Toast 9 - blu-ray

Has anyone tried using Toast 9 (newest version) to burn a blu-ray after encoding with compressor?

I just tried it, though just out to a disc image file. I used MPEG-2 for the compression in Compressor, with the 30 minute HD preset. The contents of the disc looked suitably alien to me! In there somewhere was a video file with an m2ts extension. It plays very nicely in either Toast Video Player or in VLC.
Here's the file structure it made:
AUXDATA

--CLIPINF
----00001.clpi
--index.bdmv
--MovieObject.bdmv
--PLAYLIST

  • Fcpx, Blu-Ray & toast 11 = Burn both files in the img?

    Looking to burn a Blu-Ray that is compatible with a standard home Blu-Ray player.
    short:
    On a FCPX Blu-Ray IMG, do you include both files in the burn or just the BDMG?
    Long:
    Job is all 5D mark 3 footage.
    I have FCX 10.0.8. & output finished job to "share" BLU-Ray.
    Result is a .IMG that when opened holds a BDMG file and a folder labeled CERTIFICATE.
    I have a Mac Book Pro with a Blu-Ray burner.
    Also have Toast 11 with the DB add-on.
    What I don't have is a standard home Blu-Ray player to test the burn.
    I do have a Blu-Ray player on my Mac but it's not the same as testing a standard home Blu-Ray player because on a home player when you put the disc in it either plays or doesn't.
    Anyone experionce this before? And knows the solution to this diddy?
    Thanks!
    I would spend hours searching all the... results, as I normally do, but need to get it out tonight :-}

    I think I found the answer. Looks like Both go in the burn.
    1st, sorry for the short hand speech and typos. (BDMG should be BDMV)
    In videohelp form it was suggested that both the BDMV and the CERTIFICATE should be in the burn.
    http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/325212-How-to-burn-a-BDMV-folder
    Incase someone is searching for this same question, I thought I'd give the answer I found and break it down a little further.
    Q: How do I output to Blu-Ray in Final Cut Pro X? I don't see a Blu-Ray option.
    A: In 10.0.8 that option is hidden from the main "share" menu. 
    Here is Apples "how to" page on how to find it, along with other info on Destination Prefs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12718
    Basically you select Share, then the plus sign "Add Destination" located at the bottom of the list, then Blu-Ray. 
    When you select Blu-Ray, in the preference window, the first pref. is "Output device" with two options your burner or hard drive. If you pick hard drive you get a .IMG that you would open and place the contents into a burn.
    Q: What Blu-Ray burner is in your Mac?
    A:  a Panasonic UJ267
    Very overpriced and had to modify (voided the warranty) in order for it to fit in my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
    I switched one of the covers on the Panasonic with my existing to get the right fit. One screw hole had a "no tamper" label that I destroyed, so that voided my warranty.
    Q: why not an external?
    A: I have one but it's big and needs AC power so it's not easy to move.
    This is soooooo much easier because it's so mobile.
    24 Gig backups of all my stuff for a $1 per burn is priceless.
    Best of luck!

  • 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?'

  • Blu Ray onto DVD Using Toast 10

    I have tried several output resolutions and codecs that I send to Toast 10 from I Movie, i.e. MPEG-4. Apple Intermediate, etc, all at 1920 resolution. Toast will burn the blu ray onto the dvd, but when I play it, the video has lines on it during any motion that took place in the video. Any suggestions?

    I tried using AIC at 1920 selecting 1080p but still have the problem. Are there some other settings I need to select? Thanks for the reply.

  • Toast with a Blu-ray external writer?

    Hello everybody!
    I am very frustrated because I just got the Samsung writer for Mac and Windows...and is not compatible with Mac...so a waste of money, and now I need to buy a real Blu-ray DVD burner for Mac...
    I see a lot of people using Toaster...my question is, and is stupid at this point (sorry)....If I get the software online from Toast, do I also need to get the writer device? it comes with it? IF NOT, CAN i JUST USE THE SOFTWATE FROM TOAST AND THEN THE external BLU-RAY WRITER FROM SAMSUNG?
    THANKS TO ALL!

    Sure you can remove the DVD burner and put in a SATA BD-RW drive, or add the BR burner. There are 2 5.25 inch bays and only one is occupied. You will need software to watch BluRay movies and burn Blu-Ray media but it will work fine.

  • 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.

  • Best bit rate for blu rays with Toast 11

    I'm burning a ProRes422 (uncompressed @ 18GB) movie to blu-ray using Toast 11 Titanium. The maximum bit rate is 9.0 Mbps. Is this sufficient? It seems very low...
    Compressor has never worked properly with burning a blu-ray (I know there are more custom settings). I would use this but have had no luck, the blu-ray never burns properly only had luck with Toast.

    Thanks for the info, somehow I've had to pay extra for the blu-ray plug in to burn a blu-ray at 26Mbps.
    Now I need to figure out why the audio now is 'cracking' on the deeper parts of the soundtrack. The audio is set to PCM 96kHz 24 bit just like the original Pro Res file. In the original it does not 'peak' or 'distort' on the deeper parts of the soundtrack when playing in Quicktime, not sure what is happening to the audio after being burned to blu-ray. I might have to post in Soundtrack to get some feedback, any suggestions?

  • Toast 11 and ASUS Blue-Ray burner not working together!

