DLT and DDP file

Hi all,

I have two edit/production stations:
The newest a Mac pro with FCP2/DVDSP 4
the oldest M100 and a HP DLT8000.
It is impossible to burn DDP file directly from Macpro/DVDSP because I don't have the SCSI device.

What is the best solution to transfer the DDP file into my oldest suite an then burn it on DLT IV for replicator? Exit from DVDSP in Image file or other? And then which program burn it on DLT?

Thanks

Macpro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

This is a solution:
made the DDP file in DVSP and transfer to the G4/DLT
Burn to DLT with TOAST 5.2.1

Now I have another question: anybody knows if TOAST 7.0 has specific menu choice to burn DLT in UDF mode? In 5.2.1 only has one command to burn and say xhen finish the cycle.

Just burn your DDP files onto a DVD-R using Toast. DLTs are quickly going away.

Do not use Toast to generate the dlt for dupe. The best way is to format by DVDSP directly in format menu. If you use Toast, don't make the dlt with DDP file. Video_TS and Audio_TS only.
This because Toast output CMF format and DDP is a disk image too. Result: two img transformation, not good for replicator. Be careful!

Cheers!
