Toast 10 Titanium and 10.6.3 Update

Has anyone else had a problem opening Toast 10 with the latest Mac OS X update (10.6.3)? Mine looks like it opens in the Dock, but the application never appears. I have to "Force Quit" the application to close. Tried trashing the prefs, but it still won't open...

Yes my Toast 10 opens ok, no problem, then only problems I have is that I have lost all the desktop patterns since updating

How to install Roxio Toast 11 Titanium in OSX 10.7

Hi!
I just purchased Roxio Toast 11 Titanium and I would like to know the best way to install this on my Mac. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4670, which is not one of the cards supported to use Toast's VideoBoost, only NVIDIA cards are supported. Do I need to use VideoBoost and if so should I download a NVIDIA card, and which one? The Roxio site said to download the first card on the list, which is a CUDA 5.0.37 driver for Mac. The Roxio site also says that before installing this driver that I need either Quadro FX for Mac or GeForce for Mac. I'm confused, please help!!! Thank you!!!

Just pop the CD/DVD into your optical drive and run the installer and install Toast.
The Video Boost is probably a system plugin. It , probably, won't install aa you do not have a NVIDIA GPU installed in your iMac. It's a ATI GPU.
So, so not worry about this feature. You can't utilize it, anyway.

Toast 8 titanium

I have had loads of problems with DVD's freezing and stuttering when burning out of DVD SP, which was making me look like a complete amateur to my clients!.
I have searched the forums, and found out that the best way is to build in DVD SP and burn in Toast. So I have bought Toast 8 Titanium, and high grade media (Verbatim, and in future Taiyo Yuden). I have also reduced my bitrates in compressor.
What I need to know is - do I still need to remove anything form the Video TS folder before I burn it in Toast, or does this latest version take care of all that. And are there any other bits of advice anyone can give.
The downside for checking my DVD's myself is that I have 2 very new DVD players here and they play anything! So it always seemd that everything was OK with my DVD's.
Can anyone suggest a way to check them otherwise. I cannot keep having this happen - it's embarassing.
Many thanks

Stephen:
My favorite workflow is creating a disc image of your project with DVDSP and burn that image using Toast. That way you'll be sure your disc is right formated and you don't have to do any manual job taking out any file, and can manage quantity and burn speed.
Check this link: Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site).
Besides that, if you use the DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS feature in Toast (I use 7 but think must be there in the Video section in 8), Toast will take out any extra file and create the right format.
But as I told you, creating the disc image from DVDSP does it fine.
Hope it helps !

Encoded Files Location in Toast 8 Titanium

Hi... I have Toast 8 Titanium and I'm trying to create a "DVD Video." I just have an .avi file that I'm trying to burn onto a DVD. When I start the burn process, Toast says it's Encoding the files. Well, it crashed in the middle of encoding and I had to restart the process... Now it says there isn't enough room on my hard drive. Where are the encoded files stored on my computer so I can delete them??
Thanks.

Presuming that encoding is also known as conversion, and that's only a guess, then the files should be in our documents directory in the "Roxio Converted Items" subdirectory.
These converted items are deleted by default when Toast Quits, but of course when it crashes, that may not be the case.
If you run Toast and look in the Preferences under Storage you will see these things.
It also lists Temporary Storage but does not give the actual file location. This is another place to look.
I don't see any specific references in the .plist.
You can always contact Roxio support and ask them - they are usually extremely helpful and quick at answering such questions.

Problems Updating Toast 9 Titanium

I'm trying to update Toast 9 Titanium. I've downloaded the update (not upgrade but update for version 9.0.7). I've downloaded the zip file, uncompressed it and opened the DMG file - ToastTi_907_260Updater.dmg).
When I drag the update to the Applications Alias in the dmg and tell it to replace the files I'm getting, "Copy - The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items."
I am logged in with my admin account which I used to originally install Toast 9 Titanium. I verified that I'm the owner of the folder in the Applications folder and I'm the owner of all six parts of the app. I'm still getting this error. How do I fix this?
Note: It's a legal copy that I purchased directly from them and it is working except that I can't update it.
The computer is an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz White 24" iMac with 4 gb of RAM. I'm running 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard in 64 bit mode - I held down 64 when booting).

