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.

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.

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?!

Woran könnte das liegen?
An der falschen einstellung in Encore?
An einer schlechten Informationsübertragung durch USB 2?

Oder an falschen Rohlingen?
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.

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

IDVD 5 img and Toast

I have a disk image I made with iDVD 5. How do I burn it in toast titanium 7? What files go it what sections etc?
Thanks!

From iDVD, choose File > Save As Disc Image.
Mount the disc image on the desktop, by choosing the "Mount It" menu option that comes with Toast 7... which will mount the disc image as a DVD.
Launch Toast 7 and click on the DVD tab in the media browser, this will display all the titles and chapters from your DVD.
Drag/drop a title or chapter into the SVCD option of Toast.
This will turn your iDVD video into a SVCD.
iDVD menus are not included in it.

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.

Burning Problem: does Toast interfere?

I have never been able to enjoy this DVD burner I have in my desktop G4. I've even swapped it out once already. I still can't burn DVDs. Here's what happens:
1) at stage 4, when it looks like the DVD will be burned, my Roxio toast application opens, and nothing else happens. If I close toast, it all shuts down (iDVD too). I tried using the Toast application system setup helper to shut off the automatic start up, but it just keeps opening.
2) So, I eliminated toast altogether (took it off the machine). Now, I get to stage 4 and get an error code from iDVD that reads:
"Errors were found during the burning process
Recording engine: Device is not supported for the requested burn opertation"
Can anyone out there give me a clue? I'd love to join the digital age and actually use my computer the way it was intended. What is wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am not using Toast, and I have burned DVDs successfully now and then. I tried to clear up all the problems I can track down, such as clearing 30 GB of hard drive space, getting my files all on the same drive, etc. Recently I wanted to experiment with burning some photos onto a DVD and it told me to change my burn speed. That must be the reason that I am now getting the error message: "Errors were found during the burning process
The recording device reported the media error: Power calibration area error. (0x73, 0x03.)"
Does anyone know how to repair this problem?
This is driving me bonkers.

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.

10.4.9 and Toast Titanium

Since I´ve downloaded the 10.4.9 update I have problems to burn DVDs with Toast Titanium 6.1.1
CDs are not effected
The burn process starts properly, but a few minutes before it is finished it stops the job and Toast freezes.
Does anybody else encounter this problem?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Big Tom Cat and welcome!
You should probably update to Toast 7, the latest version of which is 7.1.2. I have had no problems with that.
Or of course go straight to the latest version: Toast 8 !

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?

Navigate to System Prefrences - Security and Privacy and select the box I've pointed to below:

DVD Quality With Toast Titanium 8 Help

how come when i download a movie and watch it on quicktime the quality of the video it perfect but when i burn it with Toast Titanium and watch it on my dvd player the quality isnt as good its kinda pixilated?
thanks for the help

the pixel would probably be caused by:
1. poor quality in burning (dvd/cd burner is old)
2. "medium" transfer, the data goes through many process of in and out having quality lost in effect... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1
3. original video size is small so it has to "crop" when shown in bigger screen
