Snow Leopard compatibility w/ Toast 10

[SLanday]

I downloaded and installed Toast 10 Pro yesterday from Roxio's website. My main motivation for purchasing the product was to get TV shows off my Tivo and burn them onto a DVD to watch in the car. It wasn't working so after checking the postings here and at Tivo, I downloaded the 10.0.5 update and installed it. I could get the TV shows, but the video player didn't work--I just saw green pixelated blobs. I then downloaded the 10.0.4 update and took the video player application from there and replaced the video player in 10.0.5. Now I can get the TV shows and watch them on my MacBook Pro. I haven't been successful in burning a show to a DVD. I can get the editor working in the Toast Video Player and mark the commercials. Then I click save in the menu. When I switch to the Toast application, in the video section, with DVD-Video highlighted in upper left hand corner, I can see my TV show in the media window. When I click the burn button, a window pops up and says "There is nothing to record. Please add some data and try this again." Am I doing something wrong?

 

I have spent hours trying to figure this out without success. I am disappointed that I had to download the program, two large updates, and it still doesn't work as advertised. I know the software comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, but I'd rather get it working than return it. Any suggestions?

I am also running 10.6.2, and with the 10.0.5 updated, I can download TiVo content, but the video player behaves exactly as you describe: pixelated green blobs. Is there any ETA for a fix? $79.95 was a lot of money to pay for the privilege of being able to download content that I can't watch.

I downgraded to 10.0.4 and now I can get shows off my HD Tivo and burn them to disk.