When I drag the update to the Applications Alias in the dmg and tell it to replace the files I'm getting, "Copy - The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.". I verified that I'm the owner of the folder in the Applications folder..."
The alias on the img and the app folder are not the same thing - checking permissions on the app folder is only investigating half the guest list.
Make sure that nothing related to TT9 is running, then drag the new items from the image onto the TT icon inside the app folder.

Can't run Toast 7 Titanium's CD Spin Doctor - please help!

Hello,
I don't know if I'm posting in the appropriate forum or not, but here goes...
I got a LaCie d2 Dual DVD+/_ RW Drive for Christmas, along with a brand new copy of Roxio's Toast 7 Titanium. I recently installed all the driver software and everything seemed to go well.
However, when I attempted to run the CD Spin Doctor (version 3.0.1), I have run into problems that I cannot explain. I can import audio to my G4 (using my Xitel MD Port I/O USB interface) just fine, but when it comes to editing the waveform, I CAN'T! What I mean is that I can select areas of the waveform, but cannot cut, paste, delete, etc. - anything! Another matter is that at times when I am playing back the file, Spin Doctor will act as it is starting to hang and simply crash.
When I have been using Spin Doctor, I have kept the number of other running applications to a minimum. I have run Disk Warrior and TechTool Pro v 4 to organize my directories and optomize my HD. I'm running OS 10.3.9 which from what I understand is within the requirements for using Spin Doctor. What Gives?
Should I trash the preference file (if there is one) and try again, or uninstall and reinstall the app? Is there something more serious going on? I'd rather not have to upgrade to Tiger at this time or buy another audio editing file, yet checking Roxio's support section offered little in the way of shedding light on the situation. I also downloaded Toast 7.0.2 and tried the updated version of Spin Doctor provided with the toast Update without success.
If anyone else has experienced problems running Spin Doctor, and has found a solution, please let me know. TIA!

I've had similiar crash problems with Toast/Spin Doctor. Installed Toast 7.0 and upgraded to 7.0.2. Spin Doctor crashes all the time, whether trying to simply playback track (LP source input via INport) or trying to add a track or do just about anything else. I have spent 55 minutes on hold with Roxio (no answer), have sent crash reports to Apple (from whose store I bought this application) and have have had no replies. Since it appears Roxio isn't very good on the rebate side, either, guess they don't care about customers. I'm hoping to return this product to the Apple Store where I bought it. This simple application should be a no-brainer to use but I'm tired of doing QA for substandard tech products. GarageBand doesn't quite do what I need to do so I guess I'll have to move up to Final Cut products. Wish Apple would stop selling products whose makers don't provide decent quality, reliability, and support.
Anybody solve the crash bug?

Which burning speed selection to use in Toast 7 Titanium?

Hi everyone,
From what I have ready here and there on some postings, it is supposed to be better to burn at lower speeds to get better quality burns.
Toast 7 Titanium offer a choice of burning speeds which is convenient.
The question is: if I want to burn a 16x DVD at 8x speed, do I chose the 8x selection or the 8x DVD selection?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rio.

I'm not in to paralysis by analysis. I doubt that with any of the current disks, one could tell the difference between the different recording speeds. There are those that will tell you the stars need to be aligned correctly...... The price of the blanks, allows one to record at different speeds and then compare them to see if they can hear the difference. Use your wife/girlfriend/sister/daughter as the judge, as men (very few anyway) don't have the hearing women do. As for playing in old players, DVD and CD, the -R versions of the discs are the most successful. If you are buying the $2.00 each discs, I would also compare those to the $0.25 each discs recorded at the same speed. The encoding scheme used for the recording is far more important than the discs you use. Some of the lossless encodings are better in their reproductions than others. But, save for iTunes, you won't catch me using anything but the full bandwidth.
My view is that one needs to conduct objective tests themselves, instead of following the advice carte blanche from these boards. You'll thank yourself for proving many of them wrong, or right. It saves the wallet doing so.

