The one step we can leave out is the burning of the disk. What thelox is saying is that Toast has the function to mount the disk image on the desktop as though a disk were in the drive. We can then manipulate the files within and not have to burn the disk.
The problem I am seeing is that a VCD is standard mpeg1. SVCD is Mpeg 2, as is DVD. So...when we burn this file, Toast is not doing the conversion because it thinks that mpg is mpg and doesn't change the type. DVD players will only read layer 2 mpgs so that would be why it wouldn't work on a standard player. I think really the only choice is running it through ffmpegx or similiar program (are there any others?) to make the m2v and AC3 files and author those in Toast. Otherwise we end up with a 700 meg DVD that is suck quality.

thank you for the clarification.. but then why would you burn only 700mb file onto a 4.7gb disk.
just by the way.. i have toast 6.. i burned that dvd at about 500gb each file. two files... so about 1gb. and that only took like 30 mins. i had safari and itunes running at the same time. and that's on a mac mini.. it does have 1gb ram.
i am getting toast 7 today.. hopefully the store has it in stock. i'll check that out and post results.. i know macman had done it.. and said it was pretty good speed.

k, the lox you are a genius, it works when you convert the dat files to mpg files, then drag them to video then burn. But I have another question, when it burns the mpg files, does it automatically burn the dvd with chapters and all, or do I have to get a certain type of torrent file?

i thought i had on the other thread...
the chapters i believe are done automatically.. u can make your own menus..
the encoding does take a while tho.. that's why i leave it encoding overnite.

ok, by twice now ive tried burning from toast (dvd-video) and both times they almost finish but then they give me a disk error. The laast one said something about -050? The first dvd i tried to burn was an mpeg, and the second was an AVI file, no consistency here, im thinkin it might be the brand of dvds? u guys?

this is going back to a previous question in this thread. I have a bunch of .AVI files, that I burn on dvd. With ffmpegx i select the.AVI file i want to change in the 'open' field, then the save as field ...do i change the ending from .AVI.ff to .mpeg manually, because when I dont, it doesnt create the file. Im confused on how to convert .AVI files. Toast wont burn unless they are converted

Ok i know this is a lot of encoding but this is how i get my Tv episodes (AVI) onto DVD
First start by opening toast 7...under the "Video" tab choose "Video CD"
Drop in the episodes..for some reason i find that if i try to encode more than 6 at a time
they Fook up...so no mre than 6...it doesnt matter if the little coloured bar at the bottom
goes into the red at this moment in time because your not going to burn the image to a
CD..you just need the .Dat files that it encodes
Now goto "File" And "Save as Disk Image"..Save it somewhere..After it has encoded, right
click and "Mount it"
Now open the Disk image and goto the "MPEGAV" Folder ...You should see your episodes
there...they will be called "AVSEQ01.DAT" files
So depending how many episodes you dropped in you'll have as many .DAT files
OK now copy the .DAT files out onto your desktop and rename them to your TV show.
So....
If you dropped in 3 lost eps
AVSEQ01.DAT=Lost Eps 01.DAT
AVSEQ02.DAT=Lost Eps 02.DAT
AVSEQ03.DAT=Lost Eps 03.DAT
And so on......
Now open up toast again and under "Video" tab choose "DVD-Video" and drop in the .DAT
files...keep your eye on the little colouerd bar so you know when your DVD is full.
Choose the menu style you want and Goto "File" and "Save As Disk Image"
Once this has encoded you will be able to burn the image to a DVD and watch on your
Player
Guys i know that there must be easier ways of getting .avi files onto DVD but this has
always worked for me and with my new GigaDesigns 2GHz processor upgrade for my G4 it
doesnt take long at all
About 20 mins to encode an episode to VCD then about 1 and a half hours to encode a full
DVD
And please dont ask me any hard questions as i dont pretend to be a Encoding whizz...in
fact i stumbled upon this by accident
I hope this helps you out :D

This threads been a huge help...I have a question still, hoping someone can help me out.
I have a 790MB video file. I want to be able to watch this on a DVD player, not just my computer. I mounted the .bin and .cue files, and I copied the AVSEQ01.DAT file to my desktop. My only concern is this...the file is over 700MB which is what my CD-R is. I have some blank DVD-Rs also, but I dont want to waste them trying out different things. Can someone advise me on what to do? Is there a way to get a file that large onto a CD-R (or DVD-R...I'm still confused about what I need to put it on...VCDs can be recorded on CD-R, right?)?

that is pretty much the main way to do it.. i know i've tried it this way in its fine.. you can also check out ffmpegx..
but the toast option, i found, is to be pretty dang easy. yes, it will take a while to encode.. but just leave it overnight. go find something else to do while its encoding..
i'm constantly looking for new software for mac.. i did find this site..
http://www.pure-mac.com
they have shareware, demos and freeware.. check out the video section.. they may have something there for just that.. and if they do.. just post it back up.
