I just installed Toast v10.0.6 and successfully linked to my TiVo DVR and transferred video to my Mac (OS=Snow Leopard).  The issue I am having is when I convert the videos to iPhone/iPod format (to my iTunes), the picture is distorted when I playback.  The picture is tall and narrow (think portrait orientation), and does not fill the width of the screen.  This is true when I playback in both iTunes and on my iPhone.  It's practically unwatchable, which really defeats the purpose of being able to transfer TiVo recordings to my iPhone, the whole reason I bought this software in the first place.

I realize there is a resolution restriction (640x480, apparently) for TiVo recordings, but does that mean I am doomed to a distorted image with an out-of-whack aspect ratio?  Toast defaults the Quality to "Standard", so I can't even access the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" setting to try and fix this issue.  Am I missing something?

TiVo recordings transferred to my old PC using TiVo Desktop Software which were then converted to iPhone/iPod playback just fine, even after I've migrated them to my Mac.  So I know the problem must be in the conversion process happening in Toast.

Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, were you able to fix it?

Same here.

It was working before, but it seems that with the last update the height and width are reversed, thus the distortion.

Roxio: any fix soon?
