8/27/2019 Toast Titanium Divx Codec For Windows
Ok, but I have lots of avi files. Is it also possible to use DVD-ROM(UDF) to burn the avi files and then use it in a Divx player? Or do I have to convert the avi files to Divx?
Toast Titanium Divx Codec For Windows Media Player 11
I'm not really sure. Many AVI's are already DivX files but others use codecs that likely cannot be read by a DivX-certified player. If you look at the AVI's in the Toast Media Browser or add them to the Video window you will see a description that includes DivX if that is the encoding codec that was used. (In the Media Browser you need to select a title and click the eye icon in the lower right to see a file description. One I've checked states 'DivX Movie File' right below the video's title.
I also don't know if there are some other MPEG 4 formats that can be played by DivX-certified players. DivX sells a standalone encoder if you don't have Toast 8 or 9. Whoa whoa whoa! I have Toast 9 and I was just about to purchase Toast 10 when I read this. So you're saying that in Toast 10 we cannot burn our AVI or MPG files to a DivX CD or DVD? Even though this feature works beautifully in Toast 9.
Any comments from Roxio on why they would remove a major functionality from Toast 10? Kupe You're not going to get an answer from Roxio. Over the years I know it's not the kind of question they address in the forums. I'm disappointed, too, that I have to keep Toast 9 for the DivX encoding. I'm speculating the reason(s) had to do with customer research about how little this feature was used in Toast, licensing fees, compatibility issues with other Toast features, and/or the much-greater emphasis on h.264 rather than DivX for Mac users. All those guesses could be wrong, of course.

All those guesses could be wrong, of course. Well, I'm open minded to different ways to approach a problem. The reason I like DivX CDs and DVDs is because a) I can burn them in about 1/10th the time of a conventional video DVD my setup DVD player can play them c) I can put literally dozens (even hundreds) of AVIs or MPGs on one DivX DVD So, I guess my question is, is there a similar solution in Toast 10 for burning AVIs and MPGs to disk that meet a) and and c) above?

Kupe My reason for choosing DivX is different: they take less space than MPEG 2 on my MediaGate's hard drive even though they take longer to encode. But the MediaGate can't play h.264.
If you can't get your hands on Toast 8 or 9 then go to macupdate.com and search for DivX to see what else may meet your needs. Edited January 14, 2009 by tsantee.

Toast 10 does not ENCODE DivX files, but you can do the following without problem: 1) Burn existing DivX video to a disc for playback on your DivX-compatible set top player This process is no different than in previous versions of Toast, you should use the Mac & PC or DVD-ROM UDF disc format, add your files to the Content area and burn.
2) Convert DivX files to other formats or burn to DVD, BD, AVCHD on DVD By installing the free DivX decoder from www.divx.com (click FREE DOWNLOAD) you can add DivX files to any video project within Toast. You can use these files, just as you always have, as a video source for burning DVD-Video, Blu-ray discs, or convert them to another format such as for your iPhone or iPod.

The program costs $15 to activate some advanced options, but works just fine as FREEWARE for the needs of most people.
The only drawback is that you have to carefully read the online documentation or utilize its online forum on (which is a great resource for all video burners as well.).

