Do I need Toast 7 Titanium?

I mostly use the SuperDrive in my Rev A iMac for burning DVD's of short movies that I make, and for backup copies of those that I buy. I use an external hard drive as a clone/backup for everything on my internal drive. The reason I am asking this question is that I have seen Toast on sale for a good price with a rebate, and don't wish to miss out if I "need" it in ways that I do not yet realize.

Toast is a sweet program that is much more than just a disk burning utility. In addition to the compression, it has audio cleanup tools for importing audio from a noisy source like LPs. It also allows you to backup your Mac, spanning that data over several disks like Norton Ghost does for PCs.
BTW, what price did you find and where? I need to get it also.

Do I need Toast anymore?

This may seem a dopey question, but do I need Toast Titanium anymore?
I'm waiting on delivery of my MacBook and last night was considering cd/dvd burning. I only ever used Toast to burn data cd's (this will be my first superdrive). I always use iTunes for music, I guess iDVD now for home made movies, is Disk Utility all that good for burning data dvd's?

It's just as
useful a it was before even though the performance of
some of the high demand tasks, like DVD compressions,
may not be special. FYI - I'm still using Toast
Titanium 6 on my Intel Mac mini.
Good to know, how does it perform under Rosetta?

I need help with Toast Titanium please!

Hey everyone,
I didnt know where to post this so I figured here is good since you're all handy with video apps. I just got my unibody MBP and for some reason, whenever I try to burn something in Toast Titanium or Popcorn, it it stuck in the "Preparing" mode. iDVD has been burning fine, but the others applications are not. Can anyone figure this out?
Thanks!

Which versions of those apps are you using and are they compatible with your computer's Intel processor?
You need at least Toast 7.1 or Popcorn 2.0 to run properly. Even then they might not be compatible with Mac OS X 10.5

TOAST TITANIUM & iMOVIE

I CANNOT save a disc image by saving my large video files (21+ GB) using iDVD. It will not allow me to use it (iDVD). Is there a way I can burn such large volumes as a disc image and then burn to DVD with the computer requesting new DVD being inserted as needed? Will Toast Titanium handle this? My movie is only 2 hours and 15 min. or so; doesn't anythiing compress it down to fit on a Dual Layer DVD? All of the music I layed under it and other such things ate up memory. Will Toast solve this problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks so much for everything!
Best,
Mitch

iDVD doesn't care for size, but length.
iDVD allows import of up to <120min

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.

IDVD 5 & Toast Titanium 7

When I drag my iDVD file which ends with, ".dvdproj" into Toast, it tells me that this file is "an unsupported file format and cannot be imported."
How can I burn my iDVD projects with Toast?
It's faster to use Toast than it is to use anything else right?
I just burned a 7 minute DVD using iDVD and it took almost 2 hours. Does it take that long with Toast as well?
Thanks everyone.
Jameson

When I drag my iDVD file which ends with, ".dvdproj"
into Toast, it tells me that this file is "an
unsupported file format and cannot be imported."
A .dvdproj file is just that - a file that contains your iDVD project. It is NOT the final DVD with mpg-2 encoding. You must select File>Create disk image (or something like that)
How can I burn my iDVD projects with Toast?
You need to create a disk image (as above).

No

When you create a DVD there are two processes involved. The first is encoding - and THIS is the really slow process. When you create a disk image file iDVD will do this encoding. The second is the actual burning to writable media. This is usually much faster than encoding.
Once you have created a disk image file, if you need multiple copies, you only need to go through through the burning process.
Apple's Disk Utility (free) and Roxio's Toast Titanium will BOTH allow you to burn a disk image to writable media. And both allow you to select a slow burn speed (like 4x or lower) - this is VERY important for best DVD compatability with players.
Roxio's Toast Titanium 6, 7 and 8 all use slightly different approaches to burning a disk image to writable media, so be sure to read the manual if you use Toast.

IMovie, iDVD & Toast Titanium: LARGE FILES?????

I CANNOT save a disc image by saving my large video files (21+ GB) using iDVD via iMovie (where I constructed the project with themes, charpter marks, etc..). It will not allow me to use it (iDVD). Is there a way I can burn such large volumes as a disc image and then burn to DVD with the computer requesting new DVD being inserted as needed? Will Toast Titanium handle this?

Question;Will Toast Titanium work with new'SnowLeopard?

So I do have Toast 7.....will it work? do I need some kind of 'upgrade on my Toast Titanium for it to work with Snow L??? thx in advance! Larry

I've burned a couple of CDs with Toast Titanium 8 with success since installing SL. Haven't tried DVDs yet. However, I had no luck with Tivo Transfer portion of Toast 8. Sounds like that is what other users are experiencing as well. I might have to bite the bullet and upgrade to Version 10.

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.

Toast Titanium Issue

I have been working on a project transfer 8 home video VHS tapes to DVD. I completed the project, and burned 4 DVD+R discs using DVDSP3. However, the client needs the discs to be DVD-R, so I told her I could take the 4 discs back and simply duplicate them onto a DVD-R. I inserted the first disc into my iMac, and a blank into an external burner. I opened Toast Titanium 7 and clicked the Copy button. The RAM Cache filled, and began to burn, but about half way through the burn, I received the error message ""I/O Error - Or your disc may be copy-protected - Error Code: -36". I have already deleted the original files from my computer, and the only usuable material I would have left are on the discs. How should I proceed?