    Hey All,
    I recently got an ASUS SBC-06D2X-U Blue-Ray burner and found out that little "Mac compatabile" label isn't correct. Had to get Toast 11. Now I have that and the disk spits out still when I try to burn. I don't know what to do at this point. Disks are 4x and burner is 6x, but that shouldn't matter.
    Help please!

    it has nothing to do with windows or mac..
    Your bluray from Asus its COMBO, that model doesn´t record bluray,
    ASUS SBC-06D2X-U its bluray combo (read-only blurays )
    ASUS SBW-06D2X-U its blurays writer

  • Workflow asked: 70min hd project (PAL 1080i50)to blue ray disc with toast 11

    i tried to render a final cut Pro HD project (PAL 1080i50) into a blue ray disc with toast 11.
    At the end camera pans juddered in a fast rhythm
    My steps are:
    build a HD timeline in FCP
    export timeline to a quicktime movie
    load the quicktime movie in Toast 11
    toast dit convert the qtm-file again
    and burned the blue ray with the result described above.
    Thanks for answers

    Please examine my workflow. Perhaps you quickly find out any error:
    footage: PAL 1080i50 field order : lower field
    70 minutes sequence: the same options
    exported timeline into a Quicktime Movie - same option
    loaded the resulting QTM into Toast 11
    Tost started to rerender during 2 hours and burned blue ray disc
    at last
    medium: verbatim double layer blue-ray disc
    Player: tested on two Philips blue ray players
    Result
    on tv-screen (hd flat screen philips) camera pans judder in a regular rhythm, perhaps twice in a second: the actor seems making little jumps when he walks silently from the right to the left or vice versa.
    earlyer we tried to burn a blue ray disc directly from FCP 7.0.3 by using the option "send to blue ray"
    The result was the same.

  • Best Compressor 3.5 Settings For Blu Ray Authoring in Roxio Toast

    I want to export a 2 hour FCP7 project for eventual burning onto blu ray (BD-R DL) disk using Roxio Toast and I was wondering what are the settings in Compressor 3.5 to be able to achieve the absolute best quality file to take into Roxio?
    As an aside, is Compressor even required for this or can I import the full res FCP7.mov file?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure about this, but you may only be able to use h.264 for video to make a blu-ray inside of Compressor.
    I would suggest encoding in MPEG-2/AC3 in Compressor and then using Toast to author and burn.

  • Toast 9 Blu-Ray FCE Codec setting?

    Hello, I have been experimenting with the new Toast 9 since it can produce HD clips in Blu-Ray format on standard DVD+R's to work in a BD Player.
    I have a new Sony AVCHD SR11 camcorder and import it into FCE4. I have tried several codec's but when Toast burns the disc in Blu-Ray it forces the the image to 4:3 from 16:9. I viewed the file and it plays 16:9 in Quicktime but the BD plays in my PS3 and my Sony 300 BD player at 4:3.
    I cannot figure out what Codec to use in FCE4 and hope others have figured this out. The picture looks great played on a BD player except the image is squashed to 4:3
    Thanks for the help

    Thanks for the reply. It is 1920x1080 in QT. I was poking around in this forum and noticed guys were trying MP4 to play back on a Blu-ray player. I will have to try that out. So if I get this right, all that Toast 9 is doing is converting the file to MP4? I might have to do a little more research. I was hoping others were playing around with this.

  • Best way to export timeline footage to Toast 10 (blu ray)

    I have a 2hr production that has been shot on a Panasonic HMC150 AVCHD cam, L/T into FCP as Prorez LT and I would like to export this into Toast and burn a Blu Ray disc for my client. Is the best method to use Quicktime conversion to H264 or export as a Quicktime movie using current settings (prorez LT). My end destination is Toast 10.
    Any help would be great ..........

    Export current settings/self contained/video and audio/no recompression.
    Don't do QT conversion.
    Set your preferences for encoding in Toast, and use that self contained file.
    Be prepared for a long encode.

  • Best export format for encoding & burning Blu-ray with toast?

    Hi!
    Have a 1 hour and fifteen minutes program which I burn to Blu-Ray with Toast 10/HD. The problem is the time it takes, about 25 hours. Is this resonable really?
    Maybe it´s depending on the format I put out from Final Cut - H.264, 1920 x 1080 (1888 x 1062)Stereo (L R), 48,000 kHz
    Does anyone know if there is a better export setting in Final Cut to get the process work faster in Toast?
    Best / Urban

    I've never used toast to burn a BluRay however I have used encore and I export 10 bit uncompressed out of FCP and compress that. If your over an hour of program you'll have to scale back the data rate to make it fit, a 90 minute feature looks good content wise, but any text on it will show signs of the reduced data rate. the encode typically takes about 8 hours to build the disk image on an 8 core mac then about 45 minutes to burn from the image. I burn first to a rewritable in case of issues, then if it passes muster I'll burn the master

  • Best way to burn Blu-ray if transcoding is already done? Toast 10?

    I've seen the answer to this question in the past, but just spent some time searching the forums and couldn't find the answer.
    I currently choose the route of FCP > Share to burn Blu-rays.  No problem, everything's good (except limited menu options).  However, once I close out of the program after the very long transcoding time, what is the best way to make another copy of the blu-ray without transcoding again, and without the first blu-ray I made (for example if the client already has the disc and wants another copy)?
    I believe Toast 10 is one answer, but before I go and update my current Toast to 10 I wanted to see if this was the preferred method, or, if there is a way to do it in Compressor.
    Thank you!
    Eric

    In the ~Library, Application Support>Apple Qmaster you'll find Create Disk. Open it.  If your project is on the recently opened list, you can burn additional copies that way.
    Or consider saving your file as a disk image; choose Hard Drive as Output Device. Pretty sure Toast will take an img file. Or use Disk Utilities.
    Good luck.
