Online which provided instructions on how to take my creation and burn to Toast 11. However, something must have been lost in the translation.
Their instructions directed me to select my movie, click Share and then File. (followed on screen instructions) Once my movie was converted to file, then drag and drop into Toast for burning. However, the file created was in .mp4 format, which does not translate to DVD format. My DVD would not play on my iMac or my TV.
I have tried multiple times to go through that process again, hoping to find a selection that would result in something other than .mp4. To no avail. What did I do wrong?

Hi
In iMovie'13 (v.10.0.x) - Share as a File and as 480p (NO OTHER - as Video-DVD standard can not be any batter whatever tool used)
Save it onto Deaktop/Finder to be easy to find.
Close iMovie - Start Toast 11
Here SELECT to do a VIDEO DVD
Then drag and drop Your movie file into the big area to the right in this window.
At bottom click on the big red (or green) button
Do as suggested - DO NOT PUT IN ANY NEW DVD until asked to do so !
Set down BURN SPEED to x2 (max x4) as this gives a much better result.
I use Verbatim DVD-R disks - and too a very good result !

When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
be in mp3 format.
If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
in the playlist.

I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

Building in DVDSP, Burning with Toast

If I build in DVDSP and burn with Toast will Toast also recognize the Opening Menus and Chapter Index Menu? or do I have to do something special? Thanks for the reply. Also just out of curiosity what does Toast do during the burn process that DVDSP doesn't?
G5 single 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2x 160GB HDs, 250GB ext. 2.75GB RAM

If you build the project in DVDSP then all you need to do in Toast is get it to burn the folders onto a UDF disc (Universal Disk Format). There are several ways to do this in Toast, depending on the version that you have got. Whichever way you choose shouldn't mean you need to change any menus or anything else - Toast can simply create a DVD from your VIDEO_TS folder, or it can use a disk image and burn that. You can also set it to create a UDV DVD-ROM and drop the Video and audio_TS folders into the wondow... none of these methods will alter the content of the folders.
Toast gives you the opportunity to burn at slower speeds than DVDSP. This is good, since a slower burn results in a more compatible DVD-R. However, there are those who regularly burn at the speed of light and don't get any issues, so let's hope more of us can get to that standard soon! The burn speed in DVDSP is calculated for you on the basis of the media capability and the writer speed... it will choose the maximum possible from the combination available.

IMovie audio problems when burning in Toast 6

Hi,
i've tried to burn an imovie project in idvd 5 but i get 'the error #-1 was reported' like most people have been and i've tried loads of things suggested to fix it with no joy.
I then sent the imovie project to toast titanium 6 where it burned fine. However, when i watched it i noticed that although toast had picked up all the audio (both dv audio and aiff), it did not pick up all the volume adjustments during the movie. how annoying! for example: i have an aiff clip that fades into a movie clip with the sound gradually going down but Toast picks up the sound staying at the same level. this also happens with volume adjustments in a DV file.
Any suggestions why this happens / how i can fix it?
Cheers,
Andy

Andy,
This question is really in the wrong place - this is the iDVD '08 forum and not the iDVD 5 forum.
From the description of your problem using Toast, it sounds like you didn't actually export a DV video movie out of iMovie.
Export a DV video movie out of iMovie (it will run 13 GB per hour) and play it back with the QuickTime Player to see if the audio settings you made are really there. If this movie plays OK, you can bring IT into iDVD or Toast for turning it into a DVD.
If the DV video movie you created STILL has audio problems in the QuickTime Player, ask you question about THAT issue in the correct iMovie forum.

Error -50 when burning a DVD to an external FW Burner using Toast 10

I just upgraded to a refurbed 2009 iMac 27" i7, and it of course has one fw 800 port.
My Samsung SH-S222L dvd drive is in an Ezquest Monsoon FW 400 external case that worked
flawlessly with my PM G4. I also have a brand new Seagate FreeAgent Go
500GB drive, that has two fw800 ports on it.
I connect thusly: from the iMac to the Seagate via fw 800, and then out of the
seagate to the external dvd drive, using an fw 800 to fw 400 cable.
The imac recognizes two devices on the FW chain.
However, when I try to burn a dvd on the EzQuest,
Toast Titanium 10 reports an error -50, and says that it cannot burn the disc,
however, Toast somehow sent the command over and the drive
begins burning the disc, even though Toast said it could not,
due to the Mac OS -50 error.
2 mins later ( burning at 12x on Taiyo Uden Media) the disc is done.
And yet I cannot control the drive ( eject the disc)
from the iMac, because it still reports error -50.
Turning off the Drive and turning it back on,
will mount the burned disc, and then I can eject it as normal.
So, my questions:
1. is FW on Snow Leopard machines THAT flaky?
Or does it have to do with the "piggyback"...going FW 800 to FW 800 to FW 400,
that could be causing the issue?
2.
Could the issue be that the error -50 is occurring because
the iMac has TWO DVD drives, an internal and an external one?
That Toast or Snow Leopard is making the iMac not talk to the right
drive, and it has a momentary lapse and that causes the error -50?
I'm at the point now tonight when I get home trying to see if just
the drive BY ITSELF will work via FW ( going 800 to 400)
and that perhaps the issue is that it cannot handle more than
one device on the onboard FW port?
At least I figured I'd give it a shot before getting a new external case,
a USB only one ( this one is FW 400 only) and just using a USB external burner,
and only have the one FW drive on the bus.
Any help would be appreciated....
terryj

Solved it---
the problem was the EZQuest Monsoon FW400 External Enclosure.
Turns out that even though it has an Oxford 911 chipset,
the firmware is not compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
I found this out after working with both Apple and OWC
trying to rectify it. Now to rma the Monsoon case,
and switch to a USB 2.0 external case for the drive....

