Hi Steven,
you don't appear to have a reply so far so I'll tell what I can.
Toast isn't referring to the free disk space of the DVD but hard disk
space required.
Toast makes temporary files in Documents/Roxio Converted Items/.
If you have converted avi's in the past you can regain some disk
space by removing
the files in Documents/Roxio Converted Items/.
I don't know if Toast is terribly accurate in it's figures it
recently requested 9 gig free space when
there was actually 16 gig free.
There's also VisualHub that will convert avi's to DV or DVD but won't
give you a start menu. It
doesn't seem to leave temporary files anywhere.
Cheers
Brian

I have Toast 8 Titanium running on OSX 10.4.11.
I want to use Toast to burn a 688MB avi file to a 4.7GB DVD-RW,
however when
I do so Toast throws up the message ³Not enough free disk space.
3.67GB
needed, 2.36GB available.²
This is despite the DVD-RW being a blank disk. If I inquire via
Toast¹s
Recorder>Disc Info... menu item, the information tells me that
there is
Space Available is 4.38GB, which seems to confirm that the DVD is
blank.
The option I¹ve selected from the Toast menu is DVD-Video.
Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? Why the system is telling
me there
is insufficient disc space? Is there any way that I should be
burning to
DVD, with the resulting file being maintained at a size similar to the
original avi? (The DVD is intended to be one to be played on your
average
non-computer based DVD player). I also have iDVD which I can use if it
achieves a better outcome than Toast.
