Toast 11 Video Encoding

[capgun42]

Hey Guys-

I am trying to convert a mp4 into the xbox360 format so my daughter watch her movies on it. It is 2.11 GB file so I know that it will take awhile, but we at hour 3 or so and looking 2% done! I have an 'early- 2011' MBP with 2.3GHZ i7, 8GB of RAM and the AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics card with 1024mb. I am running Toast 11.0.4 Titanium on OS X Lion. I tried to convert it with handbreak but it yielded a 5.11GB file that will not play or transfer due to its size. I hope someone can help! This is the first file that I have tried to convert with Toast I hope that I have not wasted my money!!

Regarding your size of about 2.3 GB, even without using VideoBoost...

Converting shouldn’t take much longer than a few minutes...

 

Do you have this problem generally or just with this particular file...?

 

Otherwise try MPEG Streamclip (free)

I tried converting two other video files and even on the 'fastest' setting It still is extremely slow...

Ill check out that other software i am just totally bummed that I spent so much money on this software and it has thus far been useless.. Maybe i can still get a refund.
