thankyou i already did . hopefully they will respond because they have not responded to any other ones

 

Brasco23, I use a Mac and Toast also. I have found
that you must follow certain steps EXACTLY and IN
ORDER to be successful with Toast. I have several
very expensive "coasters" in my trash can as proof.
Here's what I do and it works for me.

First use DVD Backup to process the files. Then take
the resulting Video_TS and do this:

Open Toast, click on "Data", select the UDF-DVD
option, then click on "New Disk" (very important step).
Then drag the Video_TS folder to the Toast window.
Then rename the disk (the one called "My DVD") -
rename it in capital letters (not sure if this is critical
but I seem to remember this from somewhere).

Now, do NOT burn a disk!! Save it to your hard drive
as a "disk image" file. When that is done, open the
resulting disk image in toast and "mount" it on your
desk top. Now (VERY IMPORTANT) open the
mounted image in Apple's DVD player or some other
software DVD player, and play a few seconds of the
DVD. For some reason this is neede to sort of
"validate" the DVD image. If you don't do this step
you WILL get error messages.

Now, Open DVD2One and select the mounted DVD
as a full disk copy and make sure the size is the right
size for a DVD (something like 4400 I think) - don't
use a "user defined" size. Process the files and save
them to another Video_TS folder (you will have to
"hide" the original Video_TS folder because
DVD2One will write over it (put it in another folder on
the desk top).

Now when you have this new, compressed,
Video_TS folder follow the same steps as above
when you created the image file except this time burn
a DVD and make sure buffer overrun is selected (I
learned this lesson the hard way also). Remember
the order of the steps is VERY important - especially
the "New Disk" step.

Hope this helps - it works for me every time.
