Which burning speed selection to use in Toast 7 Titanium?

Hi everyone,
From what I have ready here and there on some postings, it is supposed to be better to burn at lower speeds to get better quality burns.
Toast 7 Titanium offer a choice of burning speeds which is convenient.
The question is: if I want to burn a 16x DVD at 8x speed, do I chose the 8x selection or the 8x DVD selection?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not in to paralysis by analysis. I doubt that with any of the current disks, one could tell the difference between the different recording speeds. There are those that will tell you the stars need to be aligned correctly...... The price of the blanks, allows one to record at different speeds and then compare them to see if they can hear the difference. Use your wife/girlfriend/sister/daughter as the judge, as men (very few anyway) don't have the hearing women do. As for playing in old players, DVD and CD, the -R versions of the discs are the most successful. If you are buying the $2.00 each discs, I would also compare those to the $0.25 each discs recorded at the same speed. The encoding scheme used for the recording is far more important than the discs you use. Some of the lossless encodings are better in their reproductions than others. But, save for iTunes, you won't catch me using anything but the full bandwidth.
My view is that one needs to conduct objective tests themselves, instead of following the advice carte blanche from these boards. You'll thank yourself for proving many of them wrong, or right. It saves the wallet doing so.

  • Burn Speed Selection

    Hey, I was just doing a basic CD burn onto a blank cd. Of a MPEG 4 file onto a CD.
    So I installed a blank CD and then opened the Finder window then clk and dragged the mp4 file onto the image of the CD. Then I clk the 'Burn' logo.
    Dialog box says, select speed, so I try and their is only 'one' option. 8X.
    Why?
    I tried to click on the drop down menu , but to no avail, I could only get 8X.
    what is up with that?
    The file size is 590 mb. the CD is 650 mb.
    So what is going on here? Anyone?
    Thanks,

    Some Discs only do a certain speed, what brand is it & what is it rated for?

  • Burn speed

    Hi there,
    I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D superdrive on my iMac flat panel. Can someone tell me the recommended DVD I should use and what burning speed I should use?
    I have iDVD 3 and I'm trying to burn an iMovie project with iDVD and it's not going very well!

    On the Pioneer 106 personally I have found better luck with media with media rated at 1- 8x and 4x Max. This is getting more difficult to find though. I'm currently working through a spindle of Sony DVD-R 1-8x. If I have a problem with any media I've usually had success by switching down to 1x burning (in Toast etc) and this has had a 100% success rate. Trying to burn some faster media at 4x (the 106's max) has not always worked well.

  • Importing AVCHD  video archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast ?

    Can Final Cut Express import AVCHD video that has been archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast 10 Titanium? The video is originally shot on an AVCHD camcorder (Canon HF-10), then burned into DVDs preserving the AVCHD files using Roxio Toast Titanium. I'm just wondering if you can simply insert the DVDs and import the AVCHD files into FCE. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

    The only thing that matters is that the entire folder structure is preserved from the chip. If the software is picking out the video files then it will not work. The whole folder structure which is a data wrapper for the media is needed by FCE. It doesn't matter if you use Toast or Disk Utility to make the data disc.

  • Internal burner speed

    hi to all,
    I've been using DVD studio pro for a while with no particular problems. Yet sometimes i am a bit disappointed in the end quality of the projects.
    i like to stick to CBR 6.5 max bitrate, using mpeg2 encoder via FCP ( i use DVDstudio Pro3). I sometimes get very discreet horizontal lines that rapidly cut through the final image... kind of like a 'line break' or line drop out.
    I tried many combinations and it rarely but still happens.
    So i thought maybe the problem has to do with my burning speed.
    I use the built-in pioneer drive in my Silverdoor dual 1ghz G4. And just now realised i never checked the DVD burning speed. Can anyone tell me how, through dvdstudio pro i can get to the burning speed settings. And if you guys think that could be causing the lines mentioned above...
    (long post for simple question, sorry.)
    Thank you for your time.
    tee

    You can't get burning speed settings inside DVD SP, because there are none.
    That computer is likely a Power Mac G4 Dual 1GHZ 512MB/80G/SuperDrive in a stock configuration.
    As such the Superdrive specs are: Burn/Read DVD at 2X/6X, write CD-R(W) at 8X/4X, reads CD at 24X.
    It doesn't sound like your burn speeds.
    What blank media do you and what a.pack settings for audio.

  • DVDSP now using Toast - burn speed?

    I just purchased Toast 7, so I could vary my burn speeds. I have had good success with DVDSP, but at times there are compatibility issues.
    I moved my Video-TS folder into Toast 7, put in a Verbatim up to 8X DVD and when I tried to select the record speed options, my only options were
    Best
    4X
    8X
    etc...
    I thought that I could burn slower than 4X, but it did not give me that option. I did notice before I put the DVD in, 1X was an option. Could it be my DVD?
    Any thoughts? I would like to burn at a slower speed.
    Oh and my drive is a Sony DVD RW-DW U21A
    Thanks!

    It depends how you use Toast. Version 6.0.7 added the Video>Advanced>DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS option. This removes those files, the PAR folder etc for you and adds a AUDIO_TS folder too.
    You'd be best off making sure the disc is region all, R7 is disabled by default, and then outputing an .img to use in Toast,

  • Has anyone used ROXIO TOAST II for burning DVD

    Has anyone used ROXIO TOAST II for setting up intro and burning to DVD. I used to do this in IDVD which has been abandoned in the Maverick

    Just to say that that I've tested iDVD on 10.9 and it works for me. It's a discontinued program of course, and hasn't been supported for several years, but I don't think it runs any differently on 10.9 than it did on say, 10.6.
    However…can't help you with Toast because I don't use it.