Save an unencoded iDVD disc image to encode/burn with Toast?

Hi:
I'm geting jittery image on playback (only in certain scenes) when I use iDVD to encode my disc. If I use Toast to encode and burn, there's no problem, using the same blanks and burner. I saw a post here from someone who said you can save a disc image from iDVD, but then have Toast encode it and burn it; in the help files it always says iDVD encodes its disc images. Any ideas, or any other suggestions as to the jittery playback on a few scenes?

It could be the DVD media you're using or player, etc. If you create a disk image and use DVD Player software to view it, that should be pretty much what to expect on DVD-R playing in a good quality DVD player.
Read Beverly's comments here:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b68f78
File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Disk Utility to burn the DVD.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Formatted iDVD project complete with Themes, etc...burning through Toast?

I need to use Toast to burn my completed iDVD project. Worked a looong time making it perfect with formatting using Themes, custom Text pages, etc... I'd hate to lose all that, but need to use Toast to compress the video to fit a Single Layer DVD. Does Toast preserve the iDVD formatting or not? Can iDVD finalize a project with Toast burning in mind? Help?

If I'm not mistaken, you can create a disc image to the desktop from the file menu in iDvd. Then burn said image in Toast while selecting the fit to dvd option.
But you may be restricted to selecting one of Toast's basic themes.

Imovie + garageband audio burn with toast?

Hello all,
I've been following this procedure:
1) Place all video clips in iMovie HD
2) process my voice over narrations with GarageBand (male narrator noisy)
3) Put the GarageBand enhanced audio into iMovie
4) Create the DVD with iDVD
My question is can I use Toast instead?
That is can I still burn the DVD with Toast with the audio that I processed in GarageBand?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Mike

you posted in the iMHD-section of this board.. which is vers 5 (five) of this app. answer differs on version of iMovie
answer: yes.
after inserting the GB-audio into your iM-project, save it.
quit iM.
launch Toast, select videoDVD
drag iM-project into Toast..
... done.

ITunes does not read audio track info from CD burned with Toast 10 Titanium

I cannot get iTunes on my Mac laptop to read the CD text that I type when I burn an audio disc on Toast 10.0.7. This is true, even though I choose the Toast option "Add CD Text." I have to re-enter the info into iTunes, duplicating the effort I put into naming the tracks and artists in Toast. Even after doing all this, however, the track icons within the disc icon on the desktop will not reflect the iTunes info. When I click ""Get Info" for the disc, its says "You can only read" under the "Sharing & Permissions" section. How can I fix this? Is this a Toast issue or a Mac/iTunes issue?

It is an iTunes issue. iTunes can write CD text when it burns a CD, but is not capable of reading CD Text from a CD.
If you want to see a list of ripping tools that can read CD Text, refer to this Wikipedia article. If you don't have time to read it, here is a summary: almost every ripping tool can read CD Text, except iTunes.

DVD MENU, burn using TOAST

Has anyone tried this, building a menu using DVDSP, after you build your menu -- you have 2 folders, Video TS, Audio TS. Do you have to burn your DVD using burner inside DVDSP? Or can I drag those TS folders into TOAST and burn it there. If so, where do I drag these files? Data? or Video?
Appreciate your time and suggestions...
KChen

KChen:
I'm a little confused about what you mean with "DVD
MENU" . . . but the answer is yes, you can use Toast
to burn your <b<disc</b>.
In Toast 7 go to Data and choose format DVD-ROM
UDF. NAme your disc and drag both VIDEO_TS and
AUDIO_TS folder inside. Burn.
Another approach is creating a disc image of
your build in DVDSP and use that img file in Toast or
OSX Disk Utility. You can find here a complete
tutorial about Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from
www.kenstone.net site).
Hope it helps !
Alberto
Dear Silal:
You know how DVDSP allows you to build your menu with a nice template and navigation buttons. When you burn DVD using Toast, it only gives you one button.
So my question is, how do you use that nice menu layout that DVDSP offers, and then using Toast to burn your disc. Do you always have to open DVDSP to burn your disc? Or can you use Toast to burn your disc and keeping it stored away so everytime you want to make a copy, all you have to do is use Toast.
The second part of my question, if I want to burn my disc using toast with the template built from DVDSP, do I burn it by dragging in the TS folders into DATA or VIDEO in Toast.
I hope this is clearer, and I appreciate any suggestions, I'm very new at doing this.
Many thanks!!!

Burning with Toast or how should I?

I know there's a simple answer to this but I dont know it
I want to burn data to a cdr then go back and add more data to that same cdr.
How can I do this.
I have Toast 7
I'm used to using EZCD's Direct CD drag to disk function and ultimately that's what I'd like to do on the Mac.
Thanks

I don't have Toast 7 but do have 6. 6 is supposed to have problems with 10.4 so don't go back. 7 should have session burning. A free app I use is called BurnX Free. You just drag items in BurnX Free's window check the box called "leave disk appendable" and click burn and it will allow future burns and it's free! You can find it at Macupdate.com or Versiontracker.com.
