Is it possible to burn video widescreen on toast 9.05 cannot find any settings on toast for this. It burns my widescreen video to 4.3 format. Also how to unzip a 9.07 download. Thanks for any help. 87y

Double-click on the zip file to unzip it. Then double-click on the .dmg file to get to the mounted content of the image file.

What is the source for your widescreen video? How does Toast describe the video's specs when it is in the Video window? Toast usually gets this right. There is a setting in the custom encoder settings window to force 16:9 but sometimes even that doesn't do it. Click the More button in the Video window and then click Encoding and then Custom to get to this window.

You mention Blu-ray in your heading. Is that the kind of disc you're trying to make? What settings are you using in Toast?

I am using imovie 6 HD to edit I am currently returning my edited HD video to tape then loading it into an HP windows computer running adobe premeire elements from there I can burn to Bluray HD no problems.
I Have Toast 9.5 on my mac pro so I could eliminate the exta steps now that mac has bluray burners. I have did the steps in the custom encoding setting it to 16:9 it came up with mpeg-4-avc encoding which I left should I have changed this to mpeg-2 ?    I  burned the first disc before I found the custom menu beautiful but of course 4;3 The next two were burned with 16:9 setting both were 4:3 am I missing something else in the custom menu? I am new to toast so much appreciate your time and help

You shouldn't have this problem if you use the iMovie project file as the source video in Toast. If the iMovie project file is in your default Movies folder then select Movies with the top button of the Toast Media Browser and then drag the movie from the browser to the main Toast window. The specs of the video appear in the main Toast window. What are they?
