chb Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 -- Toast 11 doesn't say it supports file type .m4v? -- Also Toast 11 says it doesn't support MAC OS 10.8, which I am running. Is this true? -- If it is true that it doesn't support .m4v file or OS 10.8 why should I buy Toast 11? -- The program that produced the .m4v file said to use Toast to make DVD. What's going on?

tsantee Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 As long as the video is not copy-encrypted it will work fine in Toast. The list of supported video formats is incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chb Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 The question still remains. Will Toast 11 convert a .m4v file to a DVD (UDF) disk? Found a note in Toast 11 system requirements "* 10.5 - 10.9 inclusive only with latest software and security updates". So I now assume that my MAC OS 10.8.5 will be OK. Will Toast 11 accept, as input, a .M4V formated file? It is not listed as one. See list at end. Toast11 PRO doesn't list it either. I'm trying to find a slideshow program which I can use to make a DVD to play on my Samsung TV. The one I'm looking at outputs .MOV and .M4V files. A less expensive program but not as robust will burn a DVD in UDF (universal disk format) so would not need Toast 11.

tsantee Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 A .m4v is a mpeg-4 video which is listed as supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chb Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thank you very much. Confirmed in Wikipedia Raw MPEG-4 Visual bitstreams are named .m4v but this extension is also sometimes used for video in MP4 container format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
