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?

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.

Build in dvdsp burn in pc

Hi, Im authoring a dvd in dvdsp4.
The thing is, Im trying to burn it to the 8cm dvd (the small one) and my drive (dvr-117d) won't read the dvd. So Im thinking of building from dvdsp and get my AudioTS and VideoTs files. then copy them to pc and burn there.
Now, what is the correct way of doing this? do I just build to a folder, then copy that folder to pc, then put the videots and audio ts in a dvd burning program?
Cause I remember when I did this once long time ago, that I had to delete 1-2 files from the videoTS but I couldnt remember which ones.
Thx guys
jack

Yes, you'll probably need to remove the .LAY and .LAYOUT files from the V_TS folder. These are files that DVDSP uses to hold information relating to the build, and are not needed on the final disc. DVDSP usually removes these as part of the format process.
Once on the PC, remember to make a UDF disc in the software you are using, not a standard data disc.

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.

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.

Discs burned with toast or finder fail to be recognized in PC

All the discs I have burned recently fail to open in PC - they are recognized by the Windows XP machine as blank CDs only.
Using Toast Titanium 6.1.1, tried various settings including iso 9660
Same problem with DVD-Rs on PCs as well. Will not play in Windows media player...
Help appreciated!

I'm getting a bit confused as to what is going on and what you wish to accomplish. You want to run DW and repair files on the external drive? If that is the case, simply install DW on your internal and run it from there on the external.
Depending on the DW version, several of them have not been a bootable option or, if they actually were, not really usable as there was no easy way to reboot from your internal after having used DW.
Another way to use it is to install it and then make a fully bootable clone on an external drive/partition; you can then boot from that and run DW on the internal (or any other drive you may have).

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:

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.)

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.

How to burn with DVDSP

Hi chaps, you may have spotted my other post outlining my problems, I have still not resolved the burning with Toast problems but as an alternative I thought I'd try burning in DVDSP however when I hit the 'burn' icon a message appears " Formatting successful formatting finished" what am I doing wrong (forgive my ignorance, I have been handed this project and know very little about DVDSP) Regards and have good weekends Roger

you may have spotted my other post outlining my problems,< </div>
Negative, not a clue.
A project that DVDSP interprets as already burned wither has no elements or has, in fact, been burned.
Try saving your project under a new name or making a duplicate of it at the Finder level. You want to maintain it s assets but you want to discard or at disassociate its MPEG and PAR files. You can do that a couple of different ways but the easiest might be to find them and place them in a trash before you launch DVDSP or, if you don't like that idea, copy the MPEG and other DVD encodes to a another drive and discard the originals.

How to burn dual layer iDVD image with Toast?

OK so I'm a bit of a Mac newbie, but I've bought some DVD+R DLs and tried to burn this project that's filled to the rim (7.7GB, 99 titles). OK, so there's encoding, right? But after that process (which you know takes FOREVER in my case), the MacBook pops the DVD out everytime without doing anything. It did not even burn a thing. So, I initially know about the "Save into DVD Image" option in the file menu and it's currently encoding. And as you may also know, there will definitely be a prompt stating that dual layered images aren't guaranteed to work. But I'm hopeless because I need this by Sunday March 9 (American time). Will anyone suggest a method of burning so that the image, when I dismount it, will work? Or rather, after burning with Toast which I have, make it work on a DVD player? I set the ratio to 4:3 just to fit all those titles and the brand of DVD+R DL I bought is, IMHO, a not-so popular brand in the US, nor in the Philippines, called Universal. But I don't think that this is a matter of brand choice by the MacBook's drive, though. Because it is read as a blank DVD disc, and that I have the various options dialog box thingy displayed.

I didn't have much luck in Roxio. Sigh. I guess this is gonna be a hit or miss situation.
But here's another question: If I put more "assets" into the other project I'm doing (because I'm gonna make the project encode in the background for the entirety of the day tomorrow since I'm out), will the encoding repeat?

Using LaCie dvd burner with fce hd

has anyone out there used a LaCie dvd burner with toast titanium 6.1.1 to burn fce hd project? the fce hd files(as a QT file ) contains 2 folders --the movie file along with an a-v 1 file(assuming this a media file) are boththese files to be dropped into the TOAST titanium drop window for burning? burning a dvd takes hours and i'm trying to save myself a lot of aggravation--thanks folks

This is not a Final Cut Express related topic. You're more likely to find LaCie DVD burner users on forums like iDVD and DVD Studio Pro.

Help: Making a DVD with Toast, but No Audio

I have searched on here and other places, found some helpful information and hints, but still nothing has worked out completely right.
I have some .avi files I want to put on a DVD and I'm using the burning program Toast 7 in the DVD-Video tab to do it. I have been able to successfully burn video DVDs when the audio is mpga format, but when the audio is in either A52 or AC3 format, the video loses the audio.
I was told I might need to get the A52Codec.comonent and the AC3 Codec.component files for QuickTime. I did that and installed them in the proper folders. I got the audio to work when the video when it is played in QuickTime (it didn't before). That's great and all, but when I burned with Toast 7, there was still no audio, only video came out again.
I don't know what I need to do. Do I need to convert the .avi to an audio Toast 7 can read and burn (like mpga)? Or is there some .component file I can download and drop it in my Components folder, which will allow the audio to burn correctly to the DVD?
Thank you to anyone who can assist me. I have been at this for 2 days now and have throw out a handful of DVDs trying to get this to work.

