Trouble Converting

[jenniferldm]

I am a complete novice here. I have been trying to edit together some video clips from some different friends/family. of course they are in all different formats, etc. bought toast yesterday based on apple store rep recommendation. for one ts folder, toast does convert the whole thing, but freezes video and there's no audio for last 7 seconds of a 39 second clip. Tried the suggestion of copying ts folder to hard drive and selecting from toast media browser, but it's still not getting that last 7 seconds (which does not appear as a separate clip - there is only one clip in the browser window). Any ideas would be great.

also, a friend posted a clip to her mac gallery. when i downloaded it it's an mpg file, but I'm getting the 9011 error in toast. Should I use that streamline thing recommended in another chat?

Thanks!

How was the source "Video Content" created? Does it happen to any other Video content from a different source? Also, verify you are using Toast 9.0.4.

Those clips may have been created with a standalone DVD recorder in which case you've encountered a problem Toast has with time code breaks. The workaround is to use MPEG Streamclip (freeware but also requires Apple's $20 QuickTime MPEG 2 Playback Component). Open the video from the DVD or the copied VIDEO_TS in Streamclip, choose Fix Timecode Breaks from the Streamclip Edit menu and choose Convert to MPEG from the Streamclip File menu. That saved MPEG video will work in Toast.
