Toast and 16:9

Hi all,
can anyone tell me how to keep 16:9 aspect ratio when burning a DVD in toast. It keeps the exported .mov squeezed. I have been using DVDSP but toast would be much more efficient if it can be done.
Cheers for any input,
Si

One way to do it is to Build the DVD in DVD SP (make sure to set the track aspect to 16:9 letterbox, will letterbox on 4:3, full on 16:9) then Burn a DVD using Toast (burn from Video_TS option, make sure to keep Audio_TS folder there also) I have not really explored Toast to do 16:9 so there may be another option and have not bothered getting 7 yet. But this works otherwise.

Send both Toast and Tile Notification simultaneously using Template feature of Notification Hub

Hi, I am using WNS(Windows Notification Service) With Notification Hub to send Push Notifications to my WP 8.1 Application. I am basically sending localized notification using Template feature of Notification Hub. I have used Localized
News example reference for sending localized used.
Here are my templates and how I am registering them, also How my Dictionary payloads look like :-
Toast Template Method :-
public static string GetToastText01Template(string param,string line1)
return string.Format(@"<toast launch=""$({0})"">
<visual>
<binding template=""ToastText01"">
<text id=""1"">$({1})</text>
</binding>
</visual>
</toast>", param, line1);
Tile Template Method :-
public static string CreateSquare150_150BackgroundTextTemplateWns(string backText)
return string.Format(@"<tile>
<visual >
<binding template=""TileSquarePeekImageAndText01"">
<image id=""1"" src=""ms-appx:///ApplicationIcon_173_173.png"" alt=""alt text"" />
<text id=""1"">$({0})</text>
</binding>
</visual>
</tile>", backText);
Registration With Notificaiton Hub (Part of Register Method basically) :-
var toasttemplate = GetToastText01Template("NavigateToPageUri" ,GetToastCultureKey(culture));
await _hubClient.CreateWindowsTemplateRegistrationAsync(ChannelUri, toasttemplate, tags);
var tileTemplate = ToastFactory.CreateSquare150_150BackgroundTextTemplateWns(GetTileBackTextCultureKey(culture));
await _hubClient.CreateWindowsTemplateRegistrationAsync(ChannelUri, tileTemplate, tags)
Toast payload In terms of Dictionary :-
Tile Payload Dictionary :-
Note :- I have ensured that Keys for both the templates must be different during registering the templates so that both templates doesn't mix with each other.
Problem :- When I am registering only one Template, doesn't matter Whether it is Toast or Tile, I am able to get the notification on my app successfully(Both of Toast and Tile ,individually, working fine). But When I register both of the
Templates simultaneously or Individually, then none on them is working.
Questions :-
1) Can you let me know how basically Notification Hub select the Template from Payload Dictionary ? Like in case of two different registered templates.
2) How can we send Two localized Notifications simultaneously using Template feature of Notification Hub?

Hi Tanuj,
Selection of template/registration always based on tags not based on payload keys.
Just to explain, you have following two devices.
device A - toast template, tags: {"en-us", "toast"}
device A - tile template , tags : {"en-us", "tile"}
device B - toast template, tags: {"en-fr", "toast"}
device B - tile template , tags : {"en-fr", "tile"}
If you call a method SendTemplateNotificationAsync({“properties of template”}, “en-us”)) like this, That will target the toast and tile both notifications to the device A.
But if you just want to send the toast notification to device A, you have to call something like this,
SendTemplateNotificationAsync({“properties of template”}, “en-us && toast”)). FYI Second parameter is a tag expression: Please refer following link to know more about tag expressions:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn530749.aspx
To answer your second question, register template with language tag along with other tags (just like above example). Then when you are sending notification, include that tag in your tag expression.
Example: SendTemplateNotificationAsync({“properties of template”}, “en-us && toast”)), this one send toast notifications to all “en-us” local devices.
Thanks,
Sateesh

Toast and wonky preferences on a Powerbook G4?

