Toast Titanium plugin won't work with iMovie! Help

[mikejr13]

Hello, Everytime I install the Toast Titanium 5.02 plugin into the iMovie 2.1.1 plugins folder I loose my choices to export a movie in Quicktime option pallete. Does anyone know of any conflicts? Maybe an extension or two to turn off? I also have an Iomega Predator installed on my IMac Dv edition as well. Thanks

Here is an idea, screw the plugin and drop the DV file into the Video CD window.

Yeah, I tried that first, all I get is an error message. Thank you for your suggestion. I guess I'll just keep making quicktime movies from iMovie and importing them into toast. Do you have any tips on Qtime movie sizes?

the toast plugin for imovie doesn't work with imovie 2.1.1 - just with imovie 2.0

aeschli, Thank you very much. That explains alot. Do you know if they will be updating it soon? The Roxio website is useless.

The best way I've found to do this (having learnt the hard was after doing things like assembling DV clips by concatenating the clip files together), is to use Quicktime Pro. Drag & drop the clip files onto quicktime, copy and paste the desired segments into a new quicktime window in the desired order, save the new window normally (i.e. allowing dependencies) and a small file gets created which refers out to the clip files. So don't delete the clip files!! Now drag and drop this small file onto the Toast 5.02 Video CD MPEG Tracks dialog box - press select then choose "one or more MPEG streams", and the assembled clips get encoded to VCD format.

Easy when you know how!!

According to the Roxio web page, it should work with imovie 2.01 OR LATER...

As to the trick going via importing individual DV files to QT Pro - does this also work when you have additional audio in the time track, say underlying a still picture, which is recorded as a separateMusic XX file? How would QT Pro know about where to place it?

Hello, after another month or so I've come up with how I like to create a VCD in my all Mac enviroment.

I do all of my editing in iMovie 2.1.1. Extra sound tracks, Still images pasted over video, whatever I want. I help produce a local public access show in Rhode Island called Sci-Fi Journal. Visit: http://www.risfc.org or my site at: http://homepage.mac.com/mike_jr/site/marvin.html

Anyway, I export the entire hour of the show or clips as chapters to Quicktime using the iDVD setting. Then I open the .mov files in Quicktime Pro and set the poster frame & make sure "High Quality" is turned on for my video track. I name the files in there track order, so I can get chapter breaks between the files as I export them from i Movie. Then I dump them into Toast 5 Titanium for the mpeg conversion. The video is great!

I have never been able to get the Toast plugin to work in iMovie 2.0 or 2.1.1...

Roxio has released a patch that fixes the iMovie export to Toast VCD. You can get it at http://www.roxio.com/toastosx/download.jhtml
