Disappointed - Version: 1.72u, 3/20/2008 09:56PM PST

Read the reviews, this seemed like exactly what I was looking for.
Tried it several times. It would create the .iso image, but then it would give me an error message,
saying that my dvd recorder was not responding.
Contacted support, buy never received a reply.
Was hoping for something easy to replace toast, but I guess
this isn't it.
Too bad

After upgrading to Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) Toast 7.1.2 quit working. I scoured the `Net and found that many people have the same problem. A semi-official post on a Roxio forum stated that Toast 7 will not be supported under Leopard, it seems they want you to buy Toast 8, which has mixed reviews (many bad).
I then decided to look for an alternative. That's when I found Burn on VT. I downloaded it and successfully burned a single-layer DVD to be played on a home entertainment DVD player on the first try (after reading the instruction manual) under Panther. Later, I successfully burned a dual-layer DVD.
Note: The documentation that comes with Burn is weak (I gave Burn only 2 stars for Support and Documentation). To burn a DVD for use on Home Entertainment DVD players, use the "Data -> DVD video" selection, not "DVD (UDF)" as you might be inclined to do after using Toast. Also, check the Burn preferences box "Create a fully compatible DVD-video disk." Then, drag only the contents of the DVD to the Burn window (VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS folders, etc.) , not a folder that contains the contents as you may have done in Toast. Add a name for the DVD and click burn. The program needs to build an image file first so be sure to specify a location with enough room. There may be pauses between steps in burning so do not disturb the program until it is finished. The program leaves the image file (.iso) on your disk when finished so you will want to remove it to free up the space.

So I am using Handbreak and my files are in MP4 format. I have tried to burn DVDs using IDVD but it is annoying and the quality is poor compared to the MP4 file on my comp. It always tells me the file is too long.
HELP, I just want to burn DVDs on to DVD CDs to play on my TV.
When I had Windows PC Roxio was the bomb. Fast and great quality.
