About  Roxio Toast 8 Titanium software

In case I can't use the Yamaha CD burner with OS X (an issue I posted earlier) I'm looking to perhaps replace it. I still have to check some solutions but
I read about the Roxio Toast® 8 Titanium software
How does this work ? Do I install it on the Mac OS X and then the tray on my computer that for the moment can only read (CD and DVD-ROM) will be able to write too ?
Or do I still need a CD burner hardware ? And if so, can I use the Yamaha CRW2100FXZ which use Adaptec Toast version 4.1.2. ?

Hi,
Speed is absolutely of no importance to me.
I only use it to back up data (files, folders,photos, etc). If it takes 20 minutes, I do something else, cleanup my desk, take a snack, whatever.
If you're only going to burn cd's, you'll need about 1.4Gb of space. The application itself is less than 200M.
I checked my MacIntosh HD and it has a
capacity of 9.54 GB.
Used: 8.7 GB
Available: 860 MB
I cannot change the 8.7 GB ; they are all technical folders (System Folder, Applications, etc.) Only 233MB are personals
So I cannot install much here: You say I need 1.4 GB for this software alone. If I cannot install this on the external drive, then I'm in trouble because I need to install a film scanner too and I cannot install it elsewhere than on the HD.
Perhaps I will post another topic since we are moving away from Toast (the topic is "about Roxio Toast® 8 Titanium software") and I want to speak in general about what can and cannot be installed on a external drive.
Can't say for sure if using the external drive will help. Toast 4 / 5 used to allow you to specify the scratch disk to use, but Toast 7 doesn't. Perhaps I should read the manual.
Well reading is good. You don't have to read the whole manual only the installation page. If you could, that will be great. I wrote to Roxio a few days ago with a question unrelated to this and still no answer.

  • Using Roxio Toast Titanium with 550 PowerBook

    Hello eveyone.
    I recently installed Tiger and am now on V. 10.4.7
    My PB has no cd or dvd burner so about 3 years ago, I bought a burner and installed Roxio Toast Titanium 5.1.2. All went OK - until Tiger.
    After the Tiger install, I can't get my Toast to open. This means I can use my burner - an ez quest connected with firewire - to burn a cd from iTunes but I cannot burn any of my iPhoto pics.
    Anyone had a similar problem? How do I fix it?? Should I just buy and install the latest from Roxio - their Media 8 I think?
    Any help would be great!

    Ouch! Well, at least you know you should have.
    Is reparing perms a big thing?
    It's a big thing in that it needs to get done, say like changing your oil. But like the oil, it's not a big thing to do.
    Can I go wrong and make things worse?
    I can't even imagine how. It's a normal, supposed-to-be performed thing.
    Open Applications:Utilities:Disk Utility, select your HD on the left side, click on Repair Permissions at the bottom, wait a few minutes until it's finished, quit DU, and you're all set.
    Also, I'd guess that you don't run Background Maintenance; I'd strongly recommend it (I like MacJanitor because it's so easy and it's freeware).
    Not to worry, this all normal/routine stuff.

  • If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

    It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
    I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

    Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
    If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
    If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
    However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
    Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

  • Roxio Toast Titanium 6.1 cannot see superdrive in MacBook Pro 17"

    Hi Folks,
    My superdrive worked perfectly fine with Toast Titanium 6.1, burning Cd's,Dvd's,dual layer Dvd's without any issues.
    But just recently Toast has informed me that it cannot find a recorder.
    here is the details of my superdrive as listed by System Profiler:
    MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J:
    Firmware Revision: FAV1
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
    Media:
    Media Type: CD-ROM
    Blank: No
    Erasable: No
    Overwritable: No
    Appendable: No
    I am currently trying to get Roxio suipport to resolve the issue but no luck so far.
    I have uninstalled & re-installed the Toast software,repaired permissions,the works but stiil Toast cannot see the Superdrive.
    The only thing I can think of is I installed a recent firmware update for the MacBook Pro & maybe that had something to do with it.
    I also don't think that updating to the latest version of Toast 8 will resolve the issue either.
    Remember that the Superdrive was working just fine with Toast.
    I have searced the froums & apple support documents to no avail.
    The Toast site is not much help either.
    Anybody have any ideas or a similar problem.
    Thanks
    fargione

