Toast does indeed allow you to set the quality settings to cram more
on a DVD. A few days back I burnt 4 hrs of standard def video onto a
dual layer DVD +R without problems using Toast Titanium 7.13.
Here's a bit more info from the Roxio forums:
http://forums.support.roxio.com/index.php?showtopic=53086
"Toast will fit somewhere near 3-1/2 hours of video on a single-layer
disc. You can manually set your average and maximum bit rates and set
the audio bit rate to its lowest setting to get maximum content. You
also can choose Save as Disc Image to have Toast make a DL-sized disc
image file and then use the Fit-to-DVD option in the Copy window to
further compress the video to single-layer disc (that's the approach I
recommend).
Toast can only encode at full resolution. However, if you use another
MPEG encoder to make the MPEG 2 (or MPEG 1) videos at a lesser
resolution that still meets the video DVD specs Toast will use those
to put up to about six hours (or maybe more) of video on one disc."

Doesn't toast do compression of video to fit on one DVD? I haven't
done it for a long time, but have a vague memory of this being an
option

Hello Alex,
You should be able to fit about 2 hours of standard-definition
video on a DVD, or about 2 hours of high-definition video on a
25GB Blu-ray disc (I don't know whether Toast 7.1.3 had Blu-ray
capabilities), I use Toast Titanium 10 Pro.
Did you trim out the commercials before burning?
What message is Toast giving you?
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Wamuggians
I have been burning shows recorded with EyeTV by hitting the Toast
button (using Toast Titanium 7.1.3). This only works for shows
under 1.5 hrs in duration. I believe I have to export to another
format to be able to fit the longer shows onto a DVD.
Can someone please inform as to the best format to use so that it
can play on a standard DVD player? Also, do I export and save to
hard drive and then burn in a second step? Does this take an
extraordinarily long time?
Many thanks for your assistance,
Cheers, Alex
