Toast dvd under yosemite 10.10.2 fails to create a dvd for home player

I downloaded from iTunes Apps the application called Toast DVD two days back at a cost of $22.95 or so.
Immediately after installation, I burned a dvd from one of home videos. I set the options to NTSC as I am in Canada,
The DVD created does not work on my home dvd player; it also failed to play on my macbook.
My macbook pro 13 has Yosemite 10.10.2 installed.
I contacted the support staff at Corel for Toast DVD,  The product shows a version 2.1.10800.
They have not responded completely to resolve the issue.
I'd appreciate any help.

It's always a good idea to buy good quality DVDs because lower quality discs often will have imperfections that increase playback errors. That said, it doesn't sound like the discs are the primary problem. Are you importing the movies or dragging into the menu button area (not drop zones)? What's the total length in time of your slideshows/movies? (under 60 min gets you max quality). It will take a long time to encode video depending on the speed of your processor.
Here are some general tips to increase the odds of successful burns:
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of free space on your main hard drive for scratch space.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, Verbatim, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) I use MacJanitor (from VersionTracker.com) followed by Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (Save to Disc Image) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slower than the highest rated speed of your burner (eg. 1 or 2x on a 4x burner).
I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie or iPhoto (fewer errors).
No other apps open.
Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs.
If you use iDVD for burning the DVD (and don't make a disk image), don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

    Hi, i had the same problem yesterday and after searching I found no solution to this error.
    Today i just burned the original Mountain Lion.dmg to a portable hard driver then reinstall the OS. And it seemed that the os had been restored and the error had been fixed.
    And, i guess there's some app that changes some documents of the system. So when you rewrite the os, u get the bug fixed.
    Good luck to you guys.

  • Copy cd & dvd for home use

    i read recently that the UK was about to vote in a (for lack of a better word) legislation that would allow the "legal" copying of cd's and (more importantly) dvd's, for home use only.
    i think this is a wonderful idea, and i have very strong feelings and opinions regarding this. but my question is, is there something in the works like that in the US?
    i applaud the UK for their foresight in seeing that the "old" laws do not work in today's age, and would hope that the US sees the need for something like this here.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The subject is perhaps not as straight forward as you might think.
    Legislation allows you to make a back up copy of content you have purchased yourself for your own use only, I believe this applies in both the UK and the US.
    The issue is that whilst this makes backing up CD's legitimate, it does not do the same for protected DVD's. Legislation prohibits the circumvention of copy protection, and you can't copy a protected DVD (even for back up) unless you also break the legislation on copy protection.

  • Burn a DVD for TV player

    I need to do something that seems pretty simple, but is really giving me a headache. I want to take my FCP project that is all edited and ready to roll and burn it to a DVD so that it plays in a regular DVD player hooked up to a TV.
    I have exported the Sequence as 640x480 Quicktime and as 720x480 Quicktime. Both get stretched when I burn the video through Roxio's Toast.
    How else should I burn it?
    I have iDVD, but don't want all the menu crap you are forced to use. Just a simple video on DVD that plays without menus.
    Any help would be appreciated

    In FCP, go to File-Export->QuickTime Movie (NOT 'Using QuickTime Conversion'). When the export window opens, place a check mark next to 'Make Self-Contained' ... do NOT 'Recompress All Frames.' Keep the settings at 'Current Settings.' If you've added chapter markers in FCP, choose to include DVD-SP chapter markers, then export. This will make a file with the same settings as your FCP Timeline so it will be a rather large file.
    Once the export is done, you have several options:
    1. Import the new file into iDVD.
    2. Import the new file into DVD-SP.
    3. Import the new file into Compressor.
    4. Import the file into some other compression/authoring/burning program.
    NOTE: While Toast is a great burning utility, it lack a lot when it comes to encoding. Instead use DVD-SP or Compressor/DVD-SP for encoding and authoring. After that you can still use Toast for burning only if you want.

  • Recording a surround sound cd/dvd for home theater

    I am trying to burn a 5.1 surround sound cd/dvd with different audio in each channel.  I have created the file without any problems and it will play on my computer in surround sound.  When I burn the cd/dvd (I have tried both) all of the audio plays in all channels. How do I burn the file onto a disc so that it will play correctly as surround sound in my home theater?

