ok....so i've followed the thread here about converting .avi to .mov and then placing the .mov in toast 6 to burn to a DVD (using the video tab, DVD-video, NTSC, and creating a DVD menu). so after about a 10 hour session of video compression and burning, at the very end, while writing the lead-out this pops up. "The drive reported an error: Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR Sense Code = 0x73, 0x04".....what the **** does this mean. i've gone through like 3000 DVD-R (not really) trying to get this thing right and i'm at a lost right now....please someone help. thanx. :mad:

I use a program called FFmpegX to do it. It creates a VideoTS and an Audio TS folder, in the root folder. From there I drag those two (V-TS A-TS) to a blank DVD+R (haven't tried -R) and burn using the finder. The resulting DVD plays fine on my Mac and my cheapo DVD player. And FFmpegX is free.

so u convert your .mov to video-ts and audio-ts folders using FFmpegX?? because i generally only use ffmpegx for converting .avi to .mov (that's how i got all my .mov to begin with), so i should convert them to video and audio folders then burn them in toast?
