How to encode VIDEO_TS to Divx in Toast 7?

[broaddd]

I think I'm missing something - I can see that you could choose one vob file and export it as DivX, but how would you save the whole movie as a DivX?

Extract the title you want and then save it as a DivX file.

1. Put the VIDEO_TS folder on your hard disk on the DESKTOP
2. Quick and launch Toast
3. Go to the Media Browser, select DVD from pop-up
4. You can then drag/drop titles or chapters into the Toast video window
5. Export to DivX

Is anyone else getting errors when they try to do this? For me, it's as if it hangs after encoding the first 6m (perhaps the equivalent of the 1_1.vob file.

Follow macuser25's instruction to use the Media Browser to select the video you want. Don't drag the VOB directly into Toast.

What media Bowser? On Toast??

This is only about Toast 7. It has a Media Browser for adding some kinds of content to the various Toast windows. When DVD is selected in the media browser you can select titles or chapters from a non-encrypted DVD or mounted video DVD disc image, can select titles from a VR-mode DVD recorded on a standalone recorder or DVD camcorder, and - when a VIDEO_TS is placed on the Desktop - it can read the titles and chapters within that VIDEO_TS folder.

The Media Browser also reads the default iTunes Music folder (including playlists), the default iPhoto folder (including albums), the Movies folder and, if you have EyeTV, the EyeTV movies folder. It is one of my favorite additions to Toast.

The Media Browser also reads ... the default iPhoto folder (including albums) ...

I'm not seeing my iPhoto pictures and albums in the Media Browser; it's blank. I do see the iTunes stuff though, as well as the Movies.

My default iPhoto location is on an external hard disk. iTunes sees it just fine and always opens up to it, but somehow Toast 7 isn't. I've tried putting an alias to the iTunes folder on the external hard disk into the "Pictures" folder in my Home folder, but that didn't work.

Any clues as to how to get Toast 7 to access my iPhoto files?

I figured out how to access my iPhoto library via Toast 7 "media browser" when the library is NOT in the default location of "Pictures".

I had tried earlier to simply place an alias to the iPhoto library in the Pictures folder. It didn't work. What DOES work is renaming the alias from "iPhoto Library alias" to simply "iPhoto Library". Then Toast 7 will see it.