I am having trouble even force quitting Toast in Tiger. the machine has to be completely shut down by holding the power button.
I notice that the Toast preferences and even some others, while they have the correct name have the Microsoft Entourage symbol on the icon. What is happening here?
I have run Disk Utility, Diskwarrior and deleted the preferences and still the preference icons are wrong and Toast 8 will not shut down or run either for that matter.
Help

First,
What versions of Toast and M$ are you using?
Be sure to update to the latest ones as there have been some fixes to both.
Second
What are you doing with toast? DVD's, Movies, Data, etc?
The reason I ask this is I had a similar problem a while back while trying to make some DVD Movies. The problem turned out to be that even though the file sizes showed the correct size the actual files internally were corrupted. I trashed them and re-exported the files to make the DVD Movies.
Search for Roxio on the hard drive you will find these Prefs to delete:
com.roxio.Toast.plist
Roxio Toast Prefs
You may also want to delete com.apple.finder.plist
Sometimes one has ot manualy reset the icons via info as the icon will sometimes get imbedded into the app's info.
Have you tried to also create another user account and see if it happens when that user is logged in? If it doesnt then it is within the login that it happens on, if it happens still then you may need to reinstall the app. You may need to trash all references to the app including the app itself.
More than likely you have a conflict or corrupted file.
Worst case though is hardware failure of one type or another.
Good luck

Most of my equipment has toasted, and I need the data back.

I must have been a very, very bad person in a past life. This week has been more technologically harrowing than I'd thought possible.
My cherished Titanium Powerbook died after a valiant battle, and the Apple techs said that there was nothing they could do, Apple just doesn't support such antiques (not sure if they meant me or the PB). They did let me download my files onto my 80G Smartdisk FireLite, and though the PB hard drive was acting a bit wonky and transfer was slow, I got most of the files. Most everything already had been backed up on the FireLite, but I grabbed the remainder. This means that My Entire Life resided on the FireLite.
I was about to download the files onto the G4 cube, and plugged in a USB hub with an optical mouse and a jump drive on it--and something started to burn. The jump drive, the mouse, and the hub fried. Now it looks as though the well-named FireLite is toast too, since though it powers up, it won't mount and nothing recognizes it. The cube is fine.
I still have the hard drive from the late lamented Powerbook, so if it holds up a bit longer, I ought to be able to save most if not all the files. Can I do this myself if I can get an external case to power the PB drive? And if the PB drive does indeed hold up, could I continue to use it? (This would be helpful, since the MacBook Pro won't run Classic, which is necessary in the short term for all my current programs and most peripherals.)
If an external case is feasible, can someone give me specs for what to get? I'm hoping it's affordable, though I'd also look for one to borrow.
If it isn't feasible, would someone please shoot me now?
Thanks.

Hi A,
Just one thought to add: I would get a FireWire enclosure so if you ever want to clone an entire HD on a Mac, you would then have a secure backup which was also able to boot said Mac.

Converting DVD Files to DV with Toast and Storage Issues

Hello all.
In regard to my previous posting of converting to DV in Toast, I have started this new thread because I can't seem to reply to the other posting. When I originally dragged the Video TS folder from the DVD into the Toast window, it somehow didn't load completely although it seemed as though it did.
I then decided to import the material via the Media pane and everything then worked fine. These are movies originally filmed in 8 mm silent movie film a long time ago. I had sent some of them away to be transferred directly from film to MiniDv tape which gave me excellent clarity and color. But that was expensive. So I decided to transfer my remaining film which I had transferred to VHS tape when that first technology first came out.

Music dvd in Toast and iTunes 9.2.1

I am trying to create a music dvd in Toast 10, but it always crashes right at the very end when it is supposed to write the dvd or the image file. Looking at the recovery file in Toast, the last completed file is the dvd folder, though that is probably not completed.
Someone on the Toast 10 Pro forums suggested that burning a music dvd from Toast 10 Pro was messed up with iTunes latest update. At first I was trying to burn 26 playlists (26 cd's in other words), and Toast would crash. Then I combined playlists simply by dragging the separate tracks into a single folder. That's where I am now. But Toast still will not burn the dvd or finish the disk image. Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.
Mac Pro ver 1.1, 13 gig ram, 4 X 2tb hd's, OSX 10.6.4, Toast 10 Pro 10.0.7

Found out how. Lots of work with manual entry of track names. But it works.