How to make High Quality HD DVDs from iMovie11 Toast 10 Titanium Pro?

I was searching all over the net to find answers to a problem that I have with film making at home. I'm trying to become an Indie film maker on a small amount of money to start out, so to speak. I've asked Apple over and over for some help, but they say - we can't because we don't support third party solutions. I have iMovie 11 and iMovie HD 6. I use AVCHD 1080i camcorders and a GoPro HD Hero for time lapse shots. Toast 10 Titanium Pro and a external LaCie d2 Blu-ray Drive also external hard drives. I'm trying to make high quality HD dvd's and then Blu-ray disks later also for my ( high elevation mountain video) demos. Codec/compression - bit rate/data rate - key frame - sample rate and what software to use or not is all confusing me. I've tried and I'm still not making video that looks as good as it did when first imported into iMovie. Can anyone please help me out with this mater. Thank You Good Day

Good FAQ type information [is at this link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2424451]
In general, import to iMovie in FULL, not LARGE.
Export from iMovie using the SHARE menu. Use the 1080P Preset. You can SHARE/iTUNES, SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER, SHARE/MOVIE..., or FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT. All will use the 1080P preset.
You can also SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME, but I would not recommend it unless you know what you are doing.
Drag this file into TOAST 10 with BluRay plugin.
Check FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES in TOAST to make sure you are burning at highest quality.

About Roxio Toast 8 Titanium software

In case I can't use the Yamaha CD burner with OS X (an issue I posted earlier) I'm looking to perhaps replace it. I still have to check some solutions but
I read about the Roxio Toast® 8 Titanium software
How does this work ? Do I install it on the Mac OS X and then the tray on my computer that for the moment can only read (CD and DVD-ROM) will be able to write too ?
Or do I still need a CD burner hardware ? And if so, can I use the Yamaha CRW2100FXZ which use Adaptec Toast version 4.1.2. ?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi,
Speed is absolutely of no importance to me.
I only use it to back up data (files, folders,photos, etc). If it takes 20 minutes, I do something else, cleanup my desk, take a snack, whatever.
If you're only going to burn cd's, you'll need about 1.4Gb of space. The application itself is less than 200M.
I checked my MacIntosh HD and it has a
capacity of 9.54 GB.
Used: 8.7 GB
Available: 860 MB
I cannot change the 8.7 GB ; they are all technical folders (System Folder, Applications, etc.) Only 233MB are personals
So I cannot install much here: You say I need 1.4 GB for this software alone. If I cannot install this on the external drive, then I'm in trouble because I need to install a film scanner too and I cannot install it elsewhere than on the HD.
Perhaps I will post another topic since we are moving away from Toast (the topic is "about Roxio Toast® 8 Titanium software") and I want to speak in general about what can and cannot be installed on a external drive.
Can't say for sure if using the external drive will help. Toast 4 / 5 used to allow you to specify the scratch disk to use, but Toast 7 doesn't. Perhaps I should read the manual.
Well reading is good. You don't have to read the whole manual only the installation page. If you could, that will be great. I wrote to Roxio a few days ago with a question unrelated to this and still no answer.

Toast 9 Titanium - not sure which forum to use

Sorry that I did not see a specific forum for Toast 9 Titanium.
I am spanking new to making a custom DVD. What I would like to do is take parts of different DVDs that I have and put them on a blank DVD.
My question is 1) is there a video tutorial and 2) how do I "read" or see the contents of the DVD, to know which "files" I want to transfer to the custom DVD project?
Thanks very much for any help.

X-Fi Titanium and Windows 7 installation disk

Hi,
I've bought a X-Fi Titanium card which came with a driver?CD, I would like to know if the driver CD which came it's safe to install on Windows 7, or to download the drivers and Control Panel from the web an to install them instead.
The CD contains also applications besides drivers, but I think they are more Vista compatible since on the CD is copyrighted 2008.
So it's ok to install the CD and then to apply the updates from the web, or to install only the web drivers and control panel ?

