M4v format to DVD

Question

This probably isn't the right place for this post but I can't find any "right" place for it and its the closest topic. Anyway, I have a m4v video that I tried to burn to DVD with Toast 7, only problem is, only the audio is on there, the video is black. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks

MPEG Streamclip is a converter, an exporter, a player, an editor, a downloader.
It can open many file formats: muxed files MPEG, MPG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, DCM, VDR, PVR; transport streams TS, M2T, MTS, MMV, REC, VID, AUD, AVR, TP, TP0, TRP, TOD; demuxed files M2V, M1V, MPV, AIFF, AIF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3; QuickTime-compatible files MOV, DV, AVI, MP4, DIVX, WMV, FLV; pictures TIFF, JPEG.
MPEG Streamclip supports MPEG-1 video, MPEG layer 1/2 audio, AC3/A52 audio and PCM audio. MPEG-2 video is supported in conversions, but for playback and export you have to buy the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) from Apple.
To open DivX files, you have to install one of the free DivX-compatible codecs (DivX 5 or 6, 3ivx, XviD).
To open WMV files, you can install the free Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.flip4mac.com/ . Export to WMV is supported if you buy Flip4Mac WMV Studio.
To open FLV files you have to install Perian, a free codec pack, from http://www.perian.org/. But note that currently, Perian does not "obsolete" or replace other codecs so you still have to install 3ivx, DivX, XviD when required.
