Image files

[Wotan]

I get an error message when trying to open an image file created in Toast 8.

 

If I try the "+", the file is grayed out

 

If I try Drang and Drop, when I choose "record", I get an error message

"CD-ROM XA or Audio tracks cannot be written to DVD"

 

Have I created original file incorectly in Toast 8?

 

I don't believe I've done anything different than using Toast 7

Then you probably didn't have DVD video selected as the format in the Toast 8 Video window when you created your disc image file. Possibly you had video CD selected instead.

 

I will recreate the image file to see if that answers my question.

Thanks

I'll see if I can get the same result. But why are you using Popcorn 2 if you have Toast 8?

That's strange. Did you create the file in Toast DVD-ROM formats, or in Toast Video format? Also, why do you use Popcorn 2 for the image instead of Toast 8?

If you need Toast 8 to create create the VIDEO_TS folder you're correct that the process is to Save as Disc Image. To fit that disc image to a single layer DVD, select it with the Image File setting in the Toast Copy window. There you'll see the Fit-to-DVD check box (on by default) and you can burn your DVD from the disc image file.

 

I still get "CD-ROM XA or Audio tracks cannot be written to DVD" when I selectt the record button.

 

Additonal info:

 

I'm trying to burn to a DVD+R DL

the "coy option" button is greyed

Both replies have aske dwhy I'm trying to use Popcorn and not Toast 8 and I don't known other than thats what I've done with Toast 7.

The manual says there is a "compress video" button to the left, but it's not there so I make an Image File from the File menu.

 

I create the file using DVD-Video from the video menu.
