Nick Baer 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2016 I hope this is the same as the "My DVD" software that came with my Toast 14 yesterday. I took some AVCHD files, used Toast 14 to make them NTSC .movs (29.97, 640x480 about as generic as Toast can do). Dropped a .mov into MyDVD, and got the "Unacceptable File Type" error. Useless, because the warning box doesn't say "why"!! What do you guys do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bimicher 132 Report post Posted February 9, 2016 Why go to a non-DVD format (mov)? The DVD stabdard is 720x480 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nick Baer 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 Well, if there had been a drop-down option for 720x480... but since there wasn't, it's 640x480 Letterbox, which equates to 720x480. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Nick Baer 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 I just re-tried with iMovie (AVCHD clips in iMovie)... output .mov 640x480 Letterbox (720x480) and MyDVD liked it. Difference: iMovie with Audio track vs Toast with Audio unchecked. I also did an iMovie with no Audio , which also got the Unacceptable File Type in MyDVD.

0 theoldarchiver 54 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 I hope this is the same as the "My DVD" software that came with my Toast 14 yesterday. No, not exactly. Toast DVD (this sub-forum) is about a derivative version of Toast that one can buy in the Apple App Store. [Press release] I took some AVCHD files, used Toast 14 to make them NTSC .movs (29.97, 640x480 about as generic as Toast can do). Dropped a .mov into MyDVD, and got the "Unacceptable File Type" error. Useless, because the warning box doesn't say "why"!! What do you guys do? You should be able to make a DVD from your AVCHD files directly, without needing an intermediate format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Nick Baer 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks, theoldarchiver - My situation is that I don't do Nat Sound with the audio from the Clips. So I had unchecked "audio". I'll have to study further if I can substitute audio. Is there a new Sub Forum for "MyDVD" that came with Toast 14 yesterday! THANKS!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
