Cannot successfully burn a DVD on MacBook using Toast Titanium

I keep getting an error -208 about 68% through the compression process. I really need to be able to use this burn function for work. Anyone wanna save my life?

which toast version you have?
are you sure that the file is valid and not corrupted?
check toast updater from roxio for latest patch.
update your macbook software and hardware (quick time is one of them) and repair permission after that.
Good Luck.

Trying to burn a file over 700MB using Toast titanium 7

In windows if i burn a file over the standard size cd disc it will tell me i need to use 2 cd's
i want to do that on my G5 IMAC and my G4 Powerbook using toast titanium 7 but it just says File exceeds the size of disc - thats all
what can i do?

If you are burning a CD with Toast 7 and it is a Data Disk, in the menu that
pops out to to the left select Mac Only. Once you check that box it should
automatically burn to as many CDs as necessary. I've included a picture for
reference.

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use or to export to iDVD and burn VD from there? Why?

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use - or to export iMovie project to iDVD and burn DVD from there? Why?

Toast probably maintains better quality if you are just doing simple conversion direct from your camera straight into Toast and then to DVD. There's a lot less transcoding steps and loss of quality in that direct to DVD disk creation in Toast. However, having said that,...There's good arguments probably for both.
What I've seen promoted most often (as most people don't have Toast or aren't motivated to buy it) is to Share to Media Browser (choose the Large size option) and then from inside iDVD click the Media Button and the Movies button to find the project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Drag that project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.

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.

Burn to DVD from MacBook Air to USB Superdrive

Hi. I am not totally computer illiterate but i really need some help. I have two long videos of a show that Im in in Londons West End. Several of the lads have asked for a copy and I didnt think that would be a problem. Ha!
The clips are one of an hour and the second of 40 minutes. I use a MacBook Air and I purchased a USB superdrive to do the job. Followed the instructions to the letter, but the clips wouldnt burn as in total thay came to just under 10GB! Im struggling to understand how to get round this. For instance, if I buy a movie on DVD, i can get a whole movie of more than the length Im trying to do on one disc.
Is there something I either can do or need to do?

You need to burn a video DVD using iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Program tu burn cd / dvd on macbook pro

Which program can i use to burn cd and dvd on my macbook pro? does toast universal?
macbook pro 2.16 2 giga ram Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Roxio Toast Titanium would be the simplest and most versatile application you could use. It is highly recommended and is also available as a Universal Binary.
Additionally you can use Disk Utility to write to CDs and DVDs.

Burning Final Cut Express Project using Toast

How do I burn a Final Cut Express project using Toast? When I export a quicktime movie, even when it is "Self-Contained" and burn it in toast I only get sound with no picture. When I export it as a .mov I am assuming that will work, but it is taking 3 hours to export a 45 min video. Is there any other way or is iDVD my only option?

The OS version I am using 10.4.10 which should show on my profile. My computer is a PowerPC G5 Dual 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM. The version of FCE is HD 3.5 and the version of Quicktime I beleive is 7.2. When I export I use Quicktime movie. I tried it with the self contained box checked and without and both did the same thing. I only got sound. When I export using Quicktime Conversion that's what takes over 3 hours. What is the difference by the way? It plays fine in Quicktime player and works fine with iDVD. I have burned quicktime files and WMF before with toast and it has worked fine. It's only when I export them from Final Cut Express that it doesn't work. I have also exported from iMovie as a full quality dv and it has worked.

Is anyone successfully burning HD DVD?

I know there isn't an actual HD DVD burner out there, but there is a "backdoor" way to make an HD DVD.
My question is, is anyone successfully doing this? What HD DVD player is it working on for playback? Is there any real news about the release of HD DVD burners?

Whoops -- I should have posted this on the DVDSP forum. Sorry!

How do I burn a DVD with MacBook Pro?

I have an external DVD r/w drive that is attached to my MacBook Pro with retina display. What do you recommend for the best DVD product software and burn utility now that Apple has eliminated iDVD in the current version of MacBook Pro?
Also, my DVD r/w external player is not seen by the computer- i.e. does not appear on the destop. What can I do to find it?
Thanks for your efforts in responding!

Hi Sister,
Also, my DVD r/w external player is not seen by the computer- i.e. does not appear on the destop. What can I do to find it?
This may help (I don't have an external device to check if this works)
In Finder, Menu > Finder > Preferences > General
Regards,

Unable to successfully burn a DVD from iDVD

I have created a slideshow in iMovies 9 with music etc and I am trying to burn it to DVD to show on my TV.
Using the BURN button it runs through the menu rendering etc and gets to the burn stage, runs for some time saying MULTIPLEXING AND BURNING then ejects the DVD, and says DONE though it still says: TIME REMAINING: ABOUT 1 MIN and the burn symbol continues to spin.
I am using a DVD-R disk.
If I try the DVD in my player it doesn't recognise it, nor in my Mac, and looking at the disk it doesn't appear to have been burned.
Any ideas what could be happening please?

Hi
And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
No exclamation marks there either ?
and non at the front page ?
iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

How do I copy video into iDVD to burn a DVD w/o using iMOVIE?

Aloha from Hawaii! I want to make a DVD copy of the video tape on my Sony digital 8 camcorder. I initally tried using iMovie but the timeline could not hold the whole tape.
I am trying to copy a pile of old family tapes. I want a single DVD of each tape so later (when I have the time) I could reimport them and make home movies.
Thanks
Thomas

Hi theburlaon and welcome!
I initally tried using iMovie but the timeline could not hold the whole tape
Did you try to import the entire tape as one huge clip? Better to set it to, say, 5 minute clips.
I want a single DVD of each tape so later (when I have the time) I could reimport them and make home movies
Bad idea IMO. DVD is the final delivery format, not intended for editing. Converting back from mpeg2 (DVD format) to DV format (what iMovie likes) will result in a substantial quality loss.
Just hang on to the tapes until you are ready to do the job properly, via iMovie and iDVD.

PMG5 suddenly goes to sleep (When using Toaster Titanium)

Since yesterday my dual g5 2*2,7 have developed a new problem.
Im trying to toast a dvd for my sister as a x-mas gift, but whenever I start the encoding process the computer after a few minutes suddenly goes into sleepmode without warning. Im suspecting some sort of heating problem because if I wake it up shorty after it goes down in sleepmode again a lot faster than if I wait for a while. Any tips on how to verify any heatproblems? leaks maybe?

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....
