I made a 3.8 GB QuickTime movie on Final Cut Express and want to burn it on a DVD. When I put it into Toast Titanium 5.2.3 it says "Waiting for Writer" I assume this means the VIDEO_TS folder mentioned on p.74. How do I get my movie into that folder? Is it a purchasable downloadable program?

Video_TS I see tt has no meaning in itself. Somebody please tell me how to make my 3.5GB QuickTime movie get burned to a DVD using Toast 5.23. How do I get the VIDEO_TS folder that appears to be necessary? and how do you get the TS folder wrapped around the QuicKTimeor whatever it is you do.

if its Quicktime u cant put on DVD in Video_ts folder
on a standard DVD for watching in a standalone u need a VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folder
in the AUDIO_TS folder goes nothing
in the VIDEO_TS folder goes vobs, ifo's and bups
im afraid youve wasted your time - you cant get quicktime movie onto disc with that method, plus theres no standalone that would play it

Thank you for your prompt reply. But there must be a way to get a QuickTime document or its transformed version onto a DVD. I have to give a talk in November to several hundred people about Crude Oil and its imminent shortage. I have the talk in PowerPoint on a CD, but the firm that will project the sound and slides prefers a DVD. I have the talk in a Final Cut movie version at 10 GB. That would require three DVD's, but that is OK if it can be put on a DVD more easily than the QuickTime version.
In any case where do you get the VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folder and what does vobs, ifo's and bups mean?

The firm will supply a high-powered digital projector, a large screen, two-speaker audio. and a man to run it. I interrupt the slide projection and its audio track four times. The lady whom I contacted prefers DVD to CD, so as I cannot get PowerPoint on a DVD I went to Final Cut Express and made a movie in both QuickTime and Final Cut . I want only to be able to put one or the other, or even Power Point on a DVD to accede to her erquest. This is going to cost me nearly a grand, so I want it well done.

If the program can be read by a conventional DVD player, it may be the way for me to go. In any case, thank you for your continued interest in my problem.

"Spread it over DVD's" That is fine to say, but how do I get the Final Cut movie in shape to be recognized by the DVD burner, currently Toast Titanium 5.2.3. I can get 6 or any other brand if it would help. It is the mechanics of wrapping the movie in the proper identities so the burner will accept it. The acronyms you mentioned, I have been trying to decipher, with some success, but how do you apply them?

Mac makes the software to do what you are trying, I think. Take a look at a peice of software called iDVD. It came on a friend's new iBook. I'm sure Apple isn't so silly that they wouldn't take their standard video format and make it writable to a DVD with their DVD authoring software.

Dear j3110:
iDVD is loaded with features that make it impractical do do what I want: fixed time for the projection of each slide, and forced "themes". If I could find the behind the scenes mechanism for making the project palatable to the CD burner and export itto my Final Cut movie that would be great, but I am just a beginner in this field. A D Sc. in geology doesn't help here.

DVD restrictions themselves are pretty steap. It sounds like what you want is a bunch of static images with next and back buttons at the bottom using DVD's scene selection methods. Seems like there should be software out there to turn a slide show into a DVD menu system, but I've never heard of it, and I've looked before. You may have to do it by hand with some of the low level tools, or you may want to get out of it the cheap way and use one of the Picture DVD/CD formats that would probably do away with your transitions.
I used some software on a PC that let me do things by hand once, but that wasn't much fun. The theme's are still mandatory, but you could reset each peice of the theme manually to have a black background, white text, etc.
Sorry I don't have a better answer, and good luck with your hunt.

Writing this as a DVD-V is going to be hit and miss - it may or may not play back in whatever machine you get stuck with.
What I would do is write the Quicktime movie as it is to a DATA DVD, not a DVD-V, and then you can simply copy it over to the presentation system, and run it through Quicktime.
This is by far the easiest method to do this, rather than bugger around with a DVD movie.
BTW - for standalone you don't need an Audio_TS folder either - it is for DVD-Audio only, and completely meaningless in DVD-ROM or DVD-Video discs.

