Toast

but only the first 10 secs of the video and I was wondering if there is a way to fix that. Because I'm trying to burn them to a DVD using Toast but it still on shows the 30 min video as 10 sec. And the part where I get confused is that my VLC player plays the files fine. ...

episode to be ripped. You can do them one by one. Yes, of course you can use Toast 8 or 9 to put them together again on a DVD, but you'll certainly lose quality. Why not use MTR instead to rip the DVD and use Toast to make the DVD. ...

Newbie Question. Have ripped dvd films without any problems, with both HB and MTR. When trying to rip multi episode DVD's only one episode is copied. Is there something I need to change / select in the setting to ensure that the rip copies all the episodes from the DVD, or if they have to be ripped as individual episodes can I 'rebuild' the episodes onto a singel DVD...

Yep, sounds to me like the drive is toast. I would suggest just replacing the drive and restoring the photos from your backups.

Not true.

That's rotten luck for you, and you're right about the contradiction. This would be one of the first negative posts about Pioneer I've seen in a long while.

Does your G4 meet the IDE port requirement or are you using the...

drive is only Natively supported under 10.5, contradicting their website. So I guess I wont be using this with IDVD anytime soon. Told me to upgrade my copy of toast as well, although I am not sold that is the reason. ...

try and explain. After reboot, drive burns fine up to about 4 gigs, anything more than that and I get a coaster along with needing to restart my mac. Been using toast 6 mainly, when I insert disk, it appears as a DVD with the disk icon. ...

That is pretty much the advice I gave them. If they don't do something about the power issues, they will just toast their repaired (or replaced) computers...

iMac 24", Intel, 2.8GHz, 500GB HD, Superdrive, 2GB RAM, this machine was set up yesterday, the 17th. Burning images on a CD is a simple task. I have been doing it for years. I just got this iMac and am retiring (selling?) my iMac 17" ppc G5. Fresh out of the carton, I have work to submit on a CD for one of my classes tomorrow. I fire up Toast Lite, drag and drop the files...