  • Burning a AVI Movie using Toast Won't Work?!

    The file is 700 MB. When I drag it into toast and click burn it tells me the movie is 4.5 GB but the DVD will only hold 4.4 GB. Why did a 700GB AVI file turn into an 4.5 GB file??

    This is really a question about Toast which would be better asked on the Toast support web site. I believe Toast has a feature for recoding AVIs to video DVD format. Whatever it is you are doing seems to have activated that. Perhaps there is something like choosing DVD format, versus data DVD. I don't really know for sure since I only have Toast 5 and never use it.

  • Which case in LV Oper. Intf. will do "Run Selected Steps using single pass" for me?

    I added a button to simulate "Run Selected Steps", but I really want a button that will "Run Selected Steps Using Single Pass". Which case in the Complex Labview Operator Interface does this for me? What I really want is the report to be generated which happens when I use "Run Selected Steps Using Single Pass" but no report when I select "Run Selected Steps".
    Thanks!

    I figured out how to make this work.  Instead of calling the Sequence File View Manager ConnectCommand method using the Run Selected Steps button and the CommandKind_RunSelectedSteps command kind, you use the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind.  The tricky part is that before you can use the ConnectCommand method with the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind, you have to create a set of new commands.  Do this by first invoking the Application Manager method NewCommands.  This method returns an empty set of commands.  You must then add a new command to that set.  Do this by invoking the InsertKind method on the empty set of commands using CommandKind_RunEntryPointOnSelectedSteps for cmdKind, Sequence File View Manager for managerControl, -1 for insertBefore, and empty strings for currentMenuName and allMenuNames parameters.  Once you have made these calls, then you can call the Sequence File View Manager ConnectCommand method using the CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind.
    The previous instructions work just the same for the Loop On Selected Steps button.  Just substitute the CommandKind_RunEntryPointOnSelectedSteps and CommandKind_RunSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kind constants with CommandKind_LoopEntryPointOnSelectedSteps and CommandKind_LoopOnSelectedStepsUsingEntryPoints_Set command kinds (and of course use the Loop On Selected Steps button reference instead of the Run on Selected Steps button reference when invoking the ConnectCommand method).
    There is one mystery with this solution that I haven't figured out yet, besides the fact that it is so laborious and non-intuitive to me (but at least it works).  Nowhere in any of the calls detailed above did I ever see a parameter to specify which execution entry point to use.  I am using the default sequential model entry points Test UUTs and Single Pass.  Typically you specify which entry point you want to use (such as when invoking the ConnectCommand method) in the form of an index to a set of entry points where the Test UUTs entry point corresponds to a set index of 0 and Single Pass corresponds to a set index of 1.  How did the previous calls determine which entry point to use when I didn't specify anywhere which one to use?  Do this just work because you can only run or loop on selected steps using no process model or the Single Pass entry point?

    Having the same problem, since 7.7 and now 8. Have my library on an external hard drive and used to not have any problems. Took average of 5-6 minutes a CD, now 18 to 19 minutes. Could it be because of a problem with USB and my external? Seems like USB is causing a lot of problems in 8.

  • Toast 9 Titanium - not sure which forum to use

    Sorry that I did not see a specific forum for Toast 9 Titanium.
    I am spanking new to making a custom DVD. What I would like to do is take parts of different DVDs that I have and put them on a blank DVD.
    My question is 1) is there a video tutorial and 2) how do I "read" or see the contents of the DVD, to know which "files" I want to transfer to the custom DVD project?
    Thanks very much for any help.

  • Burning Speed

    I have forgotten, or cannot find, how to set the burn speed for creating DVDs. From time to time I get bad spots on 4x discs, not one particular brand, when playing on a DVD player.
    I burn with Disk Utility and would like to select a slower speed which allegedly give more reliable results.

    David:
    This may vary because of our different systems but when I use Disk Utility to burn it has a drop down menu where I can select the burn speed. The version of DU I'm using is 10.5.1 (198.1). Since my drive is a DVR-104 and the burn speed is limited to 1X but the menu is there.
    I also use Toast to burn DVD disc images and it will allow you to set the burn speed.

  • Question about burning speeds

    This has happened from new.
    As you see from my Mac Pro specs, it's not daft , but when I tell it to burn a DVD or CD at x4
    which is my preferred speed (nice and safe) it ignores me and does it at x8-10 varying
    Importing CDs into itunes it gets up to x22ish
    Does anyone know how to slow it down ?

    Well, first of all, importing songs into iTunes is not the same as burning. Burning is a write operation. Importing is a read operation. (From the standpoint of the optical drive).
    You can't really control the read-speed of the drive when importing into iTunes although iTunes does automatically control it if there are errors detected.
    As for burning, what program are you using? I'm assuming you are using Toast if you know the actual speed at which the disc is being burned at as Finder/Disk Utility do not report this statistic. When you select 4x in toast, is the number bold? If it isn't then it isn't a recommended burning speed for your drive/media and will automatically step up to the next safest level.
    Hope this helps!
