Burning AVI to DVD in Toast 7 (audio track playback 'clicking'

[Pip31]

Hi all

Well this is my 1st post - cool site with lots of great advice. My problem is as follows:

1) I drop the AVI file into the video tab of Toast 7
2) I select DivX and the Home Theatre profile, then burn
3) Toast takes it's painful 3 hours or so to encode and then - ping! - the DVD is ready.

Now when I take it to my DivX player (JVC THS-55), the picture looks great and the audio is good too. HOWEVER, there is a constant clicking on the audio every second (click click click).

I checked the player settings and it seems like it should take whatever I throw at it, but I cannot get any AVI to run without this noise.

Any thoughts (and a better way to encode that will allow the AVI to play on the DivX compatible player)???

I'm desperate as it all seems so close for a great quality film.

did you play the AVI file in QuickTime or VLC player prior to burning it? how does it sound?

I let it run in QT and it was fine (sound was OK and definitely no clicking). But I did no conversion through QT, rather just dropped it into Toast direct from my HD.

Other posts I've read regarding audio clicking using Toast 7 is when the Mac isn't updated to QuickTime 7. Are you using Quicktime 7.0.4?

I tried using the DATA tab last night and it burnt to a 700mb CD perfectly (well the quality took a slight dip, but very watchable and no clicking)!
