A Maxell DVD+ R newly opened disc is in the drive when the attempt to burn is made and stays there as the second message appears.

Apparently the last message I wrote didn't get sent. I merely pointed out that a new blank Maxell DVD+R is in the drive throughout the time that the first and second messages are posted

As long as your application - Toast - supports writing DVD discs, then all you need to do is try & write a data disc, as you would a data CD.
That is all you need to do.

Thank You! But what is a data disc and how do you write it?

Are you trying to wind me up here?
Just follow the instructions, and write the Quicktime file to DVD.
If you do not know how to do this, then call Roxio.

I am not trying to be impertinent. I really do not know what differentiates a data disc from loading an ordinary CD. The QuickTime movie was made in Final Cut and as Toast asks for the" writer" I assumed that the VIDEO_TS is what is necessary to make it work, for the Toast manual says so specifically. In any case I thank you for taking so much of your time on a matter of no importance to you

What wilkes is try to say is you can make a "data DVD" same as you can make a "data CD" like folders and text and documents in folders and subfolders which is like what a regular DVD does any way but just with software.

The talk is in one continuous presentation. There are no folders and subfolders, although there are 47 slides and 47 sound files : one for each slide. I think that someone must know how to put the QuickTime data into the VIDEO_TS format that Toast requires according to the manual, page 74.

Please - forget a video_TS folder.
That is only relevant in DVD-Video authoring, which you are not trying to do.
Waiting for writer is just that - your burner is not communicating with your Mac.
Does the burner definitely work with your system?
Have you successfully written any disc with it?
All you need to do is make a standard data disc, and put the Quicktime movie onto it.
You can also write the powerpoint file as well.
That is all there is to it.

I have burned several CD's successfully with the Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104 installed on the Mac G-4 . It seems clear to me that in order to make a DVD using the Toast Titanium 5.2.3 the material must be presented to it using a DVD authoring application that sets up a VIDEO_TS folder with three subfiles: IFO, BUP and VOP. Both of the Final Cut documents are far too large to be installed on a CD, although it should be possible to put the 3.5 GB QuickTime presentation on 6 CD's. The Power Point presentation is an alternative that I may be forced to use. I am worried about the definition of the slides in the extreme enlargements of a 12-foot screen. Have you had experience with PowerPoint presentations by digital projector?
In any case, Thank you again and most sincerely for your continued interest in my problem
Thank you again for your continued interest

Only for making a DVD-Video disc.
Can this application not make a data DVD - a standard DVD-ROM?
That is all you need to do.
Authoring to a DVD-Video disc, with Video_TS folders, is a completely different thing.
Let me try to explain - again.
DVD-Video does not and can not write Quicktime, or powerpoint. It needs MPEG-2 video files to be multiplexed together with Audio files in Dolby Digital or PCM format in NTSC countries, with the possible addition of MPEG audio for PAL countries.
If you cannot write a data DVD, you cannot write a DVD-Video.
Also, the Pioneer A04 will not write to DVD+R media under any circumstances whatsoever - you must use DVD-R media.
This could well be why you are getting a "waiting for burner" message. The media you are trying to use cannot work with this drive.
Remember also that +R media is not DVD-Forum approved, and most older drives will not read them either.
My 105 will not, neither will our 104.
The 107 will, so will the 108.
Try again using the correct media for your drive.

At last my poor 89-year-old brain understands what you are saying. I bought the wrong kind of discs for the burner I have. I shall buy DVD-R discs and try my luck, Thanks again for your patience. The 3.6 GB QuickTime movie should load with the proper type of disc, and the 10.5 GB should perhaps be accepted on three discs. But I may be better off with PowerPoint on a CD?

My apologies to you for my lack of patience!
I missed the DVD+R thing earlier. Should have spotted that right off.
There will be nothing at all wrong with a powerpoint presentation on a CD. That is how a lot of people work, and it does the job just fine.
Putting everything to movies, Quicktime or otherwise, seems to me to be an enormous complication for absolutely no obvious benefit - but it's not my presentation so what do I know!
I strongly suspect with a -R disc, all will be well.
Good Luck.
