Using Toast

Running Leopard but also have updated TOAST from Eyetv and cannot burn any discs?? I get Mac OS Error -13780 and unable to burn any DVD?? Any help??

I'm replying to this since I don't get on here often enough to remember how to post a new question. I had successfully been burning shows that I downloaded to dvds through Toast. I did have 7.0 now I have 8.0 Suddenly I am getting this error message when I try to download now, "No Recorder Found. Please check cables and power." All cables are in. Power is on, battery is not low. I have restarted...and still the same error msg. Any suggestions?

How do I copy a DVD-video to my iPhone using Toast 10?

I apologize if the answer to this question is already out there. I tried searching for answers without luck. I want to take a DVD-video I own and get it onto my iPhone using Toast 10. I am sure this is suppose to be simple but obviously, I can't figure it out. Yes, I read through and searched the .pdf user manual for Toast 10 as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Patty

As long as it is your DVD that you hold any copyright and there is no encryption on it then Toast 10 will convert it.
If it is a commercial DVD that you purchased and it is encrypted then neither software mentioned here will work and the Terms of Use of this site prevent any further discussion of the topic as it is illegal to use software to break DVD encryption.

Transfering music from Itunes/Mac to DVD to Itunes PC using Toast

I'd like to share some of my music with a friend (long distance) who has Itunes for PC(windows). Can I burn songs onto a DVD using Toast Titanium? When he imports the music from the DVD will the song info show up on his Itunes? Will this work for purchased music too?

You can make Audio cds, and data backups of the music you purchsed from the iTMS for your personal use only. This is according to the Terms of Service you agreed to when you signed up for your account on the iTMS. The terms of service do not allow you to "share" any music purchsed by you with anyone else.
Besides, if you want your friend to be able to play the music you want to "share" with him you will have to give him your iTMS username and password.

ITunes not picking up on tags from AAC files ripped using Toast 9

I am trying to rip CD's into AAC files using Toast 9. When I import them into iTunes, they have next to no tags - only artist, album, and song title. I don't know if the problem is with iTunes or Toast 9 at this point. Is there a way I can see all the tags on a file outside of iTunes? Has anyone else had this problem? Of the discussion topic, but does anyone know how to make Toast 9 write the tags?

Good question. I feel that Toast provides a better rip, at least that's what my ears tell me. It's looking more and more like I'll have to use iTunes, despite haiving bought Toast 9 just for ripping. As a guy just switching from PC I'm getting kinda frustrated with a lack of options. I have to say, Easy Media Creator works a lot better and more intuitively than Toast.

What reigon is a dvd created from new using Toast?

Hi all
I've just made a dvd from some .mov files with no DRM issues using toast titanium. All fine, but I want to send it to someone in New Zealand. I'm told that the dvd will be reigon 0. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance

I have been faced with this problem before and have tried the different tools that are available including using UNIX scripts ect. I usually end up frustrated and spend half my life trying to understand how things work and how to use stuff. In the end it just became such a hassle that I gave up!!
What really crunched it was when I bought a DVD RW player and started recording stuff from the TV and found myself more and more needing to do exactly what you are saying. Take extracts from the TS_Video folder and import them into imovie.
In the end I saw an article in Mac World magazine for Cinamatize2 from http://www.miraizon.com. I have only had it a week or so, and am still getting used to it. What I will say is that it's a lot easier to use than all the other "scripts" etc that I've tried. It has a user friendly GUI and good instructions!! at the moment you can get it for just over $50 with the Mac World 10% discount. I think that it's money well spent if you intend to do this regularly!!

Using Toast 7 with my iTunes music

Hi,
I'm trying to use Toast 7 with my iTunes music to make MP3 CDs for the car. I like to do this as Toast lets me create folders for artists that iTunes does not. I'm not sure if the problem is the MBP (intel) or iTunes 7 or what, but Toast 7 is not seeing my library. It is seeing some old default library file that I'm not using and can't seem to find to toss. The Roxio folks are so incredibly helpful their response was, " This is an Apple problem". Not sure how they figure that one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Toast and this did nothing. I've tossed Toast's preferences. The software does see my iphoto library. Any suggestions would be welcome.

*I'm using Toast 7 to burn MP3 CDs as I can create folders that I can't do with iTunes.*
Using iTunes, if you sort by Album, iTunes will put songs into Album folders.
If you sort by Artist, iTunes will put them into Artist/Album folders.

When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
be in mp3 format.
If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
in the playlist.
M
I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

Adding audio to a Video CD slideshow using Toast

I have been able to create a Video CD slideshow using Toast Titanium 7.0. Has anyone successfully been able to add audio to a VCD slideshow? If so exactly how did you do it. The Toast help files were no help. They instructed me to use the application Motion Pictures which comes bundled with Toast. I was able to create a slideshow with audio with this application but could not figure out how to import it into Toast.

1. I suggest you post all questions concerning the use of Toast to Roxio's own Discussion Groups. That's where you will find the ardent Toast gurus. This isn't the "Using Roxio Toast" Discussion.
2. See also the "Other links" section of my my "VCD and SVCD Players" FAQ. That section contains links to some other sources of VCD/SVCD hints, tips, etc.
Good luck!

