iMac i5
Sony HDR-SR1 AVCHD Handycam (30Gb HDD)
Roxio Toast 10.0.5 Titanium

Have not yet received a response from Roxio Customer Support so hopefully I can get help from this forum.

My Handycam HDD is full.  I purchased Toast primarily because of its advertised feature of "Archiving AVCHD Video from your Camcorder" as a backup prior to editing video (probably via iMovie 09).

Toast recommended 4 x DVD DL disks which I had ready to burn.

At the next stage Toast came up with the "error" message:  

"Only 98 movies or slideshows can be written. Please remove some items".

I guess that Toast has read the approx. 300 to 400 individual clips on my Handycam as individual movies. Apart from deleting my valuable movies directly from the camera I cannot see any other way of "removing some items".

Others have had the same issue. See:

In this case the person gave up and resorted to a Canon Archive solution.

Only 98 clips is very limiting (if not useless) for an archive feature.

Why is Roxio marketing a feature that does not appear to work?

Has anybody found a way around this using Toast?
