  • continuous play issue on DVD’s

    Posted by Lorelei Young on November 29, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    I can’t seem find out why my DVDs exported from FCP7 to Toast 9 or 10 keep making a continuous play. I uncheck the setting on Toast, I havent made a menu (don’t want one). Roxi said it is a FCP issue. Any suggestions? This was not an issue on my G5 non intel MAC, just on this new system.

    Roxi is wrong it is their software that us making the DVD. If the video itself were having an issue then maybe final. Cut.

    I don’t know roxi software so I cannot say on that. But I would recommend using DVD Studio Pro.

    It is the authoring software that sets the looping-back point. FCP just provides the file.

    I am exporting to a quicktime format. Then dropping it in Toast with the continous off and no menu. I’ve done this on several on my G5 without issues. I’ll continue asking Roxio what the problem is. I upgraded my Toast 9 at $99. yesterday to resolve the problem but it makes no difference.

    Thanks, Lorelei

    If you have FCP 7, then you also have Compressor and DVD SP. Drop your SC Movie into Compressor and choose a DVD preset and add an ac3 file. Hit submit and let Compressor do it job.

    Take your M2v file and ac3 file into DVD SP choose one of the many templates and choose build.

    Drag the build folder into Toast and burn your DVD’s.

    Now you won’t have looping issues.

    If this is too difficult, then drop your self contained or reference movie into iDVD and burn your dvd’s.

    You have Toast, use it the way it was meant to be used.