    My problem has been solved!
    I have carried out a complete re-install of the Os & I am right back up to OS 10.4.10.
    Al the available updates have been installed & Toast 6.1.1 works just fine & sees the superdrive without any problems.
    I think I have worked out what caused Toast to break.
    Sometime back I was advised to run an app called Monolingual.
    It is a utility that removes unecessary language resources from the os & reclaims disk space.
    My advice is to live with the extra language's & avoid Monolingual.
    Once again thank you all for your help.

  • IDVD Burn via Roxio Toast Titanium v6

    I'm using iDVD 5.0.1 on an eMac without an internal DVD-RW - my DVD burining is all done via Toast to an external SONY DVD-RW. I can't work out how to create an iDVD image which I can then drag into Toast to burn. (The shareware floating around which allows a choice of burn destinations from iDVD itself doesn't cover going via Toast.)
    Does anyone have experience of this?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Max now is a good time to buy Toast 7, and use the iMovie project right in that and make a disk image that you can easily burn on that drive.
    You can select DL or not as you like, pick automatic or custom MPEG-2 compression options and of course make an image first and see how big it is and how it looks and operates. It has chapters though rudimentary (time based only) and better templates than Toast 6 (which well, had one basically).
    I find the performance is much faster than iDVD as well.
    Also if you find it made an image say 5 GB , you can either burn that to DL with room to spare, go back and up the compression quality to fit 8.5GB or use the compressor bulit in (was Popcorn's) to recompress that 5 GB to 4.3GB - basically it has way more options and controls than iDVD will ever have.

  • Roxio Toast Titanium

    I am trying to burn 3.2 GB (7 hours) of videos onto a 4.7 GB dvd. Using Roxio, I tried to created a dvd-video, but was told that I needed 10.2 GB of free memory and I only had 4.38. What determines how much video you can put onto a 4.7 GB dvd? Would a 8.5 GB dual layer disc work? Why would my video fit onto a divx dvd, but not onto a dvd-video? Any help would be appreciated.

    Of course they are copyrighted but it is legal to
    make copies for your personal viewing as long you're
    not stripping any copy protection.
    Really, where do you find that support?
    I read the legislation.
    Can you legally make an AAC track from an audio CD track you have and copy it to your iPod? When you record a TV show with a VCR or DVD recorder are you allowed to legally keep it on your shelf and watch it again? Of course you can.
    What you aren't allowed to do in the U.S. is to make copies for others, enable others to make copies from copyrighted programs you recorded, play the recorded programs for audiences outside your home or to stip copy protection in order to make make copies even for yourself without the license/copyright owners permission.
    If the OP recorded The Office while it was being broadcast to his home he has every right to convert and save it in any other format that pleases him. But since he doesn't know how the AVI was created it's a fair guess that a copyright violation occurred in his acquisition of the video, unless it was acquired from a source that has the copyright owner's permission for distribution.
    How is your understanding of media copyright different from my summary?

  • Warum kann ich das Blue-Ray Plug-In von Roxio Toast Titanium 11 nicht auf dem iMac installieren?

    Ich habe einen externen Blue-Ray Brenner und will ihn natürlich auch dementsprechend nutzen und kann blue- ray lesen aber nicht brennen, weil ich das blue- ray plug-in nicht installieren kann, weil der Entwickler angeblich nicht verifiziert ist! Kann mir da jemand helfen?!

