Just purchased an external DVD burner and am using Toast 8 with OS X
10.4.9 on a G4 iBook.

So far I'm batting 0/2. Getting nice video but no audio. I am using .
AVI files as the starting point for my DVDs and they have AC3 audio
encoding (I think!) I have downloaded an updated a52 codec and
installed it in the recommended place (but it has mysteriously
disappeared after I rebooted...)

Hi Kevin,

A couple of Questions:
1. In Toast 8, select the video title in the Video window and click the Edit button. What format does Toast describe for the video and the audio of the source file you're trying to convert to video DVD?

2. Did you download the Mac version A52 codec (v.1.7.2) from here & install as below?
<http://trac.cod3r.com/a52codec/>
To install it for a single user, copy A52Codec.component to Library/ Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and AC3MovieImport.component to /Library/ QuickTime inside the home directory.

My AC3MovieImport.component is in my HD/Library/Quicktime

They do say also, be sure to remove all AC3Codec. It does not work properly and can cause severe problems on Intel machines.

Let me know this info and we can go from there.

Cheers,
Ronni
