Toast Says Only 19.6Mb Are Available On A 25Gb Blu Ray Disc

[Stephen P]

I am trying to burn a Blu Ray disc from the Copy button in Toast 11 using an .iso disc image. When I do so and click Copy, a message comes up telling me that only 19.6MB are available on this disc. This is a blank 25G Blu Ray disc, and I've tried this with several blank discs. Attached is a screenshot. You can see at the lower left of the screen that it looks like I'm maxing out the available space, but the .iso is only 4.98 GB. I have BD-R selected in the lower right. Shouldn't this allow for 25GB of space?

I saw the same problem in another thread:

It said to quit Toast and delete com.roxio.Toast.plist file from the User ~ Preference folder. I did that, but every time I start Toast it writes this preference file again. I can't get rid of it!

Yes, Toast writes the file again but the new one shouldn't have the problem of not knowing the actual disc capacity.

I now understand now that Toast rewrites the .plst file every time you open it. However, I'm still have the same issue with Toast not knowing the correct disc capacity of a standart Blu Ray Disc. Every time I try it Toast keeps saying the disc capacity is only 19.6MB. I reached Roxio tech support and they said to do the same thing: quit Toast, delete the .plst file, and try again. Still no luck, same issue.

 

I'm on the most current version of Toast, 11.2 build 3175. I'm trying it on both my iMac with 10.8 and my Powerbook with 10.6. This program seriously just doesn't seem to work to make a standard Blu Ray disc.

It's displaying correctly for me so I don't know why it isn't for you. Choose Disc Info from the Recorder menu and see what disc capacity is shown there. Also, I looked again at your screen shot and have alternate suggestions. What I'd do is select DVD-Rom (UDF) in the Data window and drag in the contents of the mounted disc image to burn. Also, having the Fit-to-DVD checkbox on tells Toast you want it to requantize the video so that it fits a standard single-layer DVD. Apparently you're wanting to avoid that by burning it to a Blu-ray disc so uncheck that box. Is this a standard-def video DVD image file? If so, why not burn it to a DL DVD disc so it can be played in a regular DVD player?
