  1. I just finished converting a avi movie to .aiff and .m2v files using Apples Compressor. Now it would be nice to make a dvd from those files. How can this be done?

    I have dvd studio pro but it seems too complicated, unless somebody has a tutorial... Any other "easier" programs/ways to do that?

    Thanks!

    Toast 6 works fine with those streams. You drag the .m2v file to the Toast Video window. Toast either automatically adds the audio track (if it has a similar name and is in the same folder as the video) or asks you to select the audio track. Finish your layout of the title menu and click the burn button.

  3. Import it into DVDSP and when the M2V completly loaded into DVDSP simply drag it into the timeline. If you would like to make chapters just place youre mouse into the field above the Video timelime and click into it. If you would like to give youre dvd a name simply click on the untitled name and replace it by the name you want to give it. If you don't make menu's simply control mouse and delete it. First play is chapter one and under the tab GENERAL simply click on AUDIO: audio stream 1 ANGLE: 1 and SUBTITLES: subtitle stream 1 and select view. Goto tab advanced and click on embed subtitle and select the wright language.
    Press on build and a popup will appear where to place the build.( Normally it will save it under youre Home/library/caches/DVD Studio Pro Documents/ but any place can be selected. Once that is done check it first if all is ok and than press on Format and it will burn it onto a DVD. Easy as it can be.

  4. I tried the "Toast" option. It begins to encode the video, after 8 hours there was propably 35% done! I cancelled the job... Is it going to be the same with DVDSP?

    There are two reasons I'm aware of that Toast would re-encode the MPEG. One is that you are using the original version of Toast 6 and haven't updated to 6.0.7. The other is if the MPEG is out of spec for video DVD.

    Using DVDSP makes good sense to me anyway because you get to use its menu capabilities rather than Toast's basic title menu.
