Here are the specs of what I'm working with:

Macbook Pro
Mac OS X 10.5.6
Drive - Matshita UJ-868
Toast Titanium 7.0

here is my problem - I go to burn a Video_TS folder into a single layer DVD and after compressing the files, it moves to the "Preparing" stage and just freezes - or just spins its wheels. I think the problem might be because Toast doesn't quite "know" everything about the recorder. In the bottom right corner of the Toast window it says "Matshita UJ-868 - Unknown Bus". I never saw that phrase "unknown bus" on my older macbook pro before and I think that's why I can't get Toast to follow through with a burn on anything. I've checked the troubleshooting and no topic is helpful.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this and get some ripped DVDs to burn for a change. Thanks.

Some Toast 8 and Popcorn 3 users with the new MacBooks and MacBook Pro's said they couldn't get Toast to work with their burners. Apple changed the bus or the kind of drive. Roxio recently released updates for those applications to address this issue but they've said nothing about plans to go back to Toast 7 with any updates. Your version of Toast has reached the end of its life.
