Toast Titanium Question

I have just loaded this software up and have attempted to record onto my first DVD+R disc, but cannot get it to work in my DVD player or even my Mac.....I think this is because I chose the DivX choice in the menu on the left had side.
Could someone please talk me through how to record onto a disc from the start. The movies I have are in AVI format. DO i just drag to Toast and record as a DVD-Video? I don't wanna keep randomly trying as it will wreck all my DVD's.
Any help would be very gratefully received.

Thanks for the answer, I finally got it to work, however when I played it in the DVD player, the sound is not in sync with the actual movie, it plays about 10 secs prior. Any ideas? I put the picture quality up to the best setting, does that make a difference?

Question;Will Toast Titanium work with new'SnowLeopard?

So I do have Toast 7.....will it work? do I need some kind of 'upgrade on my Toast Titanium for it to work with Snow L??? thx in advance! Larry

I've burned a couple of CDs with Toast Titanium 8 with success since installing SL. Haven't tried DVDs yet. However, I had no luck with Tivo Transfer portion of Toast 8. Sounds like that is what other users are experiencing as well. I might have to bite the bullet and upgrade to Version 10.

Toast 7 Question

Does anyone use Toast Titanium 7 (by Roxio)?
Is this the right place for a question on Toast?
I am trying to make a CD that will be able to play slide-shows in DVD players that connect to Televisions.
I tried first with Toast Titanium 6 and then realized that Tiger is not compatable with Toast Titanium 6. So I plucked down the $70 upgrade to "Element 5", downloaded and installed.
I can cut a data CD.
But when I cut a "Super Video CD" with a QuickTime slide-show that I created in iPhoto, it will not play in the DVD player on my TV, nor in the G4 iMac Superdrive.

Hi, Freddie.
1. You wrote: "But when I cut a "Super Video CD" with a QuickTime slide-show that I created in iPhoto, it will not play in the DVD player on my TV, nor in the G4 iMac Superdrive."VCD and SVCD (Super VCD) are different formats. SVCDs uses MPEG-2 video compression (encoding). VDCs employ MPEG 1 encoding.
QuickTime supports conventional VCDs: see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Playing a Video Compact Disc (VCD)." With Quicktime, MPEG-2 compression is only available with the extra-cost QuickTime MPEG-2 Component.
Your home DVD player may also not support the SCVD format. Check the manual that came with the DVD player for the disk formats it supports. For example, my home DVD player supports VCDs but not SVCDs.
Try burning a VCD instead.
Note that if you use iDVD to create a DVD of the iPhoto slide show and burn it to DVD-R media, it should play on both Macs running Mac OS X and most home DVD players. See:• "iPhoto 6.0 Help: Exporting a slideshow to iDVD."
• "iDVD 6.0 Help: Using slideshows created in iPhoto."
• "iDVD 6.0 Help: Creating an iDVD slideshow."
For information on viewing VCDs and SVCDs under Mac OS X, see my "VCD and SVCD Players" FAQ.

Problem with Toast Titanium 9

I am trying to burn an HD DVD with Toast Titanium 9. It goes through the "Encoding" but refuses to burn the DVD and gives me a OS System error -50. I am using Fotomagico Pro to produce a slideshow to burn on the DVD. I found the error code which is a paramErr (Error in user parameter list). Where is the paramater list and how do I correct this error?

Please post Toast related questions on the Roxio forums.

I need help with Toast Titanium please!

Hey everyone,
I didnt know where to post this so I figured here is good since you're all handy with video apps. I just got my unibody MBP and for some reason, whenever I try to burn something in Toast Titanium or Popcorn, it it stuck in the "Preparing" mode. iDVD has been burning fine, but the others applications are not. Can anyone figure this out?
Thanks!

Which versions of those apps are you using and are they compatible with your computer's Intel processor?
You need at least Toast 7.1 or Popcorn 2.0 to run properly. Even then they might not be compatible with Mac OS X 10.5

TOAST TITANIUM & iMOVIE

I CANNOT save a disc image by saving my large video files (21+ GB) using iDVD. It will not allow me to use it (iDVD). Is there a way I can burn such large volumes as a disc image and then burn to DVD with the computer requesting new DVD being inserted as needed? Will Toast Titanium handle this? My movie is only 2 hours and 15 min. or so; doesn't anythiing compress it down to fit on a Dual Layer DVD? All of the music I layed under it and other such things ate up memory. Will Toast solve this problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks so much for everything!
Best,
Mitch

iDVD doesn't care for size, but length.
iDVD allows import of up to <120min

Toast titanium stopped working

Recently updated my old Mac Book Pro with the Mac Box Set. I am using an external DVD burner. Yesterday I tried to burn a DVD but Toast Titanium 6 will not start. Tried installing the software that the external unit came with (Toast Titanium 9) but the OS will not let it install. Is any one having the same problem?

Yeah, I have Toast Titani. 6 on my macbook pro laptop and NOW IT REFUSES TO START!

Using Roxio Toast Titanium with 550 PowerBook

Hello eveyone.
I recently installed Tiger and am now on V. 10.4.7
My PB has no cd or dvd burner so about 3 years ago, I bought a burner and installed Roxio Toast Titanium 5.1.2. All went OK - until Tiger.
After the Tiger install, I can't get my Toast to open. This means I can use my burner - an ez quest connected with firewire - to burn a cd from iTunes but I cannot burn any of my iPhoto pics.
Anyone had a similar problem? How do I fix it?? Should I just buy and install the latest from Roxio - their Media 8 I think?
Any help would be great!