    Tja, das kann an allem liegen. Wobei an eine falsche Einstellung in Encore glaube ich nicht.
    Ich habe da eher den externen Brenner oder die Rohlinge in Verdacht. Einen Brenner über USB anzuschließen ist immer kritisch und außerdem solltest du  Rohlingen nutzen die der Brennerhersteller empfiehlt bzw. solltest du Markenrohlinge verwenden.
    Versuch mal das Ganze nicht direkt auf BD ausgeben zulassen sondern erstmal in einen Ordner. Die Blueray kannst du dann mit jedem normalen Brennprogramm brennen. Da kannst du dann auch die Geschwindigkeit einstellen. Ich habe das bisher immer so mit meinen DVDs gemacht. Ich habe zwar noch keine Blueray erstellt (und werde es auch nicht, da ich einen Medienplayer verwende), aber die Vorgehensweise sollte so auch möglich sein.

  • Importing AVCHD  video archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast ?

    Can Final Cut Express import AVCHD video that has been archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast 10 Titanium? The video is originally shot on an AVCHD camcorder (Canon HF-10), then burned into DVDs preserving the AVCHD files using Roxio Toast Titanium. I'm just wondering if you can simply insert the DVDs and import the AVCHD files into FCE. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

    The only thing that matters is that the entire folder structure is preserved from the chip. If the software is picking out the video files then it will not work. The whole folder structure which is a data wrapper for the media is needed by FCE. It doesn't matter if you use Toast or Disk Utility to make the data disc.

  • Blu Ray Workflow: FCP7 to Toast Titanium 11

    Good Afternoon,
    I'm trying to get a grip on the workflow for burning a Blu Ray Disc for a client.
    I'm working in FCP7 - have Roxio Toast Titanium 11 as well as a Buffalo Blu Ray Burner.
    Can anyone provide me a step by step for taking a finished FCP7 project, running it through compressor with the correct settings and then how to take that and create a Blu Ray in Toast Titanium 11 with a menu.
    Much appreciated! Cheers!
    Keith

    From FCP-7, export a QuickTime movie of your finished sequence, Self Contained and Without Conversion.
    Go to the menu File > Export > QuickTime Movie . . . .
    and in the navigation pane that opens make sure Settings is set to Current Settings and Make Movie Self Contained is checked.
    Open Toast 11, click on the Video Tab and from the Drop Down menu choose Blu-Ray video.
    Drag the QuickTime movie you exported from FCP-7 into the Toast Drop zone.
    Select your destination media and buner at the bottom.
    Set up your menu and other options in the right panel. Toast is not known for having great, or flexible, menus but the menu choices they offer are there.
    When done click the Burn button and Toast will properly encode the video, and then burn the disc for use on most set-top Blu-Ray players. Early Blu-Ray players may or may not support home-made blu-ray discs, most players made in the last few years do.

  • Toast Titanium 10 - unidentified developer?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Mavericks. All good. Then I downloaded an update from Roxio -Toast Titanium 10, V8 to V9. Once installed i tried to open it and got the message:  "Toast Titanium can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." I've updated previous versions while using Snow Leopard with no problem - it worked perfectly before the update - does anyone know what's going on here?

  • How to install Roxio Toast 11 Titanium in OSX 10.7

    Hi!
    I just purchased Roxio Toast 11 Titanium and I would like to know the best way to install this on my Mac. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4670, which is not one of the cards supported to use Toast's VideoBoost, only NVIDIA cards are supported. Do I need to use VideoBoost and if so should I download a NVIDIA card, and which one? The Roxio site said to download the first card on the list, which is a CUDA 5.0.37 driver for Mac. The Roxio site also says that before installing this driver that I need either Quadro FX for Mac or GeForce for Mac. I'm confused, please help!!! Thank you!!!

    Just pop the CD/DVD into your optical drive and run the installer and install Toast.
    The Video Boost is probably a system plugin. It , probably, won't install aa you do not have a NVIDIA GPU  installed in your iMac. It's a ATI GPU.
    So, so not worry about this feature. You can't utilize it, anyway.

