FCP & Toast 11 Pro won’t burn Blu-ray disc

Hi guys, just wanted to update you: Turns out that I can’t burn BD-R’s using Toast, I can however burn them on the pc using Adobe and also the software that came with the Plextor burner.

I’m still waiting for Roxio to get back to me. 🙁

Hi Steve,

This is an old post but if you’re still getting replies, I have a question since you’re a Matrox person. (Matrox Customer Support is rubbish)

I have Matrox MX02 Max. I used compressor to make a .264 file (there is no ‘h’ before the period in the file) However, nothing accepts this file. Neither toast, nor encore, nor matrox vetura playback.

I just want to burn a BluRay disk with the 18gb file. Toast says the .264 file is “an unsupported format and cannot be imported”

I tried custom settings in the encode window in Toast 11.04 but no joy.

Any ideas? Which Compressor>MatroxMX02> settings do you recommend? What is the final format that Toast will accept?

Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken,

Do you have Chapter Markers in the video file? Toast won’t accept files encoded with Matrox MAX if it has chapter markers.

Hi,

Yes I had Chapter Markers. Perhaps that’s the culprit!

I ended up making a m2v in Compressor using Blue Ray settings. It was accepted fine. I wonder if there’s any difference in quality between what Matrox can do and this method? Matrox is definitely faster.

I’m going to try a Matrox version without chapter markers now. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks a lot!

Ken
