I’ve been getting feedback that Toast 9 will re-encode your material even after you follow my Mpeg Streamclip walkthrough. If you had Toast 10 I would recommend you following my steps with one change because you are outputting to DVD instead of Blu-Ray. In Compressor, make sure your max bit rate is NO MORE THAN 15mbps. The DVD disk in communication with the player will not be able to handle anything higher than that. If you were outputting to Blu-Ray, the target bit rate could be as high as 35-40mbps.

So you really have two options with Toast 9, Compress in compressor or Compress in Toast. With my experience, Toast re-compressed anything I gave it anyway so why not just give it the raw uncompressed media and let it do the compressing. Just make sure you max but rate is no higher than 15mbps if you are sending out to DVD.

If you have any other questions, please also post on my blog thread: https://www.theatticdoormovie.com/2009/mac-bluray/

Very odd. I have not had the error -50. Your image should look great though with no problems using the above method. I started using it that way and was satisfied with the result. The problem is your 5.1 is being demuxed by Toast. If it’s not crucial that this stays in tact the result should be totally cool. For me, this is my first feature film and I am really particular about how it will screen. We spent a lot of time and money getting that 5.1 laid in, what’s the point if you can’t hear it 🙂

BTW, are you creating a BD disk image?

Unfortunately, I don’t have experience with Toast 9. Can you tell me a little more about your encoding? Are you burning Blu-Ray to a DVD DL? If so make sure your mpeg2 settings are no higher than 15mps. For some reason it freaks out if you go higher.

No problem. I figured there would be others like me out there crazy frustrated that the Apple workflow is not established.
