Question Details
TICKET ARCHIVE -> Toast creating bad disks
ibeedug - Feb 5, 2007 - 10:53 am
Backing up DVDs for personal use.
I start by using MTR (either 2.6 or 3.0) to create Video_ts files.
Then, using Toast 7 or 8, I use FIT TO DVD COMPRESSION.
Toast burns the DVD without errors, but when I try to play the disk on my Mac, (OS 10.4) the dvd chokes on various chapters, (i.e. never the same spot) and crashes. When playing the DVD on a regular DVD player, the movie becomes unviewable at the same trouble spot.
Now, taking the same Video_TS files, I make a DVD with toast on another Mac and I get a Perfect DVD.
I switched media, also.

Hello,
The problem might lay just with Toast. Perhaps one of the installed files got deleted or corrupted, or changed from the last software update. Try completely deleting and then reinstalling Toast.

Will Do! I have just trashed all copies Toast and their Pref files. I am going to reinstall my latest version. I will get back to you with the outcome.

Problem Still Exists -
I reinstalled Toast 8 after trashing it with its PREFs and restarting the computer.
I was able to copy 2 DVDs somewhat successfully, but the 3rd disk was messed up.
UPDATE:
Using Toast, I can make a disk image from the MTR files and play them with the DVD Player app. The problem seems to occur only when Toast burns to the DVD disks.