Ouch! Well, at least you know you should have.
Is reparing perms a big thing?
It's a big thing in that it needs to get done, say like changing your oil. But like the oil, it's not a big thing to do.
Can I go wrong and make things worse?
I can't even imagine how. It's a normal, supposed-to-be performed thing.
Open Applications:Utilities:Disk Utility, select your HD on the left side, click on Repair Permissions at the bottom, wait a few minutes until it's finished, quit DU, and you're all set.
Also, I'd guess that you don't run Background Maintenance; I'd strongly recommend it (I like MacJanitor because it's so easy and it's freeware).
Not to worry, this all normal/routine stuff.

Does Toast Titanium 7 allow burning DVD's in code 0?

I want to burn my iMovie projects in code 0, but Toast Titanium 6 doesn't allow that. I can only choose NTSC or PAL and I can't burn a NTSC iMovie project in PAL either - which I would like to do and vice versa. Being able to burn either to code 0 would solve that problem, but before I upgrade to 7 I would like to know if it gives me that option. Thanks to anyone out there who has the answer.

Hi Lennart - thank you for correcting my wrong advice:
Don't worry about NTSC or Pal - that doesn't come into it.
Yes, of course, iDVD Preferences presents that choice. Yet I had imagined that a DVD disk is a DVD disk and would play anywhere in the world - and that it was merely a hardware issue.
Thus if I cut a Pal DVD here in NZ, it could not play in USA?
But presumably a Pal-created iMovie can be burned into an NTSC DVD disk, and be able to play there. I've just never tried that!

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.

IDVD 5 & Toast Titanium 7

When I drag my iDVD file which ends with, ".dvdproj" into Toast, it tells me that this file is "an unsupported file format and cannot be imported."
How can I burn my iDVD projects with Toast?
It's faster to use Toast than it is to use anything else right?
I just burned a 7 minute DVD using iDVD and it took almost 2 hours. Does it take that long with Toast as well?
Thanks everyone.
Jameson

into Toast, it tells me that this file is "an

A .dvdproj file is just that - a file that contains your iDVD project. It is NOT the final DVD with mpg-2 encoding. You must select File>Create disk image (or something like that)

You need to create a disk image (as above).

No

well?
When you create a DVD there are two processes involved. The first is encoding - and THIS is the really slow process. When you create a disk image file iDVD will do this encoding. The second is the actual burning to writable media. This is usually much faster than encoding.
Once you have created a disk image file, if you need multiple copies, you only need to go through through the burning process.
Apple's Disk Utility (free) and Roxio's Toast Titanium will BOTH allow you to burn a disk image to writable media. And both allow you to select a slow burn speed (like 4x or lower) - this is VERY important for best DVD compatability with players.
Roxio's Toast Titanium 6, 7 and 8 all use slightly different approaches to burning a disk image to writable media, so be sure to read the manual if you use Toast.

Error code -43 for Toast Titanium

Apparently the error code is an Apple code meaning file not found. Google Error code 43 then check links to possibly find a solution. There are many different posts.

Roxio Toast Titanium 6.1 cannot see superdrive in MacBook Pro 17"

Hi Folks,
My superdrive worked perfectly fine with Toast Titanium 6.1, burning Cd's,Dvd's,dual layer Dvd's without any issues.
But just recently Toast has informed me that it cannot find a recorder.
here is the details of my superdrive as listed by System Profiler:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J:
Firmware Revision: FAV1
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media:
Media Type: CD-ROM
Blank: No
Erasable: No
Overwritable: No
Appendable: No
I am currently trying to get Roxio suipport to resolve the issue but no luck so far.
I have uninstalled & re-installed the Toast software,repaired permissions,the works but stiil Toast cannot see the Superdrive.
The only thing I can think of is I installed a recent firmware update for the MacBook Pro & maybe that had something to do with it.
I also don't think that updating to the latest version of Toast 8 will resolve the issue either.
Remember that the Superdrive was working just fine with Toast.
I have searced the froums & apple support documents to no avail.
The Toast site is not much help either.
Anybody have any ideas or a similar problem.
Thanks
fargione

My problem has been solved!
I have carried out a complete re-install of the Os & I am right back up to OS 10.4.10.
Al the available updates have been installed & Toast 6.1.1 works just fine & sees the superdrive without any problems.
I think I have worked out what caused Toast to break.
Sometime back I was advised to run an app called Monolingual.
It is a utility that removes unecessary language resources from the os & reclaims disk space.
My advice is to live with the extra language's & avoid Monolingual.
Once again thank you all for your help.

10.4.9 and Toast Titanium

Since I´ve downloaded the 10.4.9 update I have problems to burn DVDs with Toast Titanium 6.1.1
CDs are not effected
The burn process starts properly, but a few minutes before it is finished it stops the job and Toast freezes.
Does anybody else encounter this problem?
Thanks for your help!
PPC - G 5, Dual 2.5 Ghz, 2004 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1,5 GB RAM, PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-117D

Hi Big Tom Cat and welcome!
You should probably update to Toast 7, the latest version of which is 7.1.2. I have had no problems with that.
Or of course go straight to the latest version: Toast 8 !