Toast and DVDSP

Just a quick and easy (dumb) question.
I often see several of you menion that it is better to burn in Toast than in DVDSP. I am interested in buying Toast if that is true.
My question: how do the interfaces work together? When burning a DVD in Toast, do you just use the Video_TS folder created with DVDSP, or is there an option in DVDSP to burn with Toast after it is installed?
Thanks!
Mike

Mike:
The best workflow I found is Creating Disc Image in DVDSP and burning it with Toast. But you can burn the image file with Disk Utility too.
Another option is using the VIDEO_TS folder in the Video option of Toast to build a DVD from a VIDEO_TS folder.
There is no connection between DVDSP and Toast, you must use one after another, but using Toast you can set burning speed and set copy quantities.
You'll find a detailed description of the workflow in the link.
Besides that, Toast is a GREAT application.
Hope that helps !

Toast and dvd burning

I wonder if it is possible to burn a VIDEO_TS file on a dvd with when using toast, but not using the dvd-rom (UDF) option.
just dragging it as a data file. I guess it should play on DVD player.
Why do we use the dvd-rom option?
I wanted to make dvd and inside it put an image encrypted video_ts file for safe distributing and restricting anauthorised access.
thanks

Video DVD discs must be in UDF format to be playable on DVD players. You can burn data DVDs in the HFS+ and ISO 9660 formats but not video DVDs if you want them to play.

Toast and Apple SuperDrive - Serious Compatibility Issue

My friend's G5's DVD SuperDrive suddenly can't mount DVD that burnt with Toast 7 and 6, why is that? Only DVD that burnt with Disk Utility can be mount, I am still not known yet which exactly model he's owning now. will update when I am informed. Anyone has the same problem?
* All his softwares are up-to-date via Software Update.

Chances are that the media he is using is the problem.
I doubt very seriously that it has anything to do with the version of Toast that is being used.
You will find that not all Media is compatable with all drives, both in speed and format.
In otherwords, if your machine will only read and write at 2X and using DVD-R media.
There is your problem. DVD+R or RW will not work as well as if he used or burned the project above 2X, lets say 8X using 8X media you can't read it with your computer.
The newer optical drives will read and write at the faster speeds at 8X and above, and will also read and write to
DVD-R DVD-RW DVD+R DVD+RW.
DVD-R Media is the most widely recognized and used media that will play on just about anything including most computers, 95%. Anything other than this media will not work accept on the newer burners and players.

Macbook OS is toast and DVD drive issue to boot, help please!!!

So my girlfriends macbook booted and it only shows a folder with a question mark. Ok, so I've done all the simple things I've come across on the web. SO I finally get a copy of the disc to fix it and I can't put the disc in. As far as I can tell there is no disc in it and doing all the tricks to get it to eject yields no results so I am assuming there isn't one in it. If I push harder than I would like the disc will go in about 40% but seems blocked by something on the right side of the slot.
So my 2 questions are how do I get a disc in and if not how do I fix this thing without being able to insert a disc?
The only other computer available is a PC. The Macbook is out of warranty and she doesn't have the money for apples expensive repairs.
Please tell me there is something that can be done.

Since it's out of warranty, you could always take the drive out of the system and take it apart to see if indeed there is anything in it or not. Otherwise, you could just buy an external DVD-ROM, like they sell on the cheap for netbooks. It's not free, but it is cheaper than taking it somewhere to get fixed.

Late 2011 Macbook Pro battery is toast, and I am not sure why!

I have had my late 2011 Macbook Pro for 3 years and 5 months. Before I left for vacation on July 28th my battery held 98 percent charge. I turned it off and put it in my closet. Now when I have came back my battery holds 2.2 percent, not even enough to be unplugged for a second (128mah). I of course expect my battery to go at some point but my battery has only been through 340 cycles and apples site says the max is 1000. Any suggestions into why my battery is dead after so few cycles? Additionally any suggestions into where I can buy a battery for my computer?

ipodperson1,
your battery holding 98% charge before you left for vacation doesn’t tell the most relevant information — what its Full Charge Capacity was then. Is 128 mA·h its current Full Charge Capacity, or its current Charge Remaining? That is, is the battery merely drained, awaiting a full recharge, or is it now unrechargeable?
You can buy a replacement battery for your MacBook Pro by taking it to an Apple store, or if you prefer to replace the battery yourself, you can buy a suitable battery from reputable third-parties, e.g. NewerTech batteries from OWC.
