I ripped my HD-DVD of Serenity under Bootcamp using AnyDVD. Rebooting into OSX with Toast 9, the Toast video player happily plays the file (although only the Dolby Digital track, not the DD+ track, which in Serenity's case is the commentary track. This is a first OSX app I've found that will play them! It does seem a bit jumpy though (on my MBP SR 2.4ghz).

Toast 9 won't play the original disc, however, which only appears as a scrambled image.

Anyway, it seems Toast 9 offers easy encoding of ripped HD-DVD video files into any format you like. The main catch seems to be it doesn't support audio passthrough (as far as I know) for these types of files.

Knowing Toast 8, the video conversion in Toast 9 may well leave something to be desired in terms of quality tho - I haven't played with it much.

Anyone else experimenting with this?

Cheers!
