What is the quality of a DVD burned with the Toast BluRay plug-in?

I would like to purchase the plug-in for Toast 9 that allows you to burn BluRay content onto a DVD. I realize that it will not produce a "real" BD, but will it produce DVDs that are more HD quality than the normal SD quality?
Rick

Hi
Don't know if plug-in works with Toast 9. I got mine by getting the full
Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro pac.
Yes this can burn Blu-Ray encoded onto a standard DVD (but much less eg about 20-30 minutes)
• This BD-DVD needs a Blu-Ray Player to be viewed - No DVD-player or Mac can play it
Sony PlayStation 3 Can do that. Some Cheap BD-players neither can not play it.
Quality.
• Very much better than SD-DVD. SlideShows can be very good if done right.
I use FotoMagico (in the Roxio Toast set of programs)
Yours Bengt W

No audio on dvd burned with idvd6

Relevant software: Mac OS 10.4.11, iMovie 6.0.3, iDvd 6.0.3
Problem: No audio on dvd burned with iDvd
What happened: Created movie in iMovie (audio and video fine). Shared to iDvd (audio and video fine on playback). Burned Dvd. No audio on dvd but video is fine.
What I did:
1. Saved as disc file. Opened with VLC and DVD Player. No audio, video fine.
2. Deleted encoded assets in iDvd then 1 (above).
3. Removed non-Apple extensions in Library/Quicktime. Then 2 and 1 (above).
I've read other discussions about this same issue and followed those recommendations as well as that in the article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303550.
Clearly I'm missing something. But, what is it? Anyone have any suggestions?

i too am having the same problems with iDVD 6.0.4. I just ended up wasting 5 hours of time burning these damned DVDs... what was really strange is that the first DVD I burned was a dual-layer, and I checked that one on a set-top DVD player and it worked fine. I then needed 5 more copies of the DVD, so I simply inserted a fresh dual-layer DVD into the drive at iDVD's prompt of 'Would you like to burn this disc again?'.
Assuming that they would all be fine since the first one was fine, I simply burned 5 more DVDs. Only now, checking them after I've wasted a godawful amount of time burning them, do I find that they're all f#$ked. Thanks apple.
Crap like this makes me steamed. My PC burning software doesn't have nearly the same simple, elegant interface as iDVD, but it also lacks this CATASRTOPHIC problem. I mean, dual layer DVDs are relatively pricey... so screw apple. i will be glad to go home to my PC after being forced to work with this junky, buggy software.

Using LaCie dvd burner with fce hd

has anyone out there used a LaCie dvd burner with toast titanium 6.1.1 to burn fce hd project? the fce hd files(as a QT file ) contains 2 folders --the movie file along with an a-v 1 file(assuming this a media file) are boththese files to be dropped into the TOAST titanium drop window for burning? burning a dvd takes hours and i'm trying to save myself a lot of aggravation--thanks folks

This is not a Final Cut Express related topic. You're more likely to find LaCie DVD burner users on forums like iDVD and DVD Studio Pro.

Can i replace the dvd burner with a second hard disk in my pavilion dv6 6915nr?

Can I remove the dvd burner and replace it with a secondary bay hard disk?

Hi,
Yes you can, you need something like this to hold the HDD (or SSD):

if any one using any of these 2 burners w/ msi nforce3 chipsets drivers with nero please let me know or any other burners which actually works with them !
thankyou!

I might be in the same boat as some of you... I got my K8N Neo Platinum exactly a year ago. Up til recently, I was content to burn DVD+R at 8x speed with my Lite-on 411S (Single layer). However, I was impressed with Plextor's PX-716A, and moreover I went for the SATA version, PX-716SA. For a year, I never had trouble with the WD SATA hard drive connected to the SATA0 port, so I thought there wouldn't be any trouble with the Plextor drive. When I read a DVD-ROM with this drive, I can only get up to 7.3x speed, while DVD+R writes are limited to 6.5x (on good media like Verbatim 16x). Quality is good, but I am disappointed that the speed is not 16x. I have the latest Nvidia drivers, and I read a few places that I should use the default Windows drivers. Could this speed limitation really be caused by a driver? Secondly, if I install the default Windows driver, what steps do I take (please be specific)?. What should I look for in the alternative location of the driver. When I removed the Nvidia IDE drivers, they came back on the next boot-up.
-K8N Neo Platinum with 1.7v firmware (Nforce 3 250Gb)
-PX-716SA with 1.07 firmware [SATA]
-Plextools v2.23
-WD 80GB Sata HD
-Windows 2000 SP4

