![]() ![]() The resulting disk played, but didn't look very good at all. I re-encoded the disk with the "auto-play" button checked, so it would bypass the menu and automatically play the first item on the disk. So I scratched my head, and went back to my office. When I put the resulting DVD in my brand new Sony S-350 blu-ray player, it would not play. My 10 minute segment took over an hour to encode. Even though you have the option to select "don't re-encode" on Toast, it re-encodes anyway. Toast 10 easily recognizes the two resulting files, and pairs them up as one stream. My first attempt was to output mpeg2 and AC3 files for my 10 minute test piece using slightly modified versions of the Compressor HDDVD preset, with the thing turned up to full quality (maximum bitrate). ![]() I'm editing on an old G5 dual 2 Gig processor desktop machine. ![]() My source material is all HDV 1080i/60 edited in HDV codec on FCP. For burning "regular" CDs and DVDs, use your old version of Toast. When was the last time burning a HALF FULL CD took you 14 minutes? 1999? I have opened a tech support call to ask. I used my newly down-loaded version of Toast 10 to write a back-up on CD-R and it took 14 minutes. My superdrive which goes 40x on CD and 4x on DVD only burns at 3-4x on CD and 1x on DVD with Toast 10. Installed it, and it runs fine.Ī word of note: it burns normal DVD/CD pig dog slow. So, I downloaded Toast 10 with the HD plugin, which cost me $99. My plan was to create "blu-ray spec" disks and burn them on standard DVD-R with the burner I already own. After some research, I decided that Toast 10 should do what I need (I'm on a Mac) until Steve Jobs can get over his "big bag of hurt" and get with the program for blu-ray support for DVDSP. I do not yet own a blu-ray burner, however, I wanted to put some short-form HD content on disk for delivery to a film festival, as blu-ray is the easiest way to distribute HD. ![]()
