Toast 6.07 encodes mpegs again!!!!!

[pixel zombie]

i went to burn some music videos(mpeg 1) as a vcd disc and toast went ahead and reencoded EVERY damn file!!!!!...it took over 1 1/2 hours to finish this.....as far as i know there isn't a way to turn encoding off so i may go back to 6.03 which DOESN'T encode a file unless it needs it...

or u can just use vcdtools and make the videos into bin/cue first...

Whenever Roxio "updates"/breaks Toast, I keep two versions on the computer, just in case something like this happens...

I just tested this with a VCD-spec MPEG1 video and Toast 6.0.7. Toast did not re-encode the MPEG1. There was a multiplexing stage and then the burning of the VCD.

My guess is the MPEGs you have are not the same spec as Toast uses for VCDs so they were re-encoded to that spec.

Toast 6.0.7 actually accepts even more MPEG's then 6.0.3 without re-encoding, especially MPEG-2 with very high VBR bitrate. If they don't work in 6.0.7, chances are they are to far out of spec for a VCD. My guess is the bitrate on the files are all way to high for a standard VCD and Toast has to re-encode them.
