Since you need a fast connection to transfer all the data to the other computer, however, the feature makes sense only on a wired Ethernet network. Toast can use Rendezvous to discover shared burning machines on a local network it can also burn over the Internet if you enter an IP address. ToastAnywhere lets Mac users without built-in CD or DVD burners burn to another computer running Toast 6. Toast 6 also has several new networking features for burning discs.
BURNING STUDIO 22 - Burn, back up, copy and convert any file type burning software - create covers, inlays, disk labels. This should be fixed by the time you read this. New & Used (8) from 14.00 + 3.99 shipping. Also, for drives that burn to both DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, buffer-underrun protection isn’t currently supported. 3 (Optional) Enable the Use Fit-to-DVD video compressioncheck box: Fit-to-DVD automatically compresses the video to fit on a standard 4.7 GB recordable DVD.
2 In the Output Settingsarea, type a title, choose a destination, and specify the number of copies. We were annoyed by Toast’s lack of progress bars to indicate the time remaining for encoding video or burning data DVDs - the two most time-consuming uses of such an application. 1 In Toast, choose Burntab, and in the Burn Videosarea, choose VIDEOTS Folders. (The program gives only high or standard video-quality options, with no indication of bit rates, so you can’t fine-tune your compression.) Toast gives you basic trimming functionality for files when burning, you can choose to insert chapter markers either at timed intervals or at scene breaks. Toast encoded 5 minutes of video in about 14 minutes on a dual-867MHz Power Mac G4 at high quality. In our tests, it captured and burned an SVCD of footage from a Canon Optura 20 DV camcorder flawlessly. The new Plug & Burn feature lets you capture video from a DV camcorder and burn it to VCD, SVCD, or DVD. Toast 6 can even take an MPEG-1 file - which has audio and video multiplexed into a single track - and create a DVD from it at the click of a button. Now that Toast can author a DVD, users with external DVD burners - which iDVD doesn’t support - can create DVDs, and quick DVD creation is now easier for everyone. But Toast 6 adds MPEG-2 encoding, which lets Toast create a Super Video CD (SVCD) or a DVD, with simple menus, from any video format that QuickTime understands. Burn Button (6) Located at the bottom right of the Toast window, the red Burn button will begin burning. You can choose CD, DVD or Blu-ray media types to have the indicator calibrated for your target disc. Toast 5 could encode video files to MPEG-1 format and burn them to Video CD (VCD). Located across the bottom of the Toast window, the space indicator displays exactly how much content you've added to the current project. So, I did what is suggested here and deleted the Finder prefs and relaunched (via force quit comm+option+escape).The most impressive of Toast 6’s improvements involves video. I did notice that even when a disk looked like it burned correctly, it made the Finder quit and restart. I really don't believe it's in the media choice as these drives worked fine under Leopard with Sony CD-R disks.įinally, downloaded Burn to test.and it worked in the Pioneer 112D but not the 106D (this drive must have a hardware issue).
Tried this sequence: a) delete file b) SMC my machine (shut down machine, unplug power, hold start button for 10 seconds- you may want to unplug everything, I just did the power cord) c) PRAM reset restart holding the comm+option+P+R for 3 chimes d) download and install combo update 10.6.5 from the Apple websiteĪll to no avail. To no avail - Google it and read up, it's lengthy but start here:Ģ. Tried to DVRFlash the 112D drive with the new firmware/kernel. There was nothing on the Toast support site.ġ.
I found that you could DVRFlash the DVR drives with the latest firmware 1.28 and kernel, but also found out that Mac OS doesn't care what firmware is installed, they should work.Īpple has some notes on their site, but nothing to fix this Toast/Snow Leopard break. However, when I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.5, both my drives would not work with Roxio's Toast 10.0.8 or with Apples built in burn!
My DVRs (Pioneer 112D and 106D) had worked fine under Leopard 10.5.8 in a Mac Pro 1,1.
Snow Leopard & Toast 10 = fails! Leopard+Toast 10 = works.
