First video captured - no permission to burn with Toast Titanium

[vetinari]

I have successfully captured my first VHS to disc (Mac).

When I choose burn with toast Titanium in the finish stage, TT comes with the message, that I have no permission to burn this to Dvd.

This is no protected VHS. I shot it myself.

What's happening?

I'm not familiar with that message. If Toast mistakenly thought it was encrypted then it wouldn't have allowed the video to be placed in its window. So this message may have something to do with read/write permissions. Select the MPEG file in the Finder and choose Get Info. At the bottom of the Get Info window there is a description of the file's permissions settings. It should have your user name with permission to read & write. Do you have administrator status for your user account on your Mac? You do if you're the only user.

I have r+w permission on the file.

Anyway, I ripped it with DVD creator from iSkysoft and that seems to work. It was a program taped from tv and that shouldn't have any encryption.

Glad you found a solution. I'm a bit confused, though. My understanding is you couldn't burn the video file captured with the Easy VHS to DVD for Mac. Now it sounds like you did burn a video DVD but were unable to make a copy from that DVD. In any case, you found a successful workaround.