I hope I read this right you are wanting to stop the movie or slide show presentation four time and speak each time then you need the software "Sonic" which makes your presentation with 4 menu's and which will start when you insert the DVD into the standalone dvd player that the firm will be using. This software that I mentioned above comes with Liteonit DVD writer. I am sure that you can find it online it works really well for all my home movie dvd's and you can have as many dvd menus that you want. It doesn't do any conversion of mpeg,AVI,or VOB thou. It will work will all of the those files and also does the slidshow presentation like Powerpoint only on DVD thou. Hopes this helps

Again, why not simply write the powerpoint presentation to a data DVD?
It will be exactly the same as it would on a CD then, and there will be no hassle creating a DVD-V that may or may not play back correctly on the presentation system.
From what you describe to me, it seems as if this will be the best way forward. You can then simply copy the presentation onto HDD, there will be no playback problems, no playback software problems, and most importantly of all, no authoring to be done.
Trust me - this is the easiest way.
You simply do not know what software DVD player will be available - if any - and the powerpoint presentation will work straight from the HDD.
Don't make this job any harder than it needs to be.

Thanks to all for your suggestions and advice. The talk as set up in both QuickTime and Final Cut movie includes "Lights On' spaces ( a blank blue slide) now occupied by that segment of the recorded sound of the talk and thus spaced more or less accurately to coincide with the length of time I shall speak the same text into a microphone. The man running the projector need only cut the power to the projector (and turn the auditorium lights on) until the next colored slide appears on the cueing screen in the projector. He will have a cue sheet with times in any event.
Mr. Wilkes you make it seem easy to turn the Power Point pps. or movie (I made both) to a "data DVD" Please tell me what software and procedure is required to do this. My problem so far has been that the Toast Titanium 5.2.3 in a DVD mode says "Waiting for Writer" when I put either of the Power Points or the QuickTime 3.5 GB version of the talk into it. What is the "writer"? Your advice will be greatly appreciated

The pps version of my PowerPoint "Crude Oil" is on a CD. It shows up well on my monitor and apparentlly on a PC system too. In a pinch I shall borrow a laptop and feed the projector from it. However, I think the images in the3.5 GB might be sharper on a big screen. . What do you people know about that? Is there a way to increase the resolution of a Power Point presentation by raising the dpi of the pictures or by making the images larger to start with?
It seems to me that I some Power Point movies I have downloaded are much sharper and larger than others.

Okay - I know absolutely nothing at all about Mac & Mac software, so I'm going to do some guessing here.
Are you absolutely certain that your DVD Burner is supported?
The "Waiting for Burner" message would suggest that your system - at least, Toast, cannot "see" the burner.
Can you confirm that it is definitely supported, and if so, do you have the latest drivers for it from Roxio?
I cannot see anywhere what burner you are using - unless I'm going blind or stupid!
Check this at http://rpp.roxio.com/drives/?page=supported_drives
As long as it is supported, but still not showing, can you verify at all that the drive is installed correctly and working?
Try disabling any AntiVirus software you may have running, or anything else that is running in the background.
You should be able to write a data disc, using UDF 1.02 or 1.5 or even 2. I wouls suggest using the default settings if possible. Again, my Mac knowledge is nil - so this is guesswork.
Also, try calling Roxio - they make the software and should be able to talk you through this. Have you ever actually used this burner successfully, and if so what did you write?
Sorry about the silly questions, but we need to establish what works and what does not, then we can work out what to do about it!

The burner is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104, It works well making CD's. I have no reason to suppose that it won't work in the DVD mode. The message that comes up is "Waiting for Writer." After a long time that changes to "Insert a recordable DVD disc." It is in the Roxio list. I just saw it. What is UDF 1.02? I shall call Roxio on Monday, but the main problem is my ignorance of how to make my QuickTime recognizable to
Toast
