Q: Toast 12 dvd quality SO POOR

Hey All,

I just purchased Toast 12 and exported a H.264 via Premiere. Toast 12 is compressing it into an MEG-2 and the DVD is SO POOR. I can't give this to the client.

 

Toast is barely using the whole DVD and compressing a 14 gb to 2.5 gb. Just so strange.

 

Anyone know how to help?

    Toast isn't Apple software (neither is Premiere). You'll likely get more targeted answers on forums dedicated to that software.

     

    Having said that, you are double compressing. Unless your material is in H.264, do not export from Premiere in that format. Export it in the native format in which you edited the material.

     

    Once you have that file, let Toast do its thing.

     

    fwiw - I find Adobe Media Encoder does a better job creating the various audio and video files necessary for DVD authoring. Do you have Adobe Encore? If so, use that to author DVDs. (or use iDVD - it worked great for simple discs).

     

    Good luck,
