Thanks a lot, unfortunately our workflow – tons of EDLs pulling snippets from a large media pool – prohibits me from using the master session in this way.

The problem would be that the Intensity doesn’t support 1080p25.

FWIW I upgraded to Snow Leopard and have had no problems so far. It might just be CYA advice (do they mention something specific?), but you never know.

Cheers,

Thanks guys. Unfortunately Do Studio is way too expensive for me, as I only make the occasional Blu-ray for festival screenings and such, and it only works on Windows while I would like to do it all on the Mac with having to go into Bootcamp. I’ll take a look at Encore, but from what you told me, it doesn’t seem to be so promising either.

One thing I found out was, that Toast uses layered PSD files for their menu presets, which can be edited:

For older versions there is a even a pdf guide to doing just that.

So I might go this route and create a few customizable psd files – but boy, what a hazzle…

Cheers,

Don’t know which OS you’re on, but I have gotten good results using the latest version of Toast Titanium Pro (it’s a bit of a nightmare on a Mac otherwise) and the encoding set to “Automatic” and “Best” (was in a hurry). One problem with Toast is the lack of menu editing functions, I wish I could just import a menu from DVDSP.

I just got a “failed to migrate license information” after upgrading from 3.5 – hope AVID gets their act together soon.