Thank you for telling me I can do things other than what I want to do. Even if the loss of DivX encoding was because the DivX people made DivX 7 intel only, there is still no excuse for not making this profound change in functionality clear. Edited August 8, 2009 by Mummer.
HELP!!My dvd player freezes and skips when i play burnt dvd's. Is the problem with my player or the discs?
The disks are the best quality i could buy (Verbatim 16x) and i am using a brand-new-2-day-old-computer to burn them. The disk are DVD-R.
Tech specs: 2GB Ram 2.4GHz processor 8x SuperDrive with 4x double-layer burning ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 memory The movie is fine and plays well up till about 1hr 30min, then it goes crazy and freezes every 7seconds or so. My DVD player is 3yrs old, a LG V782W, and after buying this computer, i don't really have the $$ to buy a new one, so if there are any other options apart from that, that would be great. P.S- I made a DVD image with iDVD '08 and then compressed it and burnt it with Toast 8 Titanium, if that helps.
Thanks for any help you can give. At what speed are you burning your disc? If you are getting coasters then you may be burning to fast. Burning movies, I recommend 4X or 6X for single layer, and 2.4X for double layer. It may take a little longer, but you will have better results.
I use Verbatim 16X DVD+R because my stand alone DVD player reads +R better than -R. If your player is a stand alone make sure it was made to read DVD-R, not all stand alone players will read both formats. Disc are burnt from the inside diameter out and if it starts at 4X inside it will be burning at a faster rate when it reaches the outside edge if you let it burn without setting a speed. That's why most coasters occur at the end of the movie. Thanks for those answers so quickly. In answer to some of those questions, CD's do not cause any problem when playing, even burnt ones.
Normal, bought DVD's play fine, so now i don't think it could be my DVD player. Also, the problem burnt DVD does not skip at the same points. What does this mean? This is really frustrating because the last sentence makes it sound as if its a DVD player problem again.
But how can it be when proper DVD's play fine and all CD's play fine? I am burning the disks at 4x.
Do you think i should slow that down? It's already pretty slow.
Thanks jsc: Will try soon on someone elses player ASAP. No, do not burn any slower, 4X is fine, and Verbatim are very good disc. Proper DVD's, I assume your talking about the ones you purchase, these disc are not burnt. Movies on DVD that you purchase or rent are pressed, sort of like the old 45 & 78 records of long ago. Try LG's web site and see if they have a firmware update for your DVD burner. It is just going to take some time to troubleshoot the problem so hang in there. When you say DVD player, are you talking about the same one you burn the DVD with, or are you talking about a stand alone connected to your TV?
I've actually read Verbatim single layers vary in quality (while their D/L are some of the best). I personally use TY (the best blanks made in Japan, bought online) @ 4x for home/family movies and other info that I do not want to lose.
I use Sony's for backing up DVD's, games and other data that's not as important. You can get them on sale (BestBuy, FredMeyers/Kroger, etc.) 100 for $22-25. I burn them @ 8x from a seperate hard drive and have never had a coaster or CRC error (and some of them are now 3+ years old). Another thing is that retail movie DVD's have a layer break (since they're dual layer), and if you don't have your software remove it while transcoding/encoding you may notice it as a pause during the movie. Some DVD players will make it almost tranparent, while others will freeze up as if there is an error/glitch in the disc. Ok, where to begin, everyone has good info, let's just add a tidbit. Hold 2 blank DVD up to the light, 1 DVD+R and the other DVD-R of the same brand (Ex: Memorex sell both kind).
You will notice some light comong through the DVD-R and not the DVD+R, this has to do with density. DVD+R has more density, last longer 'technically' then the DVD-R. Now just because I say it, doesn't mean I follow by example, I RiData 16x DVD-R disc and sometimes use TDK 16x DVD+R printables for the disc I want printed on. Now I use an LG 18x DVD+/-R burner, I use DVDFab Platinum 3.2 and have made more then 5000 movies in the last year, new burner, last one died (was an LG 16x DVD+/-R burner) I have only made about 40 coasters, (not really coasters because my cousin has a stand alone LG DVD player and the coasters work for him). I copy the complete DVD including menus and languages at 16x encoding/writing speed. Average time to take a new movie is 17 minutes encoded to harddrive and 6 minutes back to disk, copied movies (already burnt) take 13 minutes total for encoding and writing.
I use a Pentium D 820 (2.8Ghz dual core), 1.5 Gb ram, and 160Gb SATA HD. I copy the complete DVD including menus and languages at 16x encoding/writing speed. Average time to take a new movie is 17 minutes encoded to harddrive. I use a Pentium D 820 (2.8Ghz dual core), 1.5 Gb ram, and 160Gb SATA HD. Sorry to say, but you're transcoding the disc if it only takes 17 minutes on a Pentium D, not encoding. I don't know what you watch movies on, but transcoded full discs look horrid on my 42' 1080p and are unwatchable on my 720p front projector @ 92'.
Scene releases look great because they generally have one audio track and are encoded with CCE at around 3.5+ Mbps average. (not trying to sound like a smartass). Also, Memorex sells blanks from many different producers and they vary wildly in quality (even in the same spindle/pack). One will burn at @ 16x while the next 2-3 will only be 4x. DVD Identifier will show three different disc manufacturers in a single spindle. Ok, I am new here, and just found this site when I googled my problem. I have a 5 or more year old Apex cheesy little DVD player that plays all of my burned DVD with no problems.
