FCPX to Toast for DVD / Blu-Ray - Discs Skipping
Fairly new to FCPX (switched from Premiere > Encore about 4 months ago) and to create my discs I am sharing my file from X via Pro Res 422 then burning the optical discs using latest version of Toast.
The discs play on my blu-ray player but 50% of my recent batch (first batch of discs sent since moving to this setup) have said the discs either do not play or freeze/skip. (They tried playing in computer, DVD and Xbox players -- but each disc that was sent back to me played in my Blu-Ray and computer). I almost never (99% success rate) had this with Encore for authoring discs. Has anyone had this experience with Toast and X? I understand there is a option to create discs from X (however the menu graphics are limited that is the only reason I did not use them from the beginning) that I will try, just looking for some feedback from you fine group of people first :) Thank you! |

Re: FCPX to Toast for DVD / Blu-Ray - Discs Skipping
Two things that caused what you described in the past for me were:
1. Burning too fast. No faster than DVD 8x. 2. Too high of a bit rate. Older set top dvd players can't handle either of those things Btw toast does a crap job encoding Compressor is superior. |

Pete, thanks for the tip about speed and Compressor.
I created 3 sets of discs last night using the Share > DVD and Blu-Ray option in FCPX. The graphical aspect is less desirable than Encore (full screen photo with custom menu) and even Toast, but if they play then bonus, we win. |

Re: FCPX to Toast for DVD / Blu-Ray - Discs Skipping
For dvd 9 Mbs is the accepted limit. I like to play it safe use 8 as my ceiling. I haven't burned a bluray in a while so I don't know the bit rate.

Re: FCPX to Toast for DVD / Blu-Ray - Discs Skipping
Thanks... in FCPX, where is the bitrate settings?
I don't see those options and google search didn't help :( Also couldn't find how to change the write speed in X. |

Re: FCPX to Toast for DVD / Blu-Ray - Discs Skipping
I have only done this once so far but I had DVDs that were skipping and stuttering. The solution was to create a disc image from the file and then use that to create the DVD using Toast. It's a while since I did it and I am not at my computer so I cannot explain the steps just now but definitely give it a look

Seems like Toast was the culprit.
Ive since burned directly from X and so far, so good (cross yer fingers!) Thanks. |

Re: FCPX to Toast for DVD / Blu-Ray - Discs Skipping
Usually it's the burning speed that causes problems. You can pick a slower burning speed in Toast but not in FCPX or Compressor. That said, I have never had a problem with BluRay discs directly out of FCPX or Compressor. Sometimes with Toast but those problems happen usually during the burn and the disc is ruined.