  • Problems with Roxio Toast Motion Pictures Software

    I am trying to make a quicktime movie using the Roxio Toast Software "Motion Pictures" and Quicktime 7. This has worked fine for my up until today and now the error message that I am getting reads "QuickTime failure (-8970, LQMovieExport.m, line 252)'.". Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

    It may be an issue with VBR (Variable Bit Rate) in the .mp3 files. Try this:
    Open the .mp3 using QT Pro and then open a few of your image files (also QT Pro).
    Select all (Command-A) then Command-C (copy) on one of the image files.
    Switch to the sound file, select a portion of the file (letters i and o keys set in and points) and choose "Add to Selection & Scale". This will add your image file to the .mp3. Repeat to add the other images and then try to save the file.
    Use Save As and name the file. Save to your Desktop and test the file.
    Another issue is the true format of what you're calling an .mp3 file. Is it a song you've purchased from the iTMS? They are .m4p and are "protected". You can't export or share these purchased songs.

  • Using Roxio Toast / Toast 6 Titanium??

    How can I break .avi files into parts using Roxio Toast 6.0 so I can burn it onto a DVD and the file will fit?
    I've tried searching in 'manuals' but it had no results.

    The Roxio web site seems a bit sketchy on tutorials, but that's the kind of information
    that'd be handy. Some Toast versions where more troublesome in file conversions than
    others. I have Toast but don't use it, so I'm of no direct helpful experience in this regard.
    I did a search and found references to tutorials online, but nothing at the Roxio site; so
    if there is a user compiled tutorial out there, that'd be a good thing to know. A Google
    result of 'Roxio Toast tutorial' has some near misses. Try http://www.google.com/mac

  • Using toast titanium

    ive never had any problems using toast titanium version 9, but today ive tried to burn avi files as a dvd-video and while it is encoding the application just closes down without even a prompt saying that it "unexpectedly quit." ive tried it about five times today with the same results. is there some sort of a cache i need to delete or anything else? im out of ideas and i can really use the help. thanks

    Hello,
    How much available disk space do you have? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
    Processes such as burning a DVD, if there isn't enough free disk space... the app can freeze or quit.
    Look here: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences and see if the there's a Toast preference .plist file. If there is, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It might be com.toast.plist or com.roxio.plist similar to that.
    This from the Apple Help Viewer: Applications Unexpectedly Quit
    There are several reasons an application might quit suddenly. If an application does so repeatedly, try to correct the problem by:
    • Reopening the application. Click Reopen in the dialog that appears when the application quits unexpectedly.
    • Clicking Try Again in the dialog that appears if the application crashes after using the Reopen button. If there is a problem with the application's preferences file, clicking Try Again sets the application to temporarily use new settings based on the application's default settings.
    • Restarting your computer by choosing Apple > Restart.
    • Uninstalling any third-party plug-ins or enhancements for the application that's quitting unexpectedly. When you update an application or Mac OS X, a plug-in or enhancement you previously installed may not be compatible any longer.
    • Reading the application's documentation (including Read Me notes) to check if it's compatible with your version of Mac OS X.
    • Opening another document in the application. There may be a problem with the document you were opening before.
    • Using Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder or on your Mac OS X installation disc) to repair the disk.
    • Updating your software by choosing Apple > Update Software. Updates often correct issues found in previous versions. For applications not produced by Apple, look for updates on the manufacturer's website.
    • Disconnecting any peripheral device you just connected (for example, a printer). It may not be compatible with your version of Mac OS X. If disconnecting the device solves your problem, contact its manufacturer.
    • Running Apple Hardware Test, on a disc that came with your computer. If you just installed hardware, such as additional memory, Apple Hardware Test can tell you if it's defective. If you can't find Apple Hardware Test, take your computer to an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    For more detailed information about problems with applications quitting unexpectedly, click the link below to search the Apple Service & Support website.