DVD burned with Encore on MacPro will not play in all players

I burned a project with Encore last week using my MacPro's stock DVD burner. I was using Memorex DVD+R disks which I've had mostly success with in the past. I tried the final DVD in 3 players before I considered it the final product, and it worked in all 3...1 high end player and 2 no-names. I went to present the project at a screening the other night and their Sony player would not read the disk (but did read everyone else's)! Luckily I had access to another player, so it wasn't a complete embarrassment, but still unnerving considering I have to make about 60 DVDs next month for a client. Any idea what could have caused this?

The difference between + and - these days should be zero. However, if one format gives you trouble, always try the other.
I've delivered to clients where + was the only format that worked, and I've delivered to clients where - was the only format that worked.
As has been said before, the only way to absolutely ensure maximum compatiblity is to replicate your discs. Obviously that's not prudent in cases like yours. :)

Using an external DVD burner with iBook G4

Hi,
I am new to this ibook game so bear with me....I purchased an iBook G4 from ebay and hooked my Lacie external DVD burner up to it as it only has a combo drive. Anytime I try to burn DVDs though it says that it cannot use this disk. When I look in disc utility it says that the write ability of any DVD i insert is read only. Under system profiler my external burner does appear as drive type CD-RW/DVD-RW though. What can I do to burn DVDs? I am running osx 10.3.7 by the way and previously used my external burner with an old emac succesfully.

You could try and see if the external optical drive is supported through
third-party burn software, one example of which may be Burn, it is free.
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
{note: there are two links to download - one is for G3s only}
Is the cable you have in good health and do you have a known good spare?
And update the OS X to 10.3.9. Get the large file 'combo' for this;
and then check for security updates, java updates, etc. Be sure
to run Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' before & after updates.
You will have to update the Panther 10.3.x system to 10.3.9 and also
get any other updates available to the system. This may be why the
external drive won't work in the present computer. Also, Burn needs
to have 10.3.9 or later in order to work, too...
Hopefully this helps...
Good luck & happy computing!

PROBLEMS WITH PLAYBACK ON DVDS - BURNED WITH iDVD8

Can anyone tell me what is the best speed to use when burning a DVD. I have been using the maximum speed (which I believe my computer defaults to). When I play back on a DVD player it will freeze in certain parts. When I have finished burning the DVD I have noticed grease marks and other small marks on the disc. I have been told it is because I am burning them too fast. I have since tried using 2X and am having the same problem. I am using IDVD8 and DVD-R discs.

It may be the brand of disc. Try Verbatim DVD-R or Verbatim DVD+R DL.

Retrieve what video resolutions(quality) a youtube video has, with youtube api or packet analysis

a youtube video is usually with multiple video resolutions (quality) like 240p, 360p,720p,etc how can I retrieve what video resolutions(quality) a youtube video has are there any youtube api which can get this information
I think If I capture the packets when I'm watching a video, by analysing the packets, definitely I can know what resolution this video provides but I don't know which part the packet provide this information does anyone know this? thanks!

I am no iPhone expert, but I believe it has to do with what connection you are using.
I noticed this the other day, I watched a YouTube vid the other day connected to my home wifi, and it looked amazing. Then I went to show a co-worker the same vid while on the 3g network. It looked like crap, all large pixels and blury. Anyway that is what I noticed.

Replace W520 Sony Optiarc AD-7710H DVD Burner with Sony Optiarc BD-5750H Blu-ray Burner?