    I know this question was asked ages ago, but I'm sure others are probably looking for an answer too (as I was over a year ago, when I started working with Audition 3).
    In my experience, there is no way to directly export a functional 5.1 file from Audition.  You can surround mix a file using the surround panner, but you can't export in the file format used by most home theater systems (.ac3 - Dolby Surround Sound).  My solution was to track down a standalone encoder, although there may be pugins available to allow Audition to do this.  After surround mixing, I export to 5 mono wav files and then drop them into this absolutely ancient program called Soft Encode, which creates a single, interleaved .ac3 file out of my source files.  Then, I take the .ac3 file, create a blank video the same length, and use my video editor to burn them to a DVD.
    From what my research turned up, the reason Audition does not have the capability to export in .ac3 is because of the expense of licensing with Dolby.  I would love to see a more sophisticated surround panner in AA4, as well as the ability to natively export .ac3 files, but by the same token, I don't want to see a skyrocketing price, so I'm waiting to see what happens!

  • Dreamweaver cs6 fails to create a folder for the scripts

    Dreamweaver CS6 does not automatically create a folder to store the scripts therefore the navigation bar is not created as it should? Does it need to be re installed on the network. Is it something on the network that prevents it from creating the folders?

    I have no trouble creating folders manually in the local site Files panel (F8).  Right click on sitename.  Select New Folder.  Name it.  Move scripts into to that folder.

  • Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

    If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
    I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
    Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
    Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
    I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
    These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
    The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
    I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
    Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
    Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
    I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
    Any other ideas?

    iWork '09 Numbers fails to launch under Yosemite.  Suspecting it may be Yosemite related.  iWork '08 Numbers launches and runs ok.  No indications of launch failure in Console.  It just doesn't launch.  This is only important to me because older spreadsheets require opening and saving in iWork '09 Numbers before the new Numbers version under Yosemite can open them.

    I finally discovered that I can launch Numbers (iWork '09) (version 2.3) by launching the image internal to the Numbers package (MacOS) in Terminal.  I also discovered that KeyNote shares this same problem but not Pages.
    In summary, I cannot launch iWork '09 Numbers or KeyNote via the normal Finder Icon launch.
    There are no diagnostics posted to Console when I try the Finder launch, the App just never shows itself nor is it in the running applications list.
    Disk Utility shows no permissions issues, and repair shows no issues.  Anyone have any ideas?
    I cannot find my iWork '09 install disks but I did a Time Machine restore of Numbers from several years ago but that image exhibits the identical problem.
    The iWork '08 apps work just fine under Yosemite.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use or to export to iDVD and burn VD from there?  Why?

    Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use -  or to export iMovie project to iDVD and burn DVD from there?  Why?

    Toast probably maintains better quality if you are just doing simple conversion direct from your camera straight into Toast and then to DVD. There's a lot less transcoding steps and loss of quality in that direct to DVD disk creation in Toast. However, having said that,...There's good arguments probably for both.
    What I've seen promoted most often (as most people don't have Toast or aren't motivated to buy it) is to Share to Media Browser (choose the Large size option) and then from inside iDVD click the Media Button and the Movies button to find the project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Drag that project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.

  • Why are external hard drives and similar continually self-ejecting under Yosemite?

    When are Apple going to sort out the problem of external hard disk drives and other similar devices continually self-ejecting under Yosemite. This is a problem I have had ever since I upgraded my 21.5" iMac from Mavericks to Yosemite last year, and I when I upgraded to a 27" iMac last November with Yosemite pre-installed the same issue occurs. I cannot even update my TomTom SatNav because it keeps ejecting while the update is trying to process. I cannot use a WD external drive for backup purposes, and even memory sticks eject. This problem has only started with Yosemite and I do not believe I am the only one experiencing it as it has been aired on the communities website previously. I wish Apple would tackle this problem and issue a Yosemite update that resolves the issue. My present Yosemite version no.is 10.10.3.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