Re: X-Fi Titanium and Windows 7 installation diskT This is the best thing to install to take care of all your needs:
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/SB-X-Fi-Series-Support-Pack-2-0-05-5-2009/td-p/527485"]http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/SB-X-Fi-Series-Support-Pack-2-0-05-5-2009/td-p/527485[/url]
Then you can update to the newest Creative driver and applications afterward. The software CD works in Windows 7, but I felt that my system was sluggish and unresponsi've afterward. So, I recommend you try Daniel K.'s pack, and then you can upgrade your driver and any other applications that Creative has updated since. There are a few things in the installation scripts for the applications and drivers on the CD that just dont work, in my opinion. That is why Daniel made his package, because he wanted to integrate things a bit more smoothly. I have run an X-Fi Fatality PCI and now my Titanium Fatality PRo PCI-express card with the support pack and it works great under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 in either 32 or 64 bit flavors.

Installing Roxio Toast 8 Titanium on Leopard

Hi,
I am trying to install Toast 8 Titanium on Leopard but I keep getting the following error:
"The alias "CD Spin Doctor" cannot be copied to the destination, perhaps the destination does not support this type of alias"
and the install fails.
I wondered if anyone else had the same issue or knows what the problem might be.
Thanks

Toast 9 titanium avchd powerpc

Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there can give me a review/feedback regarding Toast 9 Titanium on a powerpc.
1. Can it really play my AVCHD (*.mts) files? I read the roxio forums and some folks were complaining that the quality was and that the video was choppy. Do you have the same experience -- specifically on a powerpc?
2. Can it really convert the AVCHD file into a format that can be imported into imovie hd 6? If so about how long would a 10 min movie take to convert?
thanks.

I cannot comment on using Toast 9 - but i have had no trouble importing AVCHD clips into iMovie 6 using Voltaic - which converts the MTS flies into Apple Intermediate Codec files. It does take a long time (eg - 45 minutes worth of clips took about 24 hours) - this is on a iMac G5.
After editing - i hope to export the video back to my old HD camera - in HDV format on mini DV tape (Except i have not been able to try this out yet - due to a problem with very jerky video playback in iMovie since upgrading to QT 7.5)

Toast 8 Titanium by Roxio

I recently bought Logic Pro 7.2
I heard that this has CD burning program.....
Do I need to also buy Toast 8 Titanium by Roxio ???

I'll bet a fair number of people still don't know about Waveburner. It's a separate app that gets installed with Logic Pro. I think it's in the applications folder (I put it in my dock).
The new Toast Eight (ha!) now includes it's companion program, Jam and can use AU plugins, as well as dither 24-bit files to 16-bits. It's great for those who don't already have Waveburner, or if you want to span data backup DVDs or other less mundane chores. I believe they lowered the price with this version as well. It used to cost $175 for Toast + Jam, now it's only around $80 new.
I still use it for burning rough mixes because it's quick and simple - but I've had it since version 5 and am used to it.

Help! Toast 6 Titanium FAILS to "burn" a Disk Image

Hello everyone.
I was using Toast 6 Titanium to "burn" backup discs for myself, first I tried duplicating or "copying" the Mac OS X Tiger DVD Installer, and it was a success.
Then I tried to "burn" a Disk Image of Suitcase X to a CD (The Disk Image was created using an earlier version of Toast, and quite possibly in OS 9 environment, 'cause I have that image stored in my Ext. HD for quite sometime...), but I keep getting fail error message after I hit the 'Rec' button:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
(OK button)
So what does this means?? If I can "dub" a DVD, so could this be because the disk image was created with an older version of Toast or something??
I haven't tried directly "dubbing" a CD... so doesn't know if that is working or not?? Or it's the type/brand of CD-R I am using??
Thanks and cheers

You would think that crating a disk image in one operating system would be recognised in another, this isn't necessarly so.
Use the same one redo it using the same computer and I'll bet it works..
The error code is because OS9 is a completely different operating system.
