:)

The data forking issue seems to crop up again and again on this forum.

I can't personally understand why a DVD I created mself from transcoded xvid files on a linux system, can suddenly be impossible to burn using Roxio Toast, I thoghut this sort of inconsistent operating was a trait only of Windows applications.

What is really the underlying problem, and why haven't Roxio fixed it ages ago?

Anyway, I have created a poll, and I thought it might be more fun to see the result, than lose a 5th blank DVD to the data fork demon...

Please all put in your 50cents, or sixpenceworth, or whatever...

I enjoy your sarcastic wit, but I don't see how this helps you with the problem at hand.

It's your first post so I don't know any history you're having with this. You've burned a video DVD from an Xvid source on a Linux system. Now you want to make copies with Toast. Is that correct? Are you copying from a disc or is a VIDEO_TS or disc image on the HDD? You mention the losing discs so I'm guessing the error appears some time during the burning. Is it a DL disc? What drive and media are you using? Have you tried a different brand of media?

Have you tried choosing Save as Disc Image rather than clicking the burn button and then burn the DVD from the disc image file?
I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!
