Toast can do a perfecty adequate job of DVD authoring, and HD too. But you need to be aware of what standard your source files are in. Not standard as in AVI or Quicktime because as long as you can play the file that sort of becomes irrelevant. But standards as in Frame-rate, either 25fps for PAL material, 29.9 or 23.x for NTSC or film, or even 30 15 12 if it was a screencapture or stop motion animation. Second important one is the aspect ratio, either 16:9 wide or 4:3 square.

If your original videos look fine but the encoded DVDs look jerky or wrong, then toast has probably guessed one of those values incorrectly and youay need to tell it what it should be using instead.

AVI usually, , which I know is a 'wrapper' so to speak.
Drop into DVD video in Toast to burn.

Hello

I use Toast to burn films to DVD but the results aren't brilliant. Juddering frames, patchy colour etc. If I play the source files via VLC or QuickTime on my Mac they look fine but Toast takes forever to encode and the resulting DVD when played in a domestic player is not good.
Any suggested alternatives?