When I try to watch them in my friends Philips surround sound DVD player that is only like 2 years old, they skip all over and freeze. Sounds like the same problems that some other people are having, and am just wondering what the solution is. Is it just the DVD player?
Because I find it a little odd that my old little thing works wonderfully but any newer high quality DVD players I have tried won't let me watch the whole movie through. Does it solve the problem when you burn slower? I usually just do it at a higher speed because they play fine in my little Apex. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks and sorry if I have asked this question in the wrong thread or something, or if I missed a solution when reading through. Conmoy, when you say 'freezes & skips' can you explain that in a little more detail? I've had the same problem with EVERY one of my burnt DVD+R DVD9 discs over the last 3 years.
It will reach a point in the movie, seemingly when it switches layers, freeze for a second then quickly skip to the next scene! I've used ALL kinds of media and it's the same result every time.
I use a pioneer DVR-A09XL with the latest firmware with AnyDVD running in the background. Anyway, from what I'm reading here, chances are that my player (an old Denon DVD-900) probably doesn't handle the DVD+R mdeia the way others might. I'm upgrading to BlueRay very soon so I'm hoping for better luck with playback. It would sure be comforting knowing that it's just a matter of upgrading to better hardware vs. Having 200+ bad DVD's!
I have had the same problem as well as my brother, and mom. As DVD players get older or used more often one of the first things they do if they could read DVD Rs is to develop problems reading them back. DVDs movies purchased at the store will continue to play fine for awhile but over time it will have problems with those too. I have discovered that the laser and software just will have these issues over time. The solution is to simple update your DVD player to a newer one (make sure the play media you use i.e, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW). In my experience DVD players just don't last that long.
Buying the so-called high end is no guarantee they will last any longer. I paid over $400.00 for a High End JVC that only lasted five years.
Now anything to far over $100.00 is my limit. The sub $30.00 ones are really no good in my opinion. The best bet is just to get a PC Media Center that connects to your TV.
Then you will be able to remove the DVD player and replace it with out have to purchase a whole new system when it stops working. I think everyone is missing a very simple detail here - Most people are only finding problems when they try to play burnt DVD discs on an HD-DVD player, DVD upconvert player or a Blu-ray player. I am assuming that these type of DVD players are much much too sensitive to read and play a burned DVD. I have burned 100's of store bought DVD movies using a brand new burner built in a quality laptop that I just purchased a couple months ago. EVERY one of them play perfectly in normal DVD players. NOT ONE OF THEM plays at all in my blu-ray player or my Samsung upconvert DVD player. I have used the best blank DVD media and I have used both +R & -R types.
Most of them wont even get past the menu without skipping to the point of the DVD player stopping it! So, in my opinion, it is not the burner. It is not your media. It seems they are making the new & improved DVD players less compatible with burned media - in an effort to stop people from copying discs. Doesn't this make perfect sense?
I think that you got an almost perfectly sense, but you still miss an argument (the compatibility and precision). Yes, my 15 years old Pioneer CD player (deck) doesn't even care about audio protection and just plays the CD with superb clarity and doesn't stop in any data track even if they are plenty on the disc, but don't get confused because there is a price to pay for that oldness and delightful liberty, you don't have mp3 or any other format supported (flak, ogg, etc). Now you can really be surprised by some new hardware (like my new Phillips DVD player), when I tried to play H.264 the player took about 2 minutes to read the video file but it actually played and in a super fluid playback, when it states only Divx support (yes, I know that H.264 get in a MP4 container, but there is always a limit on the total amount of information that the internal decoder can handle).
And by the way Casual, I think that you got a wrong opinion on hi-end systems (no-offense, just a point of view), they don't make them to last, but only to get every essence of the data that are on the medium. So if you want my opinion, go for the Golden Middle. Conmoy, if you have some doubts about your mediums, check their surface with a check disk tool like Nero CD/DVD speed, and you can also make a burn in the same utility to check the writing capabilities of your writer.

I have no problems burning disks, i use programs like dvd shrink and also dvd fab, they work perfect everytime on stand alone players and computers, after so many years of doing this 1 thing that is so important that no one has talked about is that 20 second lag in voice, when you are burning a disk, do not touch your computer or mouse and make sure that your screen savers are turned off.
I have been doing this for many years and i can burn a perfect dvd copy everytime.
Click 'Create New Project' 3. Drag the video clip into iDVD.
If you don't want a menu, click View - Show Map. Then, arrange the video clip before the menu, click it, click Advanced - Loop. If you want to turn to the third party software, there is an easy way, you can try DVD Creator for Mac, it can create standard video DVD, it can directly convert and burn any videos to DVD(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-DL, DVD+DL, etc), such as AVI to DVD, etc. Work well on my computer, i like it, and i believe that once you try it, you will like it too.