Burning error when using toast

i am using leopard 10.5.5 and using toast 9.0.2 with the hd plugin.
i am getting an error when trying to burn a dvd, i have created a file in an animation program, taken it into final cut pro, edited what i wanted, then exported it as 1080i50. the file plays no problem in quicktime on my laptop, but i need to put it on DVD. opening up toast, it goes into the prog window, encodes the file but then i get an error, -50, can not burn DVD.
does anyone know of this problem, or maybe has any ideas on what i can do to work out the problem?
cheers

His first sentence states the OP is using 10.5.5 and apparently has not updated the profile.
sure confused me
I occasionally get errors when using Toast to burn DVD’s. I found quitting other applications during the burn eliminated the errors. Not the optimal solution, but it couldn’t hurt to try.
I think he is referring to HD DVDs per his first sentence, but it's not clear to me.
It could be anything from a bad blank to a flaky optical writer to, as you mention, other software running. I usually turn all my apps off when burning DVDs. Mail, Safari, Firefix, etc., although on fast machine like this one it probably does not matter.
On the other hand, when I burn a R/W DVD or CD, I ignore these things and just computer as usual.

Trying to burn a file over 700MB using Toast titanium 7

In windows if i burn a file over the standard size cd disc it will tell me i need to use 2 cd's
i want to do that on my G5 IMAC and my G4 Powerbook using toast titanium 7 but it just says File exceeds the size of disc - thats all
what can i do?

If you are burning a CD with Toast 7 and it is a Data Disk, in the menu that
pops out to to the left select Mac Only. Once you check that box it should
automatically burn to as many CDs as necessary. I've included a picture for
reference.

Using Toast to burn DVD

Should I invest in purchasing Toast 9 to burn my standard DVDs? So many people keep talking about using Toast to burn the disc instead of using iDVD...is there a reason for this?

iDVD and Toast take very different approaches to serve users' desires in making video DVDs. iDVD has wonderful motion menus with sound while Toast has basic still, silent menus. iDVD is very limited in the video formats it can use for the source while Toast accepts a broad variety of video formats. iDVD only authors with uncompressed PCM audio while Toast can author with compressed Dolby Digital AC-3 audio which can leave more space for a higher video bit rate. Toast also has custom encoding settings whereas iDVD doesn't let you modify its settings.
What this means is Toast can't compare to iDVD and iDVD can't compare to Toast depending on what the user wants to have in a video DVD. Of course Toast does a lot more than create video DVDs.
If iDVD is meeting your needs then I'd say you don't need Toast for that purpose, but may want it anyway for other reasons. If you are finding iDVD too limited or too much work then I recommend Toast (or Popcorn 3) to give you more options.
As a disclaimer, I very rarely use iDVD because I usually don't have need for its menus, I prefer AC-3 audio on my DVDs and the source for many of my projects are existing MPEG 2 videos that would need to be re-encoded for use in iDVD. So I'm biased toward Toast. It doesn't mean I think Toast is "better"; just better for my needs.

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.

Using Toast to burn iDVD projects

I am a new user to mac and I need basic answers. I have iDVD 5.01 and know how to create a disc image. I don't have a superdrive, but I have an external burner which came with Toast Lite software. Although some people have said that they can burn directly to their external drive from iDVD I have had no such luck. I have created the disc image, but now I don't know what to do from there. Do I need to upgrade to Toast Titanium in order to burn my image onto a dvd. I tried to burn a disc image onto a DVD-R drive but the disc would not play on neither my computer nor my DVD player. I can open the Video_TS folder on the DVD player on the computer and it plays fine, but I need to know the steps to take to burn a proper DVD. I have only had my computer for a short time and it is my first experience with a mac so I need all the help I can get.

Hi Emily,
We kind of misuse the "disk image" a lot here. We should have said "disk image file". When you "Save As Disk Image" in iDVD, you are actually creating a "file" for the disk image. When you burn using Toast or Disk Utility, you want to select the "file", I believe the icon on the desktop you are referring to is the "mounted virtual disk" of the disk image file. Am I confusing you even more ?? As I said in my earlier post. if you use Toast, use Copy, NOT Data tab. then select disk image and select the the "disk image file", NOT the icon. Similarly, in the Apple article, use "disk image file", NOT the icon on the desktop.

Burning Final Cut Express Project using Toast

How do I burn a Final Cut Express project using Toast? When I export a quicktime movie, even when it is "Self-Contained" and burn it in toast I only get sound with no picture. When I export it as a .mov I am assuming that will work, but it is taking 3 hours to export a 45 min video. Is there any other way or is iDVD my only option?

The OS version I am using 10.4.10 which should show on my profile. My computer is a PowerPC G5 Dual 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM. The version of FCE is HD 3.5 and the version of Quicktime I beleive is 7.2. When I export I use Quicktime movie. I tried it with the self contained box checked and without and both did the same thing. I only got sound. When I export using Quicktime Conversion that's what takes over 3 hours. What is the difference by the way? It plays fine in Quicktime player and works fine with iDVD. I have burned quicktime files and WMF before with toast and it has worked fine. It's only when I export them from Final Cut Express that it doesn't work. I have also exported from iMovie as a full quality dv and it has worked.

Upgrading...using Toast 7

I want to use Toast 7 to upgrade my computer so that I can make and copy DVDs. Has anyone out there ever used this software [Mac OSX 10.39]? What do you advise?

Hi Makeda,
It's not the greatest solution, but using Toast 7 does work. You just drop your video file into the Toast window after selecting the Video tab and burn. Well, not quite that simple. You select a few other options on the drawer at the left, such as menu style, then go.
Mind you, this is slow as it has to render the video to standard MPEG-2 for DVD first. But once it's done rendering, you can enter any number of disks you want to burn in that session and it will do them one right after the other. If you quit the app and want to burn more disks later, you'll have to start the whole process over.
For drastically better quality with your final output with Toast, consider purchasing Jam, also. Then you also get the options of setting the bit rate and using Dolby Digital for sound. PCM is better since it's uncompressed audio, but using Dolby Digital saves a ton of space when you need to get a lot of video on one disk.
