dv and then iDVD re-encoded it back to MPEG 2 so there was some loss in picture quality. With the iDVD process the video was converted to. It should have been easier with Toast than with iDVD but it wasn't in this case. At least it works reliably, unlike Toast. The ".dv" conversion and burning via iDVD gets the job done, but requires extra steps. Toast hiccuped in the reformatting/conversion process, but just kept right on going to burn just 16 minutes of my two hour video. As described above, the burning process was a disaster, with no warnings. I could scrub through the entire video in Toast, everything looking good. This drag-and-drop transfer was accepted by Toast. The method I used to move the video from EyeTV to Toast was by dragging it from the EyeTV Recordings window to Toast's video pane, following instructions in the EyeTV user manual. I exported the file from EyeTV using the iDVD format choice, yielding a ".dv" file which was readable by iDVD. The whole reason I got the new version of Toast was to make the process very simple. I'm not too keen on a lot more experimenting. Keep in mind that it did not give me any error message. I suspect that Toast 11 has serious flaws. I'm not optimistic that there is an easy solution.
#ELGATO EYETV 3.5.6 SOFTWARE#
This appears to be a software problem, perhaps in EyeTV, but more likely in Toast. The second two hour show was equally successful via iDVD.
#ELGATO EYETV 3.5.6 HOW TO#
I tried turning off verification, recording at 4x (way reduced speed), etc.įinally, I figured out how to move iDVD from another computer, Exported in iDVD format from EyeTV, launched with iDVD, set up the menu screen and burned it. Then it indicates that it has started writing and that it will be done in a couple minutes. Then it starts multiplexing again at 0%, briefly. Next it indicates that it is multiplexing and gets up to about 13%. The first progress message indicates that it is Encoding.
#ELGATO EYETV 3.5.6 MAC OSX#
I tried the second two hour show and got maybe 30 minutes of it.īy the way, I'm running Mac OSX 10.8.2 on a MacBook Pro Retina purchased a few months ago. There were no warnings issued by Toast and I ended up with 16 minutes of my two hour show on DVD. So I launched EyeTV and Toast, dragged the first EyeTV program over to the Toast video pane, verified there would be enough space on a regular size DVR disc and pressed "Burn". I was looking for a straightforward, no-frills way to transfer a couple EyeTV programs to DVD. (I had owned Toast 10 and earlier versions.) So, I purchased the current version of Toast Titanium 11.1_1072 and downloaded it. My EyeTV3 version 3.5.6 (6920) software documentation suggests an easy way to burn a DVD of my program.
