Burning Blu Ray Problem With Unsupported File

[rom999 0]

Hi all,

 

I exported an Mpeg 4 video from iMovie 10.0.9. Its 11gb.

 

In Toast 12 i go to Blu Ray video (i have the plugin) and try and drag the file in.

 

Toast tells me that "[Video filename] is in an unsupported format and cannot be imported."

 

What am i doing wrong?

 

The file is being exported from iMovie at 1920x1080 size.

 

thanks

There should be no problem if you exported the video from iMovie using its Share command.

And therein lies the problem!

 

If i use the share functon to export large videos they are not recognised by Toast. BUT if i export a small video (sub 1gb) then they are fine!

Is it possible you are saving the exported movie to an external hard drive that is not formatted to HFS+ ? The old PC-formatted drives have a 1 GB file size limit.

I am exporting to my IMAC internal drive then dragging into Toast. If it was a format issue then it wouldnt save onto the mac in the first place i imagine.