Casper,
Okay I want to sing the friendly ghost from the show when I see your name.
I burn avi all the time in Toast 7.1.2 Toast and I usually convert them to divx to fit 10-11 hours of video on there, but I've done it with DVD video. A friend lent me a movie once with no sound and here is the problem that will work everytime. You need to download the VLC player to get it to work right. Here is the link: http://www.videolan.org/
Didn't even know they had an intel one as I have the other version on my Powerbook and just transferred it to my intel one. Once it is downloaded you click on the orange striped cone and then you will see a little VLC box come up. The most effective way to view any file is to go to File up top and then scroll to open file (I've down the quick open file too and then you see a open box and a button that says browse next to it. Click the browse and find the movie or divx you want to watch and click open and then okay, then click the play arrow that is on your desktop and viola. You can go up top too and go to video and click full size screen etc.
If this was helpful or solved your problem please click the helpful or solved button up top. If this doesn't work let me know too.

BURN DVD ON DVDSP OR ON TOAST?

I have burned on both DVDSP and TOAST.
IS it better quality to burn directly from DVDSP?
A duplication house told me not sending them DVDs for duplication burned on toast. Is it safer for duplication burning on DVDSP?

Hi Logic express . . . . . . .:
If you do it right IMHO there is no difference and don't think nobody can find the difference. Problem is you could make some mistakes while burning in Toast (i.e. not selecting the right UDF format).
I found the safest workflow "for me" is building an image disc with DVDSP and burning it with Toast and/or Disk Utility. Check this link: Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site).
Hope it helps !

Burned DVD won't play on outside player but OK with Toast

Here we go again!
After scanning the other posts I still cannot find anything to make my problem go away.
Situation: New G5 Quad and all of HD Suite installed.
Have gone through DVDPro advanced tutorial OK.
Burned to Memorex DVD-R media.
Plays great on G5, and a G3 that I still have, with DVD Player app.
But after trying disc on 3 different outside players they still come up with "unreadable disk" or "bad disk".
Players are relatively new - one mf'd within the last year in a TV combo, and the other, my favorite, Apex AD1200.
I figure if something will play on ANY machine, it will play on the Apex.
I have burned the same file to Toast 7 using the DVD Video from VIDEO_TS option and have been able to play it on my Apex with no problem.
However, inserting this "Toasted" disk into my computer gets me everything except the audio.
I have talked to Support and they do not cover this problem, but pointed me to a page on the Apple website for deleting preferences, which I have done with no effect, and have done a clean re-install of the application, again with no change in what I am getting when re-burning disks.
Anyone have any ideas as to what needs to be done to make this application work properly?

GENTLEMEN -
I posted this to the BMUG website subsequent to chasing down the suggestions offered at that time.
So far the response has been ZERO . . .
At the March 20 meeting I brought up my problems with selecting the correct media for burning my DVD Pro files so that they would play well across a range of dvd players out in the real world - approaching what you expect when you buy a commercially produced DVD movie.
I’m running the G5 Quad, and have the Final Cut Studio HD package.
I am simply looking for some guidance from Apple. Is there a favorite media that has been settled on by Apple, or Apple employees by word of mouth?
One of the attendees stated that he had no problems with his machine or disks that he produced. I wish to communicate with him as to exactly what he is doing and what he is using to be problem-free.
Another attendee suggested I contact the drive manufacturer and ask what media they recommend. Problem is, there is nothing in the Apple profiler that tells me who manufactured this drive. All I can glean from my profiler is the model number, which is HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B. Other forums suggest it is a Hitachi. My own investigation yields the probable manufacturer as LG Electronics. They do not show that EXACT model number (the last 4 digits are slightly different) in their lineup, so I am assuming it is a special build for Apple. So much for that line of inquiry.
I initially used DVD-R media. This played back OK on my computer DVD player, and about 2 out of 15 other DVD players I sampled. Using the same media and file, I burned a disk using Toast 7 on the superdrive. It played fine on three players it did not play on before. I only used the ones that I had immediate access to.
When I switched to 2 different DVD+R media I got the same results as the “Toasted” -R disk.
Why is it OK with Toast on the superdrive, but not with DVDPro on the superdrive???
There is no question about the correctness of the file itself. It is the completed Advanced Tutorial for DVD Pro.
I cannot proceed with projects I have until I can be certain that I am not producing coasters for the majority of the dvd readers out in the real world. I purchased all this gear just so that I could do what it promises can be done with it.
Some answers.
Please.
