Hi Matt,
If you don't have Quicktime Pro you can use Toast Titanium 8, 9 or
10 to convert video files to a variety of different types and export
them
to your hard disk, or create & burn a DVD in Toast.
To export video:
1 At the left side of the Toast window, click Video and choose
DVDVideo.
2 Add video files to the disc by dragging and dropping them into the
Content Area from your hard disk or the Media Browser.
3 Select the video(s) you want to export.
4 Click Export at the bottom of the Toast window, or choose Disc >
Export Video.
5 Choose the Format to convert to. There are several options:
■ DV: Creates a standard definition DV file that can be used with
iDVD and iMovie.
■ DV 16:9: Creates a widescreen DV file that can be imported into
iMovie HD, Final Cut Pro or Express.
6 Enter a name and choose the location to export to.
7 Click Save.
Toast displays a progress bar and status information as it exports
the video.
NB: Converting video can be a very time consuming process, depending
on the format and length of the video as well as the speed of your
computer. Some machines may become sluggish when the CPU is being
fully utilised to convert your video.
Cheers,
Ronni
Hi Ronni ,
adding to your description , with video's saved from eyeTV ,
the Standard Definition video has Mpeg1 sound , and only has to
multiplex before
recording to DVD .
High definition video has Dolby Sound which requires the signal to be
" encoded "
before burning to disc. It's the encoding that takes forever to
process .
Also the high Definition produces a larger sized file for the
equivalent same time as SD
Cheers
Bob

Quicktime Pro exports as a DV stream. Toast will burn that as a DVD.

Hi, I have a TV series of various episodes on AVI files that I am
currently playing on my iMac using Quicktime.
I am trying to put them on a DVD and play them on the TV through a
DVD player, any ideas as to how I should go about this?
I tried converting some of the AVI files on Xilisoft Video
Converter to VOB files and then burning them on Toast but that
bright idea did not work.
So would appreciate any ideas you may have.
Thanks
Matt Falvey