I am planning on replacing the DVD burner which shipped with my W520 (4270CTO) with a Blu-ray burner. Evidently not all W520s ship with the same drives.
Does anyone know whether the front bezel on the W520 is the same for the two Sony Optiarc drives mentioned above? If not, which Blu-ray burners can accept the W520 front bezel from the Sony Optiarc AD-7710H, which is the drive my machine shipped with?
Thank you!
W520, Intel QM67 Express Chipset, i7-2760QM, 1000M NVIDIA GPU 2GB DDR3, 1920x1080 FHD LED, 16GB Corsair Vengeance PC3 12800, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300, Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SATA 3 SSD, Sony Optiarc BD-5750H Blu-ray Writer, Dual-Mode DisplayPort.
Solved!

I think you swap the bezels. I did with mine.

Using an external dual layer DVD burner with iDVD??

I created a 3 hour iDVD file on a dual 2.0 G5 desktop with a dual layer DVD Superdrive. I have since migrated to a MacBook Pro. Now, when I open the iDVD file, it says there is no DL Superdrive on my system and that it will convert the file to single layer or something like that, with the option to cancel or proceed. If I purchase an external DL DVD burner will iDVD detect it and allow me to continue working with the file?? Or do I have to get a whole other Mac with a DL Superdrive (iMac or 17" MBP)?? The error specifically stated 'Superdrive', so I am not sure if just an external DL will work. Thanks for any help.

Sorry to have to post this here, but your topic "How can I see the bitrate while playing a DVD?" in the DVD SP forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=325516
has been archived and no one can reply to it.
Thank you so much. Using VLC 0.8.5 to view bitrate was an excellent discovery for those who don't have the cash to buy the DigiGami poducts.
Perhaps you should re-open a new topic for others to respond to.

What is the best raw plug-in for a nikon D300s with cs3

What is the best download raw plug-in for a Nikon D300s with cs3. I have used 4.6 but still can't open the raw images from my D300s, Used other cameras such as D300 and D200 the raw images where fine.

Use these tables as a guide.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
D200 - Camera Raw 3.3 - compatible with CS3+
D300 - Camera Raw 4.3 - compatible with CS3+
D300s - Camera Raw 5.5 - compatible with CS4+
So you cannot open Raw files from the D300s in CS3.
Your choices are either to upgrade or download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert the Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3.

Low-cost but quality external cd-dvd burner

Hi I received a month ago this external burner(37€ shipped (France)):
Liteon Graveur DVD DH-20A4H Lightscribe blanc
http://www.microdistri.com/advancedsearchresult.php?keywords=DH-20A4H&x=0&y=0
I mounted it in an empty iomega (usb) box; it works great and Liteon is known for its tolerance for medias brands; it burns perfectly and has also the lightscribe function!
I thought to share this because I had so munch problems with my superdrive that I decided to find a replacement (external) but they were all quite expensive; with this Liteon the only thing you need is the connection for usb with a connector like this one or a usb casing
http://cgi.ebay.fr/Adaptateur-convertisseur-cable-IDE-2-5-3-5-vers-USB-2-0W0QQitemZ370156978018QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFR_LC_Informatique_Connectiques?hash=ite m370156978018&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1526|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

It works in the other account so it should be a file in my normal account right? (I misinterpreted what you meant by "doing it".) If it didn't work in the other account then it would be a hardware problem, possibly the power supply, right?
I'll move the CD Info.cidb file to the Desktop as you suggest. I hope that file isn't too corrupt. Over the years I've lost what CDs I've played from problems with that file. (I have actually kept track of most every CD since my first Mac, with the exception of what I've lost from crashes. I use a program or two to read it. A good one is iCDC for example.)

What does it mean when my dvd burner does not have a disc in and randomly turns on while surf net

My HP Pavillion desktop with a HP w2207h monitor started randomly playing dvd without a dvd in it. I was just surfing the internet and it turned on spinning with no dvd or cd in it. What does this mean?

The sound you heard could be your hard drive. It makes a spinning sound like the dvd drive sometimes. Did you notice if the light on the dvd drive came on as well, if not then it was the hard drive making the noise.
I am an HP employee.
