I have a HD camcorder. I have on my hard drive hd files of my 2008 trip to Australia.
So - I get Toast 10 Titanium, with Blu-Ray plug in. I get the LaCie Blu-Ray drive, and some Verbatim BD-R media.
I create a blu-ray video project & drop in my files. It says it'll just fit on one BDR.
Now the encoding begins. Almost TWO WEEKS pass as the video is encoded (I'm using a dual G5).
Finally, the moment comes to burn the freakin' disc.
And then....
TOAST TELLS ME THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM ON THE BD-R. ("Need 22.91gb, only have 22.73gb !!")
NOT ENOUGH ROOM - FOR THE DISC IMAGE THAT TOAST ITSELF CREATED.
Did I mention it took TWO WEEKS???
The obvious stuff I checked - no, I didn't accidentally specify a BD-R DL.
Yes, these are 25GB BD-Rs.
No, I'm not much interested in doing a new encode. (I was at least alert enough to hang onto the temporary encoded files.)
Then I thought: "I know, I'll trim a few minutes from one of the clips - I'll use Toast's edit feature and set tighter start/end points."
BZZT. No good. Toast Video player comes up, but it can't open those .264 files. So, no trimming.
I even tried specifying 'no menus' at all -- but that didn't make any apparent difference.
As an ABSOLUTE last resort, I could burn two half-full BD-Rs, one with the first 90-minute (11GB) clip, and another with the 2nd 90min-11GB clip. But dang it, those BD-Rs are EXPENSIVE.
So, Toast buggered me, and took its sweeeeeeeeeeeet time doing it.