Have you tried "Mac the Ripper"?
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14414
Select "Full Disk Extraction" and then open Toast and use the "Video_TS" option with the file it creates. That should make an exact copy of the disk. It's an extra step for the first one, but you should be able to burn the other 3 right after without issue.
Hopefully this works.

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.

Toast titanium 7 program also doesnt work anymore since upgraded leopard

Also my toast titanium 7 doesnt work with Leopard

That's true. You need Toast 8.0.3. Sorry.
BTW, there are a lot of programs that aren't compatible with Leopard. See http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/compat.html

Difference between Toast Titanium 7 and Toast with Jam 6...

Maybe I am just thick, but I can't seem to find a straight answer on this. What does TwJ add to Toast Titanium 7?
I want to convert LPs to CD and hear that Toast - with Spin Doctor - has a host of great tools for cleaning up hiss and various noises. Are the tools in TwJ the same, better, or worse?
It seems that Toast has been updated more recently then TwJ, so would it seem that an update for TwJ is upcoming?
Any other tools for audio cleanup that you suggest?

Toast 7 was written for Tiger while Toast 6 has been updated for Tiger. Development is continuing for Toast 7 but it's difficult to know if there will be any further updates for Toast 6.
The version of CD SpinDoctor that comes with Toast 7 is newer and has more features than the version bundled with Toast 6.
Toast 7 does not include Jam. If you want Jam's features it must be purchased separately. However, with Toast 7 it no longer is necessary to own Jam in order to encode AC3 audio on video DVDs or to create music DVDs as was the case with Toast 6.
Getting to the specifics of your needs, Toast 6 can burn an audio CD from CD SpinDoctor files exactly the same as does Toast 7. CD SpinDoctor 3 can now export tracks directly to iTunes which version 2 cannot do, and has a much-improved waveform display. The filters now include a 10-band equalizer.
Have you read the description of Toast 7 at Roxio's site? Here's the page where it compares with previous versions: http://www.roxio.com/en/products/toast/why_upgrade.jhtml

Which blu-ray disc with Toast Titanium ?????

Does anyone know how I can burn a blu-ray DVD on my Mac computor ?? I have downloaded Toast Titanium with the blu-ray plug-in but when i insert the disc to burn (a blue ray verbatim recordable disc) it ejects and says "please put in a recordable disc"... Any ideas??? Please help ASAP !!!!

Make sure your drive supports Blu-ray (BD) burning (not just reading, but Writing). BDROM is a READ ONLY device. You could try burning the video to DVD as Blue-ray video though. No need for BD if you don't need the size. You could let Toast split it up for you over several DVD's. I've done it. Just make sure you have a player than can play blue-ray.
If it won't burn, check to see you've selected BD and not DVD at the bottom of the window; you could check the specs of your burner by clicking the copy button and selecting the information page of your burner. Look for "Write Support" and check to see that the format matches the disc you put in.
Blu-ray DVD... ...There is such a thing and I've described it above. Mooblie, Get your head out of your bum and do a little research. Try not to misinform. Blu-ray DVD is a finished product, not a physical media type; in that you are correct. But don't sell burners on this site. Try offering a solution they can use right away.
You can burn BLU_RAY (highdefinition) video to standard and DL DVD's. TOAST will split it up for you over several if needed. I've done it, and they work great, just don't expect miracles with the menus (they might end up showing at the start of every disc). If you have multiple videos, like me with my vacation clips, you could just have them all show up in their own chapter, and TOAST will split the video between the Files. High-Definition across multiple discs, but a great way to get out one copy and have it ready to show off. About 30min per DVD and just over an hour per DL DVD.

Toast titanium stopped working

Recently updated my old Mac Book Pro with the Mac Box Set. I am using an external DVD burner. Yesterday I tried to burn a DVD but Toast Titanium 6 will not start. Tried installing the software that the external unit came with (Toast Titanium 9) but the OS will not let it install. Is any one having the same problem?

Yeah, I have Toast Titani. 6 on my macbook pro laptop and NOW IT REFUSES TO START!

Does Toast Titanium 7 allow burning DVD's in code 0?

I want to burn my iMovie projects in code 0, but Toast Titanium 6 doesn't allow that. I can only choose NTSC or PAL and I can't burn a NTSC iMovie project in PAL either - which I would like to do and vice versa. Being able to burn either to code 0 would solve that problem, but before I upgrade to 7 I would like to know if it gives me that option. Thanks to anyone out there who has the answer.

Hi Lennart - thank you for correcting my wrong advice:
Don't worry about NTSC or Pal - that doesn't come into it.
Yes, of course, iDVD Preferences presents that choice. Yet I had imagined that a DVD disk is a DVD disk and would play anywhere in the world - and that it was merely a hardware issue.
Thus if I cut a Pal DVD here in NZ, it could not play in USA?
But presumably a Pal-created iMovie can be burned into an NTSC DVD disk, and be able to play there. I've just never tried that!
