Music DVD's at 96/24

[BJMarsh]

Folks,

 

I don't seem to be able to burn Music DVD's at 96/24 any longer. Toast 8 worked, Toast 10 does not. It starts the process but the program crashes.

 

Anyone have a solution?

All I know is what I've read here. Users report they can record 48/24 but have lots of issues with 96/24. I'm presuming your source tracks are already 24/96 and you're not trying to have Toast resample them. Which version OS X are you using. I've wondered if the new QuickTime would help resolve this problem since Toast uses QuickTime's codecs.

OK, let me tell you about my setup. My source files are 96/24 files saved in Apple Lossless, my OS is 10.6.3.

I confirmed that I could not successfully burn or create an image using source files that were 96/24. What would happen is that somewhere during the conversion process, Toast would crash. I thought that I was being a little irresponsible by not downloading the latest version and testing that. So I downloaded and repeated the same process (saving to an image on a network drive). I got an error (-39 I think), but it did not crash. The error was something about unable to access some part of the image created. Since I was saving the image to a networked drive (maybe not handling permissions correctly), I tried the same process but saved to my desktop. It worked. Unless I have another issue, I will consider the update successful!

 

Regarding the codecs used, I never deleted my version of Toast 8 which never failed so unless Roxio made a change to the Quicktime codecs for versions 9 & 10, then I think I would rule that out.

 

Thanks for your help,
