    I just created a demo reel for an actor friend, and I'm having issues with burning it onto a DVD. I ripped the scenes, assembled them in iMovie, and clicked iDVD from which I should be able to burn. But I think my program is messed up, it got stuck and gave me the pinwheel as it was trying to encode. Either way, I'd like to know if theres a way to burn it using Toast or another program. I know it can be done, I just need to find out sooner than later. Thanks!

    As much as I appreciate agentgman taking his time to post I do wish people would not recommend WINDOWS software in the MAC forum...

    I'm in the same boat as the poster and if anyone has any ideas (THAT DON'T INVOLVE WINDOWS!!!) please post.

    Cheers!

    what did you use to create the video to begin with

    here is why

    imovie and idvd will convert any file format into vob,dv,mov,mpeg4,mpeg2 and i dvd will convert it to dvd minus you need to make sure you have ilife o6 or else you cannot use the idvd to convert.mov files it is only used in ilife 06

    Well, since the original question was that if this would work in Toast. I will address that.

    You can try dumping the .mov file into Toast. Put this under "video". Then on the left just click on "dvd-video". I don't have anything in a ".mov" so I can't try it myself.

    What you could try and do is export it as in image out of imovie. Then burn that with Toast.

    Please post on what you find.
